Hello Busty I am now the proud (yes really) owner of two of the ugliest bikes made, well that’s what most people say. Sad to see the Blade go and if I’d had the money I’d have kept that as well. Tested a lot of the new stuff and nothing was really floating my boat, nothing wrong with them, just weren’t doing for me so I thought I’d give this a whirl.
Very very nice. Like the blue rather than the white, and its the Z version with the Yoshimura pipes. I would be interested to know if it runs nice and smooth, like the Blade. My GSX S needed a power commander to make it behave, so just wondering if the old school Busa runs nice and smooth. Definitely on my short list of bikes ! Really really nice !
It’s a nice sparkly paint job and looks a good finish. Was nearly three o clock by the time I’d done the paperwork so only got to run it along the road and then into the garage, super smooth and no issue with the pick up from standstill, throttle seems to respond fine. I’ll give you a further update when I’ve given it a run. Bit quiet after the Akro on the the Blade though
Nice. Definitely a marmite bike........I have to admit I love marmite and have considered a Busa as a future buy. Love that colour.
Been out today, 3 degrees, shitty roads, was no issue at all, it’s a big bike but you can’t feel the weight all the time you are moving, tight junctions are where you really notice it the most, the power deliver is great though , just feeds in as you need it, not twitchy or unresponsive at all. It’s not a Blade obviously but I’m happy with it so far. Looking forward to slightly better conditions so I can see how it really handles with a bit more speed.
