Hot Sauce, when the dark smoke windscreens are avalable you need one for that stealth bomber.

Welcome
Most of us here owned Busa's. I got the 14 since mine was stolen in May.
I look forward to seeing the new Busa parked next to my 14 - i want the best of both worlds.
Both are awesome bikes IMOP.

Not like I haven't been trying, trust me...but there's no money out there these days for bikes like that...maybe I'll just stick it in my living room on a piece of granite, should make nice art and a good conversation piece...:d

Ps i feel very welcome here unlike other sites, where you dont have the same bike as the other members, i just like to talk bikes and admire the other bikes win or lose in a race i dont care i just do it because its fun and it makes me happy. I dont belive you should ever get mad if you loose because there is always someone or something faster no matter what bike. People on other sites take this bike game really tooooooo serious, when it should be all in good fun. thanks Joplin

Riders are in different classes of riding. I think no one should descriminate in any way. It all great if your on two wheels.
Riding cruisers at slower speeds to enjoy the environment, or a sport bike at high speeds to become part of the environment is great. I rode cruisers for years, then sports to learn more about riding skill. I use all I've learned, and have a good time even on a scooter if thats all I could ride.
