I cant imagine how much those brakes cost...I take it with almost everything else, the Brembo's are aftermarket?

A lot of bike manufacturers use Brembo brakes so Im not sure if those are aftermarket or not.

Everything one Rob's bike is top of the line after-market parts.
Ohlins and Brembo do NOT come stock on a Busa.

And neither do magnesium wheels and ceramic bearings.

Or 1500cc stroker motors....

Or GT40R Turbos....

Or Under-cut trannies...

Or stand alone FMUs...

...Big money...

I would have to believe that FMU in "bike" terminology is Fuel Management Unit? With cars standalones are the best way to dyno tune your motor for whatever setup/power/best results/etc. But they cost mucho dinero.
