The feeling when you twist the throttle back on this powerhouse of a bike. The screaming 1300cc engine. 0-60 in 2.6 up to 225mph ohh what a feeling lol nothing will thrill me quite like she dose.

Who else has had the chance to ride one.

Haven't had a chance to ride a busa hard but I beat the hell out of my old zx14. I know exactly what you are referring to; it is like sitting on a missile. I took it on a 11k ride across the continent and hit some very high digits throughout NM, CO, UT, WY, MO, etc. Unbelieveably steady at speeds most bikes can't even hit (including my current one).

Yeah it's crazy how fast u get to those speeds

I ride an 04 Busa, had the bike for about 4 years now, every year I get a thought to sell it, then I go for a ride and she stays. Power is amazing, but its not too fun to throw around at its not as nimble as a 600. I used to have a busa and a 600RR it was the perfect combo.

I almost pulled the trigger on a zx14 at the end of last year, but ended up going in a different direction. I would like to take a busa or 14 out for a spin to see what its like.

BTW, who told you busas go 225 mph? I assume you're talking about something that's modded and built to hell, because a stock one doesn't go even near that fast.

Haven't ridden one, but have DRIVEN one:
Hayabusa powered C-Sports autocrosser

This thing is a rocket, so I can imagine what it would be like in a bike with 1/2 the weight!

Stock Hayabusa with no limiter will do about 196-200mph.

I've had a total of 4 Busa's over the years....however I didn't buy it to speed like most people. This is the only crotch rocket my wife will ride with me since it's got a comfortable rear seat. We rode this quite a few times to SF for light shopping and it's like an AMG Mercedes. Pure smoothness on the highway and doesn't get blown around by wind gusts on the bridges. Rock solid.

Although I love white cars/bikes, didn't like this one because a lot of peopel thought I was LE and did stupid things when I approached:


My blue one:


Most recently picked this up:

Why waste time on a Busa when you can ride a zx14R? And to answer questions, a full throttle pull in any gear on a Busa or a zx14 is mind altering. I have loved my 2012 zx14r.

I own a 05 busa, 2bros exhaust, and a custom toxic orange paint job. IMO its the most ugliest bike in the world, but the ride, well.. its something else.
