Jeff, you gotta ride one of these, much more nimble than the Busa and with the right rider, quicker;)

Bought one new in 08... Loved it. Changed to a light weight racing exhaust and tuning box set up on a dyno for a 20-30 pound drop in weight and 20 horsepower. Run -1 front +2 rear. My most favorite machine I have owned. At the time, with a pro rider, bikes set up like mine were running in the 8's at 158 MPH in the quarter. Not bad for a production bike with less than a grand in mods.

Have fun :reddevil:

I have a 2005 gsxr 1000,dry weight is 354lbs,it is amazing fast and a blast to ride,i have owned 2 busas and this gixxer is a wild ride compared to the busa,the busa feels a bit stronger at 160 plus,but thats about it.....

finished with the break in. real monster power, really works the body hanging on. fit and finish is great. lots of good things to say about this one. nice to be back with a Kawasaki
