Looks good. Still don't care for how the fairing sticks past the front wheel a little, but other than that it looks good.

![]() Busas are pretty heavy..I think the ZX14 is much more nimble and prolly just as comfy. But...if you like it than thats all that matters.

Love the look and love the color but those bikes are huge. They need to shed 100lbs.

While I would agree the Busa Class machines will not handle AS WELL as a a superbike (my old 999 for example) Busa's n ZX14 handle very well (so does the B King) Frankly it takes better than the average skill set to make much use of the difference.
While I like the appearance of the Busa better than the ZX14 (Just opinion here) the real advantage of the Busa is the Depth of the Aftermarket. You only need to look at Over200's or Gixerhp's Bikes to find Busa's that handle extremely well. Of course the Olin Suspension and Brembos help. As does the available shortened swingarm , for those of us a bit more budget conscious simple tricks like race tech springs and valves in the forks, and and going up on both sprockets shorten the bike.

I know, at this point, I can't see any reason for making more power.. It already has waaaaay too much for the street, and probably too much for some road courses.

Congrats and nice bike if you don't mind the size but hey...you just got off a Harley so I see no reason for you not to love it.
I didn't used to care much for Busa's HOWEVER after riding one for several days on two seperate occasions I have to admit that I liked it alot better than I would have thought. Yep...I'd own one. Oh and it had a turbo too...made me smile quite often. ![]() |

Somebody needs to tell Busa Shane that Busas don't handle well.
