It will be a hard ask. The current busa was built to some very specific design criteria to create a very specific type of bike. The current shape is supposed to be the most aerodynamic possible... so they can't mess with it much. Take off too much weight and you lose the stability. How much more h.p. do you want from a standard off the showroom floor bike ? (although the busa isn't the h.p. king any longer anyway).
Maybe some cosmetic changes. They could make it pig-ugly like the latest gixxer. Or take the lead of the latest pink/black one and introduce fluro colours, florals and denim effects. They could call it the "Not that theres anything wrong with that" range.
Maybe they'll go for more torque ? Possibly the 'Family Tourer' effect with two pillion seats, a DVD player and some cup holders.
Like you said... speed and power are demonised by the general public... and Mr. Suzuki wants to be a good corporate citizen.
My suggestion would be to copy some of the shape characteristics of the Stealth Bomber and make it invisible to radar ! (But will that beat the new lazer technology ?)
