2008 Hayabusa in Las Vegas

[Billy]

ehhh didn't really give me wood when I saw the pictures/specs. Then again it wouldn't because I'm not into sport touring bikes.

[SVRACER01]

you can see the GSXR1K lines in it. around the headlight and the tail. i thought they were gonna bump up the motor though.

I'd rather ride a harley than that ugly thing...still the most god aweful ugly bike ever made

fuck it why stop there? lets go 2000 with a turbo

[ZX-12R]

busa's are good for posing and dragracing and thats about it. same as the zx-14.

Do I detect some engine envy?

I'm always amused by the short sided views of people who relegate open class motorcycles to the poser/drag racing crowd.

With some appreciable saddle time on a Blackbird, Hayabugly, ZX-12R, or a ZX-14, you might be singing a different tune.

[RyanNicholson]

you could be right....i've only ridden a busa once, but i felt like i was riding a whale haha

[Luvanicebum]

I think he's making a Ben Roethlisberger reference

Roethlisberger, if you remember, was wearing no helmet, shorts, and a beater when he crashed his Busa.

Ohhh...ok....
wow, that was waaaay out there.

[Luvanicebum]

I tell ya I feel safer on the Busa than any other bike I've ever owned or ridden
as far as not being good in the corners. I've got some knee pucks that state otherwise. Some Ohlin fork upgrades, pushed the rear tire foreward up another 3/4", 43 tooth in the back and I keep up with most 600's and 750's in the twisties.

[TLRMan]

We all know that this sucker was aimed right at the Kaw, and if we know Suzuki, this thing is gonna ROOST! Hmmm....prolly around the 175HP mark
Actually, last year's Busa was still faster then the Zx-14, when they tested them both unrestricted. It's a cult thing, and will always be a cult thing.
I've ridden them, and I think if it had provisions for bags, it would make one helluva sport tourer. My wife even likes riding on the back. She HATES the TLR.

What my brother and I have planned, is to pick up an older one, and go turbo just for shits...Plenty of aftermarket parts still around, and since the new one will be out, prices will drop.

the new Concourse is basically the ZX-14 with bags and a screen

And, a driveshaft.

[newbob]

I don't really get it.
I might understand where you're humor is coming from on this,
but if that's the case, don't quit your day job.

I just call it like I see it. I know there are real riders on 'Busas, but I've seen tons on wankers on 'em too.

[ZX-12R]

And, a driveshaft.

And less horse power

[SVRACER01]

he said WANKER!
