I learned a long time ago... actions speak louder than words.

Yup it might trump us by a few HP, but nobody racing runs stock anyway.... and if you do....

They are right... nothing compared with the Hype.
Except the hyped sales of the busa.
They were sleeping the last 2 years....
Hell the last 4 years actually.
I fondly remember riding my friends 04 zx10r and pounding on a couple busa's!

Well, you can tell by the Zook's sales that they can string all the crap they want because only Kawi riders can call them out on that, and there aren't as many of us, are they? The few of them at the track remember us though... but like Duke in the Bush's baked beans commercial... they ain't talkin'!

As far as sales the hayabusa has had only one competitor, itself. Even as good as the 14 is it just don't sell. if the new Busa is a tenth slower in the 1/4 or 5 mph slower top speed it will still out sell the 14. Sad but true.

I'm wondering if Suzuki is trading the beloved midrange torque to get the higher HP output? Isn't it a rob Peter to pay Paul scenario? We'll see how the low range stacks up compared to Busa 1.

The only way the Busa could look good is to shave its ass and make it walk backwards, like the ugly dog it is!!!

They adopted the "Turbo Boast" from Knight Rider.
