When Honda makes a bike that does what the busa does better than the busa, I'll buy. (170hp V-5 Interceptor please? )

no that means its gonna be awhile before you get a new bike. Honda is back to the front of the rotation unless you are gonna try some other more obscure manufacturer. My prediction is bu the second week of riding you'll have the new Triumph Daytona 650 (I love the looks of that bike by the way)

Re: Thinking about buying a Busa....
Personally, I would leave the Busa alone unless it is for what Chain uses his for, rediculously fast in a strait line. As much as I dislike stretched sport bikes, Busa's are different. It is like that were meant to be that way. I find myself wanting one as well because I love to drage race too but I have never done it on a bike.


Good luck with your choice whatever it ends up.

Omaha, NE to Cheyenne, WY last September.

500 miles in about 6 hours.

~50 miles in 55 mph construction zone where I obeyed the speed limit.

`450 miles of arrow straight western Nebraska interstate where I did not.

Do the math.

Re: Thinking about buying a Busa....
I really considered a busa before the blade. But I had a reality conversation with myself and realized,
"Dude, you may be getting older, but you like jam the canyons. You'll kill yourself for sure coming off a corner on a bigger bike."
"Nah, busas' a sportbike, putz."
"Yeah, and how often did you sweep wide on the 929 and go, 'oops, better tuck back into my lane.' "
"Hmmm, I see your point."

Honda is paying him big bucks to keep this site running and to keep buying their motorcycles. There's no way Suzuki can match it...
