WELL I JUMPED FROM AN 06 RC-51 NOW TO AN 08 HAYABUSA. SORTA FEEL LIKE A SELL OUT BUT FOR WHAT I PAID FOR IT I DONT SEE ANY OTHER BIKE THAT MATCHES UP.

Congrads on the new ride. No reason to feel like a sell-out as long as it's what you really wanted for purely personal reasons. Now if you were influenced by rap videos or hp ratings, then the term sell-out could be debated. I personally could not own a Busa but I would love to take one for a spin.

I WOULD TAKE A LITER BIKE OVER THE BUSA ANY DAY, FOR WHAT I WANTED TO SPEND I FELT THIS WAS TE BEST OPTION.

guided missile

They don't all come with the same guidance system. That's how so many of them get piled up.

or some insurance

[stoney0422]

my cousin sold those piles when they first came out 4 of the first five were crashed in the first month and 2 or 3 of them were dead, what a great bike!! useless overpowered with no handling exactly what i want, good deal or not i think you are a sell out

The busa isn't anymore dangerous or faster than most 1000's... Probally slower still.. With a 175rwhp and 550-560lbs wet its just a high performance sedan. It does have loads of torque.. But the 1/4mile times stock where still in the high 9's and low 10's.. Its a good all around bike.. I wouldn't take it over any Honda though... Nice bike CoOkIeMoNsTA!

busas..bit fat heavy horrible bikes that go straight on when u come to a bend..
Yes they have a fraction more power than a liter but who cares when you can only use it on a straight..

spend some extra cash on ya liter motor and youll match it..

I have actually ridden a 07 model and it was useless compared to my blade or R1..

well thats my 2 cents worth..

By the way its been good reading the posts on this site but sorry guys im selling my 5 week old 2000km 07 repsol and going back to my 06 aniversary R1. For reasons that i cant quite put my finger on ive lost confidence in the repsol..Just doesnt feel as stable in the corners as my R1... Also theres the power difference.. My R1 eats my blade and spits it out..performance and handling. i dont know. not as enjoyable as my first blade in 2001... maybe the tyres..!!!..( battlax ) ( corsa 3 on the R1 ) . maybe cos its standard factory spec and my R1 is modded to the max ( 195bhp at the wheel dynoed ) but there you go...needs must and i have the need for speed..lol....

Have fun guys and ride safe...

thanks man. im not sure why a d t hates busas. i dont care for kawasaki or yamaha but i dont talk down on the people that ride them. im not a small guy and the busa seats me well. if i could afford it id have my busa and a liter bike.

Nice bike...

[Hammer]

Nice ride, love the color

[stoney0422]

i suppose that was a little wrong i do like to see more people out riding so if you are riding anything i applaud that but IMHO it could have been money spent better somewhere else but if you dont have any twisties it will do just fine and in that case congrats on the good deal!

As well.. Yes its not the bike for US Stoney0422 but it is a bike after all... And well he did jump ranks to a Suzuki, but nobody is perfect..

THANKS, AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR SAYING. THE BUSA WAS NOT MY BIKE OF CHOICE, ID LOVED TO HAVE GOTTEN ANOTHER RC, BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BIGGER AND MORE COMFORTABLE TO RIDE WITH A LITTLE MORE POWER WITHOUT HAVING TO MOD THE HELL OUT OF IT. "HANDLING"? IVE NEVER RIDDIN AN 07 OR OLDER BUSA BUT FROM WHAT I READ AND WHAT IVE FELT RIDING MY 08 IT HANDLES ALOT BETTER THAN THE OLD ONE. THERES A STEROTYPE THAT GOES WITH OWNING A BUSA ESPECIALLY IF YOUR BLACK LIKE MYSELF OR HISPANIC, EVERYONE THINKS I GOT IT TO LOOK COOL AND IM GONNA LOWER IT AN STRETCH IT OUT WITH A FAT TIRE AND CHROME THE SH!T OUT OF IT LIKE SOME POSERS DO. HONESTLY I JUST LOVE TO RIDE. AND ABOUT THE TWISTIES? I LIVE IN FLORIDA, NOT A MOUNTAIN OR A HILL FOR DAYSSS, JUST STRAIGHT FLAT ROAD. THE ONLY ELEVATION I SEE IS GOING OVER A BRIDGE. AS YOU SAID THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS OUT THERE, BUT IM HAPPY WITH MY BIKE AND DONT FEEL IT WAS A MISTAKE

[stoney0422]

then it works for you thanks for being a rider on 2 wheels

[A_D_T]

I dont hate them i just think they very over rated for what they are.. in other words a big pile of suzuki c@ap.....LOL

ps. ROKKETT pic of my r1 is on my profile... ill add pics of my blade maybe tommorow

Don't hate on the zuki's.

[A_D_T]

and why not.?..

i did actually learn on a 86 rg125 gamma.. then a rgv and i had a RG 500 2 stroke for around 2 months till it got nicked... but now.. naaaaaa.. my R1 Anyday.. funny really cos at my 125 time etc i hated yamaha tzr etc as was 2 big. now ive gone the other way around. dont like the small gsxr but love the slighty bigger R1..

Each to there own..

I have owned 3 busa's and a 2002 GSXR750 all where great bikes the 750 had 30,000miles without any problems.. I also had a honda the whole time as well..

[MoMan]

The Busa is actually one helluva sport/touring bike and rides two up real well. That's what it was originally meant for. That's why Suz makes a couple things called GSXR600 and 1000 for all out sport. I road a Busa for a while since I was storing it for a guy , and really liked being able to take many different circumstances without all the need for gear change gears.

[bjay51d]

I know the 08 busa is a better bike compared to previous years but its fugly.I think it might look better with a solid paint job.The way it is with the two tone reminds me of the katana....I liked it before the change
