I think you missed the point I was making. The s1000r and the zx10r are different machines for different purposes. It's apples and oranges.
Yeah I understand your point but they are all performance machines with a
capital
P and the whole apple to oranges arguments are an excuse and
a little bit :bs:
Lets look at what the original busa was all about...it was designed to set the
the land speed record and BLOW
EVERYTHING out of the water, handle well,
and even be comfy.
Now that Suzuki hasn't continued it, we have the arguments of how it no longer
is the busa's purpose and how at least it's comfy, etc. etc.
sport tourer etc.
The purpose of the busa never changed, the competion just moved up and
Suzuki never gave the busa it's just due or what it deserves.
I understand it's not being raced in the ama or they should do a complete
update it every 2 years but for the love of God...if your only going to an update
once EVERY 10 YEARS...then at least make it a true update. (heck the new
gsxr 600 just dropped another 20lbs and the thing didn't weigh anything to
begin with)
The busa doesn't have to be religated to just a sport tourer.
I understand were not going to smoke the liters on a trackday but we should
be able to walk and out top end anything in a straight line especially with a
major cc advantage...if we can't (which we can't) it's cause Suzuki dropped the
ball.
Now we've got liters that take us in the quarter, not to mention all the wiz bang
electronics and it's the apples to oranges argument...I don't think so...quarter mile
is a quarter mile. Let's not forget the busa's ORIGINAL purpose.
