Now that I have your attention...
NO THEY DON'T, and NO THEY AREN'T!! I know because I just got one!
I'm sky-high right now. I was nervous as hell at the dealership. It's been a few years since I've ridden, and didn't want to embarrass myself by either stalling it, or riding it into a pole, or over myself. I've read a number of the "Squid Tales" as was determined that this wasn't going to happen to me.
Due to the weather (overcast and semi-wet roads), I took it easy, but here's my first impressions. Please forgive the use of F'n.
This bike has tons of F'n power. It's incredible that the delivery seems so linear. Not peaky at all like on other bikes I've ridden.
I've ridden my friends Kawi 1200, and it seemed like a pig in corners.
The Busa feels almost svelte.
Due to the break-in period, I was told to keep it under 6k rpms, but I can't imagine how this beast is going to pull to redline. I'm F'n amazed!
I had forgotten what 80 feels like. It feels awesome! I can't wait to really get this thing over 100.
I requested the Suzuki option 1200-X00-11. That's the Super Speedy Color option. That's grey and silver BABY. That IS the fastest color.
I called my Dad as soon as I got home, and revved the engine for him. Bikes are a big father/son thing with us.
Thanks to all you guys for having this positive forum, and particular to Cache and Narcissus. I look forward to meeting the Busa owners in the Raleigh area. If you see a Busa NOT doing Mach 1, that will probably be me. The amount of power this bike has is truly awe-inspiring, and as such, I'll be taking it easy for awhile.
Thanks again all, and I'll hopefully be riding more than I will be posting, if you know what I mean.
I would be remiss if I didn't thank my wife for finally caving. She probably won't read this, but I'm sorry for being a real pain in the a$$ about this bike.
