I just traded my '05 Busa for the '08 Busa!
What a sweet ride!![]()
If we're here to help others.....what are others here for?
congrats.
Pics? Have you ridden it yet? If so, how does it compare?
2006 Triumph Speed Triple - Street
2003 R6 - Track
2000 SV650 - Street/Track
That's right, back to a 2 cylinder, 3 cylinder, and a 4 cylinder.
Can't really talk about comparison...I've only put 20 miles on it so far. Waiting for dry roads and I need to keep the revs down for the first couple hundred miles. It sounds mean though!
If we're here to help others.....what are others here for?
I am not!
However my '05 was traded in at Motorsports Intl. in Auburn and that's what they plan on doing to it!

I have seen the 08 is turning over 200HP with Brocks Exhaust, PC and little LOVE....thats sick

Congrats ..... I'd be interested in your opinion of the differences between the 05 and the 08 in the handling and brake departments. Enjoy !!

Let's see some pix
I am working on getting one too, hopefully. May have to kill wife first though.
What's the insurance company whack ya' on one of those?
I havn't seen the new premium yet...but the '05 was only $650.00.

Noice!!
Was the key taped under a beer when you got home again?
Why another busa?
I would have figured a 600 was in store for you next, due to handling.
Any way congrats on the new ride
I was just at Motosport today and I didn't see the old busa. Already sold, or they got it out back throwing the NOS on it![]()
~ Life passes most people by while they're busy making grand plans for it.~
While I can fully understand the intoxication of the sheer power of a Busa, I still can't fathom owning one just because of the bulk and lack of handling. How does it do in the twisties for you? Do you find that you can't really ride it with a group of 600 or 1k bikes?

yyyyyyup
As for handling, I've seen people flog the shit out of busas like you couldn't believe at the track... I've also almost rear-ended one as he jammed on the brakes & took a 60mph sweeper at what felt like 5mph.
It's ALL in the hands of the rider. Just cuz it's big doesn't mean it can handle....
It's just that 99% of the riders I'VE seen can't handle it![]()
