Ok so who's bought the new Busa then?

[humpbackmaniac]

Well me for starters but not taking delivery until after the winter for an 08 plate.

Anyone riding one yet?

Please no comments on the looks I like them. Mines a black one cos they're faster!

Nice choice...congrats..where did you order it from?

like the colour vs the blue but Orange is THE ONE IMHO but i understand its in limited supply.

You a member on UK Busas? few chaps got theres already..

Some chap has already had his b king turbo charged as well..

Not the 'Busa, but I picked up my B'King last week, and I doubt there's a lot of difference, other than neck muscles like a bull after a few hundred miles.
I had the original 'Busa when it came out in '99, and the new engine definitely feels like a step up from the first time around. The original had dodgy FI (in my opinion) but the new one feels like a perfectly set up bank of carbs. Still running in (280 miles to go) but it pulls like train at 5,000 (100mph in top), and you can feel that it's just getting ready to go from there on up.
And mine's black as well. Definitely quicker than the gay silver ones

Now just got to wait for someone to release a better set of pipes...

I love the new Busa, although I have bought a new Gixer, the Busa is too fast for me, I have to admit,but what I have seen and read about the bike, it is absolutately cracking.

What GSXR do you have? If it's the 1000 then it'll be as fast up to a point and obviously faster through the corners!

Cost wasn't an option for me, more rider ability. I am short in the leg, so I would have problems in general on the Busa, shame really. I bought a Gixer 600 K7, love it.







Perfect for me.

No, that isn't me in the second picture :-)

Was going to ask. If you were that short, you would have a little problem trying to get your knee down
