I know it's a busa but what do you guys think?
I bought this wrecked about 4 months ago and sold it to my buddy who wants to race again.What do you guys think of the paint. it's flat metalic black with the inserts getting gloss clear instead of satin clear.

Nice looking bike........for a busa 
And NO, the exhaust isn't garbage. Yosh doesn't make any junk.
Still a fast bike, even without a Brocks on it.

Buddy of mine has an r77 on his k8 busa. Great quality pipe... but it sounds like someone farting into a coffee can and doesn't make very good power. The upside is that it's SUPER quiet even with the baffle out... so you can go around in sneak mode (unlike my smeg lol).
It would look bad ass with a black ceramic coated Tsukigi Cannon on it

Is there different R77's? cause his are not quiet, I mean they are no alien head but I can hear him coming a good 1 mile to 1 mile and a half a way and they have a nice deep sound to them.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned in one picture it is stock height and wheelbase and in the other it is lowerd and has a velocity arm on it. that was our project today.

If he really gets on his bike it gets loud-ish. his bike is still quiter than another friend that has a 20" carbon fiber gen3 streetsmart system on his busa. That's the color scheme that I want on my 14 one of these days. The white is great and I get tons of complements... but it turns too many heads, and I'm pretty much the Anti-bling these days. How much did it cost you to paint it?

For a busa it looks hot./ black and gold is a great contrast. But a bit like some girls, till you check out the arse from behind , it all seems good!!!

The flat black looks much better than the dark blue in my opinion.

When we bought it the tail section was broke as well as the tail light, Hump and rear seat were missing, both left side pegs were broke, clutch lever was broke and one side fairing was junk, others just had minor rash, mirror was damaged, fron tire had a cut, windshield was broke,one exhaust can was rashed but yosh has great customer service and got him the parts needed to rebuild it for a great price. Trust me guys it even looks better in person out in the sun.

I was thinking black ceramic coating also. I really like that. One of these days I'll have to stretch my 14 a little. I've always thought 14's and busa's looked better stretched a few inches. Seems more symmetrical to me. Very nice.
