Fookin-A! Sweet ride man!

I thought I saw you post up on the FJR forum. (I thought I posted it here somewhere and hope I did not steal any thunder)

It has taken me a while to warm to the Busa but as you say Honda is really giving us no choice. It's bad.

The busa has more to offer than non-busa people think. Just like the Harley. I dont care. My son has one of the sweetest rides goin. It aint goin to the road race course but neither is that busa.

Good job tradin in the R1 too. Everyone and their brother either has that or an R6. hehehe

Did anyone else read the recent interview in Cycle World with the Hyabusa designer? He said the lines, bumps and bulges of this bike were meant to simulate the muscles of a buff masculine form. It's no wonder that your good lookin' wife likes it. It obviously appeals to her primal instincts! But what about the guys who find it attractive????

FÜCK OFF, Honda!

I made my decision....

Thank goodness the wife likes it!
Not my cup of tea..... (I like the ZX-14 way better), but can't say that I blame you.....

BTW, was that you on last month's issue of the BMW MOA monthly mag? An article about the Iron Butt......

If I was the designer, that's not something I would have mentioned in an interview.
OTOH: It's not gay if you keep your boots on.

Bought a Busa today and sold the Bird and the GSX R1000. I'm very happy with the Busa that has a superb chassi and engine I feel I have now found the optimal bike for my size (5.79) and use.

Another system an PC will soon be added. Not that it is needed, it is just something that must be done

Yup, warming to the busa...at least its not a kawasaki!! Whilst in the IOM for the TT races recently I quizzed the honda rep not that they would have much of an idea either but reckoned if anything was to be coming out then the upcoming mIlan bike show will have it. I see Honda have built a new and second plant in Jap land. Its is said that it will reach its full production levels by mid 2009. Will we see new bikes then? Prob not...maybe more asimov robots and jet planes....the only bike i like the looks of from honda is the CB1000R. Initial reports say that it is TOO refined?
