New 'Busa will probably be at the Tokyo Show in November, Katana will be the Intermot launch, rumoured to be a 700cc Supercharged Twin

That might explain why they dropped the gsx650f/1250 from the line up 2 yrs ago, well that and I don't think the bandit derived engine could be made euro 4 compliant. I'm looking forward to this as hopefully it will be another cheap commuter I can have a look at.

New Busa, I'll never buy one, but I can't wait to see what Suzuki will make of it!
P.S. After upgraded ECU I like my GSXR1000R a lot. :-)

We've heard it's a 700cc Turbo Twin, But if it is based on the GSX-R1000 they'll fly out of our place, and as i'm the branch's Suzuki Specialist
hopefully i'll be going on the launch wink

It's not a bad thing being based on that.
Will it sell is the big question.
Either that or they will have to release yet another variant of the SV650. smile

You're right, that does look rather good.

I know I've said it before, but your Katana with a pop-up headlight is highly awesome.
