sorry cecil, I would have to agree that busa's are quite the pigs...they are also way too...."cliche U know who" for me

But then again it's not a sportbike no matter how suzuki labels it...I have ridden them, stock and boosted...they are powerfull no doubt, but there is nothing "sporty" about them....

While all of the haters call them ugly, at least the nose was designed to be purpose built, to be aerodynamically slippery, that is why it has the lowest drag cooefficient of any streetbike currently made. I think the busa has some of the nicest lines ever designed into a streetbike. Some other bikes have ugly nose cones too..but for zero purpose, just some jap guys idea of what a bike should look like. They handle sporty enough once you get the suspension dialed in properly.
