Looks like the same old busa. I actually like the 06 paint scheme better. They are still hyping it as worlds fastest production motorcycle. I guess the rumors are true. Sosucky is sleeping over there. I didn't figure that they would answer Kaw this year (07), but I didn't think they would pretend the 14 doesn't exist. Everybody including the busa guys know the 14 is faster. For how long who knows. Doesn't matter. It is now.

Same as the 2006 'Busa, looks ok in the Black though.
They ought to remove the claim that it's the fastest production bike on the planet because it isn't. I know for a fact that a totally standard ZX-14 went through the speed trap at 198.7mph to establish a new Class 1 record on the 2 mile runway at RAF Woodbridge, England on September 3rd.

Probly defend and legitimise it by saying the press release was already issued earlier this year! Shame, I know I'd be pretty upset (read ^($#@) if I bought one based on the advertising hype of "the fastest", only to find out it isn't. Fortunetly I think most people bying are buying with informed information and do so based on other "requirements".

Still ugly....I just personally can't get past the styling....I thought the 14 was ugly upon first sight...but the busa took the cake at first glance...

I liked all 3 - of course I was partial to the Burgundy one as it was like the 00 model I had. The black was a throwback to the 02 LE which we couldn;t get in Cali anyway - the blue was nice but didn;t do much for me. Everything still looked the same to me though.
Come on June 07!!!

Yes - there is a solid Burgundy color (much like the Burg/Grey of 00).

Wow and folks knocked the "PapaSurf" blue on the ZX14 huh, must've been before Suzook intro'd their wonderful shade of blue lmao
But look out '08 I bet Suzook does something so spectacular we all trade the 14s for 'em!

I think the "GTR1400 (cough) or "Concourse" may give the 14 more competition than the Suzuki lmao

As they say, it ain't bragging if it's true. So when we claim that the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R is the fastest production bike on the planet, we're merely stating the facts.
Nigga pleeze!!

I guess Suzuki must have liked the 14's colors because they sure used the same ones for 2007!

Burgundy was on the 00, blue was on 02 (Japan edition) and black has been on most years with solid black on the 02SE.

Perhaps, but their 2007 color choices just happen to be the same as the 2006 ZX14 choices? Just a bit too coincidental for me that they would now decide to bring all of those other years together following Kawasaki doing it for 2006. I just think it is a message by Suzuki that says whatever you can do, we can do better. By the way, the Burgundy states Red on the website.
