How about Suzuki get their current stock Hayabusa on the money first so it can compete with the performance and value of the 14R?
No doubt the Busa is a great bike but it's always been beyond me why they haven't added the whole electronics package like the 14R has.
Kit the thing out and reinvent the legend...
And start by moving with the times and changing those bloody ugly square mirrors from the 1970's.
But a turbo Busa would be something to see for sure!!!

"Suzuki is broke{like no money} and can't work on shit !!!!!!!!!!"
Is that right? Say's who???? Don't count on it. Suzuki is back in MotoGP, not exactly your budget racing class. Personally I don't think Suzuki or any of the other major manufacturers will lose too much sleep over the H2\R. It's not as if it's going to sell in huge numbers and make big profits. JMO

I have nothing against Suzuki's and especially Hayabusa's.
Even though I have very little experience with them, personally I think they rock...

The H2 wasn't built to knock anything off anything.The H2R came first.THAT bike was the brainchild of one of Kawasaki's head guys...wanting to build an sc bike for years.Finally he was able to.And the H2R is the result.They wanted a street version for the 'regular' guys.It worked so well.So the H2 came out.It isn't a 'fair' comparison to any N/A bike built.
It was built as their Flagship SC bike.That's it.Whether it comes out again up the road we'll see.SOMETHING will from Kawasaki.Ricky said.."just the beginning'..and he talked at length with the top dawgs at Kawasaki before they even released the first H2R.He rode the prototype without the electronics.I think the other MFG's really aren't trying to best this bike with their own sc models.But the demand for this one is sky high.There's SO much potential with it...the street version.Kawasaki has built another winner with this bike.Just like they did with the 14 line.
The big talk with most people are the HP numbers.The H2 makes good numbers as is.When the Flash wizards get with this...it's gonna be way stronger.It can handle it.Kawasaki already confirmed at the onset of marketing...'capable of handling 1.5 to 2X's the stress' built into the engine.Lots of people missed that.

I wouldn't count Suzuki out just yet, I have a lot of respect for them, they are NOT a massive corporation
like the rest of them, and up until lately, they have been on top of performance for many years, I have
been riding for over 35 years, and this is the first Kaw I have owned, and its Awesome ! but there is still a place in my heart for Suzuki ....

maybe Suzuki should all jump on swords being a failure and had to file bankruptcy to cheat people out of money so they could enter moto gp .

Sheeese, I can see the ports of LA and Shlong Beach from my front porsche, maybe I should ask my buds in the ILWU to open a few of the KHI containers and see if a H2R falls off the truck..
"Waiting for the pic of the new bike Greenie!"...don't hold yer breath there Wolf.F-n port strike is killin shippings.

Man I wanted these bikes BAD way back when ... when I had zero money. Never got one. Suzuki is the only Jap brand I've never owned. Suzuki makes nothing of interest to me anymore.
What was I thinking?! Man this thing is ugly! But it wasn't back then!!!
Better, but not quite there:
Even better ... but 'only' a 750:
Hell to the yeah! Finally, an 1100!
^ BUT, by the time I could actually afford a sport bike, Honda had come out with this ... and I had to have it:
^ Not mine but I had the exact same one.
Sorry for my stroll part-way down (my) memory lane

Extrapolator got a questin about your 900RR experience. What did you think of the 16" front tire size controversy?
I was never a racer ... so I guess for that reason(?) for me it was never a problem. Back then had I not read it was 16" I would've never known. In fact, until you just mentioned it, I had forgotten about it. Had never heard it referred to as a controversy either
