*APRIL FOOL'S JOKE* Suzuki to discontinue the Hayabusa in 2007
[quote="Motorcycle News (MCN) 1 April 2005"]
citing slowing sales and loss of the "king pin" status to BMW, Suzuki US today announced the 2006 model year will be the last for the Hayabusa. Sales of the GSXR1000 have eclipsed the GSX1300r for the third year running. [Suzuki] feels that the sport touring market is softened up to the point where the needed retooling does not justify cost. Using forward looking financial models [Suzuki] has predicted that their will be further breaks in current sales trends. "Hayabusa models are taking up too much floor space, It was a good run but now it's time to move on"

Sorry to have to clearly label this as such, but this rumor is incorrect. An April Fool's joke that is still making it's way around online.

They tried to fix a shitty cam chain tensioner after the '99 model, but that's all that i'm aware of. Too bad they didn't give it any "cosmetic" updates
