K13 - Huls - 23-08-2012
Spoke to a local Suzuki dealer the other day regarding the expected arrival date for the 2013 model. He indicated they new models generally arriven around October, which is what he was expecting for the K13 Busa as he thought (like everyone else apparently) that it was only going to be a colour change. Suzuki have told him that it won't be until around March 2013, which leads him to belive that it may be more than just a change of colour/graphics etc.
Anyone heard anything?
I was waiting till October to see the new colours and then decide whether to buy a K12 or K13. At this rate I may end up with a ZX14.

From what I've learnt it's us riders that generaly know more about what's going on than the actual dealers.
Late arivals for the K13 could simply mean that there is still enough unsold Busa's in the country to prevent an early delivery of the new stock.
Keep your eyes on the US and Canadian Suzuki webistes as they usualy advertise the newer models/colours months before we get them.

I've heard that All new motorcycles to be sold in Aust from 2013 on , have to have ABS & maybe even traction control, so may be worth the wait . Thinking resale down the track .

Yeah I heard the same thing about the new abs law. After I posted I tried to find the info but didn't come accross anything that was definite.

RE: K13 - TheAlchemist - 24-08-2012
Just as a point of reference, wouldn't the 2013 be listed as a "L3" busa , K series are the 2000 yrs generation? eg: K8 = 2008
My 2011 is refered to as a "L1" so i'm taking for granted that the "L" series denotes 2011-2020 ???
Can someone clarify this or tell me i'm a fool LOL, i'm just curious as to whether i was given the right info too :)
RE: K13 - Axe - 24-08-2012
