Water buffalo will never be used, that name came about many years back when suzuki built and sold their firt water cooled street bike. It was a complete flop, and you might see one in a museum.

RE: 08 rumors
I remember a bike shopin Swansea,Wales back when I was stationed there in 1975 had a water buffalo racing bike: push to start, half fairing, clip ons, no fenders, that thing was wild. I saw a nicely restored purple one on ebay a while back, Id love to own one.Youd be suprised how nice some of those old jap bikes look now. I had a GT250 (a six speed no less!) and a GS750 once, great bikes. I couldn't afford to look at a Harley back then.

RE: 08 rumors
As many of you, I remember the Kaw Triples and the Suzuki GT750 as new leading edge bikes at the time. The Suzuki was not very pretty to me but the nostalgia in seeing one now is great. My neighbour picked up a GT750 about 2 months ago and is in the process of restoring it. Liquid cooling on a 2 cycle was a great way to get power out of them.

"How do rumors get started, their started by the jealous people..." Can't remember who sings that song, or the title? Was a song in the 80's. Everytime I see the word "rumors", I break out in song. LOL
