Ok, the Busa in short: big, wide, heavy and super comfortable. My initial reaction was "Why the hell do people slam and stretch these bikes!" because for as big as it is, it handles really, really nicely. At no point did I feel like I had to manhandle it or really TRY to make it do anything (even though it's got 80 lbs on my lil ZX6R).

The instrument cluster is like a freakin CAR: really well laid out, easy to read and lots of information. It has a freakin clock (look, I don't even have a fuel light or gauge, so this was a big deal to me ).

What's dangerous about a bike of this size (displacement I mean) is that it's REALLY quiet and the power is so smooth that it's easy to haul ass without FEELING it. 110 on the freeway felt more like 70 or 75. You've got so much wind protection that you're not getting beat up at all, and the bike doesn't sound or feel like it's working hard, so speed is deceiving.

I dunno that I'd want it for a daily rider, just cus it IS so big, but when we start looking for a sport tourer, something comfy we can slap some hard bags on? Yeah, it's on the list, definitely.

thank you, glad to see im not the only one who can appreciate these beasts while not riding one regularly!

I'm actually anxious to get this in some wind on the highway. With a double bubble, I don't think you'd hardly have to tuck.

That's one benefit of it I can't argue with.
