That was definitely a case of form following function. Oh and the Busa definitely kicked the other hyperbikes in the ass performance-wise!

There are so many 1098's running around, they've become boring to me. I would actually rather have a 999 so I could be different.
I don't like the 748/848/1098 catfish face. The 749/999 is gorgeous!

The 999 has always been my favorite Ducati. Love that bike.

That was my thought as well, and having ridden a busa, and liking the looks of the BKing, congrats my friend!

Congrats Rick...glad to see it all work out for you. Hopefully I'll get to ride it one day as I did the Duc and I definitely appreciated it.

Yamaha's got the V-Max and now Suzuki has the Mad-Max...I mean B-King.
