I hope supers stays with the 1000cc bikes.

Looking for the date, where's the date?
Like the '06 1500cc Busa with optional supercharger.

IMHO (FWIW) that's fugly...no I'll correct that,
REALLY fugly.
Fins like a '57 Cadillac and that exhaust is just plain wrong and I thought the square boxy one on last year's Gixxer was bad.
Then again, maybe it's just the angle of the magazine and I'm not squinting right, or enough

there is clearly a competition amongst the Japanese manufacturers as to who can create the ugliest exhaust, for my money the r6 is winning with the gix a close second, however if that goes into production we will have a new winner

.... Top speed will be production-limited at 186 mph which can actually be reached in fifth gear of its six-speed gearbox. The new Hayabusa is also available with an optional supercharger, boosting its power output to 570 hp. The Hayabusa 1500SC will have the highest output of any production motorcycle by a large margin.

Looks fark all wrong with that in my book, bout time Honda kicked themselves in the arse.
Looks like 'welcome to the new generation of sports bikes'
Bring it on MR.K

That is TOTALLY photoshopped... look at the rear and front ends... they are identical to the zx14....
someone has photoshopped a zx14 and hayabusa together....
I believe it is a hoax....
