    A busa i would buy

    this is possibly the best custom busa that i have seen. clean, understated, and no flashing LED's! it even has a standard length swingarm!

    a must see

    this is really what i like to see in a custom. something that does not try to be over the top but pays homage to what motorcycling really is, performance with a bit of style.

    Re: A busa i would buy

    I like where they were going with that, but it's a very "front heavy" design. The front fairing looks MASSIVE compared to the fairly sparse rear section. That swingarm also looks slightly longer than stock

    But hey, in a world of ugly useless Busas, that thing is cool.

    lol its way to top heavy " It’s like a rail-thin girl with double-ds and no ass." my thoughts exactly... the tail looks to small like if they could take the gsxr tail and make it 3 sizes bigger then it be complete

    I like the smaller tail....I usually hate the look of busa's specifically because of the huge bubble on back bleh!

    best part is you can sill play the busa theme song and not look like an idiot with a 6 foot swingarm

    Suzuki had that very bike on display at the Vegas dealer show last year. If is very tastefully done.

    Badass bike I love how they took the busa tail off and replaced it.

    I don't like the look of them normally, but I have a soft spot for single sided swingarms. That one looks very nice.

    ditch the GSXR sticker and i'd like it a lot more.



    a GSX sticker would've been a lot more classy and less bling...

    Back in the day when AMA FX was no holds barred there was a team running a busa. it was nasty. he would come out of 11 at Laguna and stand on the pegs with his whole upper body over the screen trying (unsuccessfully) to keep the front down. he carried the front to the s/f line and it would only go down when he let off the gas.
