    carbon fiber wheels

    For those that bought a busa and don't see triple digit speeds, my question is "WTF" buy a rocket when a minibike will do. :laugh: As for balance, I guess I have been lucky because every set of Pure's have balance perfectly, I watch the tire change and I regularly see the speedo stop reading...

    carbon fiber wheels

    I have been using the BST rims for a couple years and I consider it one of the best purchases I have ever made due to the improvement it made in almost every category of performance for my 08 busa. My dealer installed and does all my tire changes, and while it is nerve racking for the...

    At What RPM Does "Oh My God Mode" Begin

    This argument is as old as "what is the best oil" or "what tires are the best" or "how to break in a new motor" and it all boils down to opinions. No matter how fast a vehicle is, the limit is on the rider/driver and throttle position. People buy what they want and no amount of peoples busy body...

    At What RPM Does "Oh My God Mode" Begin

    I have met a few people that bought a busa for their first bike. I think they may be the craziest people on the planet but they all survived and doing fine. Riding a sportbike or almost any bike is all about the fuzzys. Does it matter what size bike you buy? not really, it only matters that you...

    Supercharged Gen II

    B2B, Awesome bike and build. I too am looking for steady smooth power and will be looking into the same kit. I love riding the mountains and was always concerned with the power bands of the turbos. looks like the supercharger is the ticket for me. I also like the way the fairings are not cut up...

    Need help on used 08

    Buying a bike that is almost 3 years old with low miles seems to be buying a bike that has sit in a garage too much. Expecting to buy a performance vehicle used and expecting it not to be run is just as silly. The only way to be sure is buy it new, otherwise, don't fall for the " It was owned by...

    which is better... PCIII or PC5?

    I use a PC5 on my K8, no problems. I use auto-tune and secondary fuel module also. I purchased these before I bought the ecu editor. Is this better, probably not, but I can switch maps with the PC LED module and monitor my A/F and other critical readouts at a glance. Any dyno's doing ECU tuning?

    SELLING 2011 Hayabusa

    K8 MSRP was around 13000. My wife reserved the first orange/black that my home town dealer got on Sept. 8th 2007. The day that Suzuki announced the new line-up. I was in Kuwait and we were using skype, she picked up the phone and called the dealer. Freaked them out, she said that I want the...

    Cornering/Leaning a lowered busa

    I took off the feelers and yes it is close to tire edge, but that is the fun of knee dragging 480 pounds. As for low-siding, well, it can happen but hasn't as of yet. I have seen a lot of the 600's and 1000's slide out.

    Cornering/Leaning a lowered busa

    My busa is not lowered and I scrape the lower fairings when riding the mountains, so I would imagine that being lower, you will have serious scrap marks.

    California Governor signs bill into law, no more aftermarket exhausts

    Cities send more chemicals, sewage, and pollution into the ground water and air than business. Yet it is run by the government so they get by with slaps on the wrist while business get heavy fines. The states highways, sewage, run off drains, bridges are falling apart because they keep patching...

    California Governor signs bill into law, no more aftermarket exhausts

    Cali is a strange place, they want to to tax pot and make it legal because they are broke, yet they have about the toughest smoking policy of any state. In LA, you can't see across the valley, most days, yet second hand smoke is killing them. They need money, yet they are spending billions a...
