crankinpedro Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Busas are sweet but i would go with the gsx-r 1000. Although it lacks 10 hp, it weights 100 pounds less and is a much better all around bike. It will handle the corners and the only time the Busa will pull away is past 150 mph. Another wise choice is the kawasaki zx-12r, it handles considerably better, and isnt much slower. The kawi zx-10r, and new cbr 1000rr, and the yamaha r1 are also great bikes, and i would take one over a busa. Their is a 1450 kit and turbocharger for the busa if your really serious about killing yourself / 8-9 second quarters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TREELIZARD Posted July 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 before i sold my 954 i knew i wanted a new bike but just wasn't sure which one, so i went to a few dealerships and i sat on the gixxer 1000, R1, zx-10, zx-12, cbr 1000RR and the busa. and i think that all of these are great bikes and i'm pretty impressed with all the reviews that i've read on all the bikes but for me the busa just felt more comfortable when i was sitting on it.

Gargamel Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 No, that one is not mine. I had to sell mine for college money, but when I graduate that's the first "to-buy" on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducman Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Ducati's are better I'll second that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 The busa will probably minor changes next year the only benifit i see is finding a left over 04 and getting a better deal, the 1000 is scheduled for quite a few changes from what i understand. it just depends on what you want i personally would look into 04 zx10, 04r1, or hold out till the 05 gsxr1000. no matter what you buy as long as it isnt a honda youll be doing good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
