Has anyone on here bought or tested one?

My dealer says that all the ones coming in are sold before they get here, so a test ride is unlikely.

Has anyone tried one at all?

Don't know anybody but been reading loads about them... Not my style of bike, my GSXR1000 will probably out accelerate it up to 150 ish or be about the same plus I get to throw my bike around corners like a 600. I appreciate the ZZR may be more orientated towards touring but you'd better have lots of money to keep replacing the rear tyre! Would love to borrow one for a weekend but would be happy to return it at the end...

Afraid not mate.. Being a bit of a fan of the old 1100 i'd quite like a go.
I hear (from the usual magazines) its quite docile below 5k but a right starship above...

Meant to handle better than its 'Sports Tourer' tag label implies..

I think Mon Ami Mate cancelled his order due to dealer incompetence.

I have sat on one but didn't like it at all.

Too long, too high and I thought the Busa was bad looking

Regretably, I didn't get to ride it.

Not my choice but others probably like it

Was told by the dealer that the wait was lengthy because the ones destined for the UK market had been diverted to the US of A

I will get one, but I've decided to hang on to my 1200 through the summer, watch the demand and price come down a bit and then buy it from a dealer who isn't located in an industrial estate in Bristol.

My dealer (Pegasus Reading) has just told me that he has just got mine in so i'm just waiting for the paperwork to be sorted.
I am about to order a TiForce Titanium exhaust system for it which will save a lot of weight and increase the power.

Cool, would be great to see some pictures plus feedback on the bike... What do you ride at the moment?
