If none of those tickle your fancy, wait 'til April-May ish; Chain should have his for sale by then.

I say if your gonna do it you might as well get the Ltd Edition one. IMO I think that is the best color scheme it came in. The only other one I found that ok is the blue/silver one.

Re: Thinking about buying a Busa....
There are times that the thought has entered my mind. My wifes X has one...I see him on it, but could never talk to him about it, let alone anything. The weird thing is that it is the "same" bike it was years ago...I am wondering if they have any plans for it? Chain has held on to his....so it has to be good...right?

look at this one below!

amen brotha...I rode a friends this past weekend and even though I knew they were big as ****, I was still surprised at how heavy and cumbersome the thing felt...now, with all that said, it has a ****-load of low end power and torque...I was amazed that at about 3K, you were easily in the powerband...

hey dude, whatever floats your boat....try one out and then make a decision...

Don't forget about the solid black one. I still don't like the shape, but the black certainly looks the part...much like a black XX (they call it the Blackbird for a reason ).
