Personally, I don't think Conq is man enough to ride a busa.

Do the math.

And how many stops to fill the tank? Just so I can do the math.

Re: Thinking about buying a Busa....

At those speeds I was only getting about 160 to a tank - which is miserable fuel mileage since the busa will run over 200 if you baby it.

I averaged about five minutes a gas stop all day long. Fill, bite of a Power Bar, sip off a bottle of water, fire and fold the wings back again...

If you follow supercross you'd know that Suzuki bought Ricky Carmichael from Honda. Just proves they have the funding so lookout everyone...Busas.org is on the way soon.
