The Busa on the other hand with an easy to modulate clutch and mountains of torque would be king of the commute, interstate, or even canyon up to a 80% pace. Beyond that (and getting beyond that is racetrack hero stuff) you would appreciate the Yamaha's handling and lightweight the most.
Let's face it, yur gunna get lots of attention showing up on either as most really sexy girls do!  |
Yeah see most of my riding is commuting and Sunday rides (we don't have any real technical roads here.... nice straights, and some good sweepers, but no real "twisties" to speak of *pout*)... and while I do wanna do track eventually, we'll get a dedicated track bike (probably like an '03 ZX6R or something like that) for that. (I can't imagine trying to sling a Busa around the track at Jennings
)

Yeah the history of the bike is a big bonus in my book too, and the more I think about it, the more I think that's the route I'll go.
