1st Ever Busa !
- Thread starter geordie
- Start date
... have since put on a standard screen as I didn't care for the zero gravity one. --- thinking about a Puig double bubble in orange ?
- seats have been covered in alacantra - more grippy than standars and I don't mind them !
- need an orange hugger though - any recommendations ?

Congrats. I was thinking someone had bought #1 of the line 1999 
Welcome to the org, nice bike! 
Comfort : GTR obviously better - but the Busa's on a par with the ZX12 I had. It still took a full tank of fuel before I needed a break - so the comfort was what I expected (btw I'm 6ft 3" and about 15 stone) -- and it's got 2" risers fitted so wrists were fine too. (seat was hard though compared to the armchair in comparison on the GTR
Gearbox: Busa is lots better - no clunking and a very smooth gearbox - and virtually unnoticable clutchless gear changes
Weight and balance : Suprisingly not a lot to choose between them once on the move. Pushing them about is like night and day !
Engine : -- The gtr is a seriously quick bike too but the Busa is just more 'urgent' and you can somehow feel there's more power there even at lower speeds and believe it or not more 'revvy' compared to the GTR
Brakes : - The Kawaski's are miles better (and that's without even taking the anti-lock and linked trickery into account) - I knew they would be though and just have to remember that !
How the bike makes me feel !!! : -- the main reason for my change --- I love it already and it's a long time since I've gone into my garage on a regular basis just to look at my bike. It may be an age thing, but it's taken ten years off me

Beautiful Bike! I too find myself glancing at mine every now and then for no reason at all.
