If speed by International agreement is restricted to 186 mph, I see no economic sense to produce a more powerful bike so therefore there may not be another Busa or ZX-15. Motorcycle companies make bikes to make money... not bragging rights.
It it happens it might make our bikes more valuable some day. Law of Supply and demand. If you notice they don't make any more 427 Chevys. But go to an classic auction and see what they bring in today.

Any company will continue to make whatever they make IF they are selling. If somebody showed me proof that 06 and 07 bikes don't sell then I would consider the rumor......but I keep seeing them leave the dealerships.....

Yeah, I hope it's just a rumor. I want to see what new designs kawi comes up with for the 14. If it's like the 10, it should get lighter and more powerful.
