Picked up my 08 Busa today
Well went and picked up my Bike after work and put 40 miles on it. Went with the blue instead of the orange and black. To me the Blue looks awsome outside in the sun. Bike pulls very hard on the street we will se what the score board shows saturday if the weather holds out, if not it's going to be a long winter cause track is closed after saturday. Mods will be lowerd and strapped and pump gas.

Good to hear... How does it feel as far as braking?? That was my biggest complaint about my Busa. They say that the brakes are a lot better... however, that isn't saying much... Bentley let us know what you think. I for one am not into the speed wars, or the bantering back and forth, but I do want to know what the pluses and minuses are from someone that will be honest about it. Have FUN!!! I hear it is going to snow soon!!!! LOL

First Brakes are much beeter then the Old Busa, But still not as strong as the 14 front brake. Second I will give a betterreporttonight after a few more miles. 3rd I get exceptional deals on my bikes so you will not match what I payed. 4th I won't GTFO because there are alot of good people on here! bike to me right now feels real solid and well built. look for a better report later.

Hey, hey, finally someone who can come on a 14 forum and not start out with some BS "my busa is soooooo much faster than your slow ass 14" comment.
Actually I love all the big bike wars. Its good to see two bike bikes compete and have it be so close.
