If you had to give up you busa

[yamwon]

Assuming that you had to give up the bus what would you guys choose, sport bike, more relaxed or cruiser, etc?

 

[SLEEPERBUSA]

ZX-12, of course.
Gotta have the speed!

 

[Woolley Bully]

03 GSXR1000, but I'd have to put in a custom mini dashboard around the gauges because as-is the instrument panel doesn't look finished. The magazine reviewers don't like the silver color but I love it, perhaps because I'm 50. The blue/white looks like it's saying "look at me, look at me". I think the bike says all it needs to just being what it is. Same with the busa. On the other hand I've seen some custom paint jobs that fuse the physical art of the machine with visual art in ways that are simply stunning.

GSXR1k. Might not have the same high end, but could still have that awesome acceleration

 

[Charlesbusa]

The kawa's 12r, rc51, or gsxr750.  It'd be a hard choice.

 

[ksheldon]

Aprillia Mille or Futura or Ducati ST4S

 

[bsrigley]

Other bikes!

Is there something else out there? JK

When I went shopping a few months ago for a new bike I actually didn't consider the busa my first choice. If there was no such thing as a hayabusa I would probably have bought an R1 or a GSXR1000. Both have excellent acceleration and both are, in most regards, as good or better than the bus in twisties and stunting. The Hayabusa does, however, exist and I therefore own what in MHO is the best all-around and sexiest bike ever built.

 

[CorrodedAlien]

Hmmm, I'd go to my second choice... ST1300, cannot go down in CC'z

 

[Abuser]

Duc 999 or Road Star Warrior - both have killer looks and both are V-Twins.

 

[outjustout]

It would have to be a GSXR 1000. As a matter of fact if I keep running into problems with the Busa I may just have grab one for a spare. Hafta keep the Busa so I hang with you folks

 

[Sane_man]

Probably would went to a touring bike, maybe a BMW 1200KT.

 

[VaBusa]

Big Wheel?

 

[STUNNAH]

If I absolutely had to give up the Busa...I would have to pick a
$#@!% that resembles Vanessa Williams...Shat I've got to have something worth riding...

 

[gararnett]

Probably a BMW. Either an older airhead RS (the first fully faired sport-tourer) or a R11xxR roadster. Otherwise I'd ride a streetfighter/nekkid bike (stripped sport bike with handlebars, not clip-ons or a Triumph Speed triple)or a big trailie (R11xxGS or Triumph Tiger).

 

[monsterspeedfreak]

I'd probably ride a heavily modded TL1000R.....next choice would be a twelve then a GIX 1K

 

[mikeyusf]

honda rune or VTX18000

 

[Revlis]

I stand by my answer of a few months ago...

A Confederate Motorcycles, Hellcat.

Custom made for me, 130Ft/LBS of torque, swingarm as exhaust pipes...Just all full of attitude and grunt.

 

[Max Speed]

It would be back to the V Max for me!!! Picture is from when Sue had the FZR and I had the Max and I just got the Busa..

 

[Mospeada]

A coin toss between the 03Gsxr1, 04 R1 and 04CBR1000. Or an RC-51 if I went twin.

 

[RaiderDm]

Big Wheel?  

Without the Busa I'd need at least 3 bikes.
GSXR1000 for Weekends.
SV1000s for the weekday commute.
GL1800 Goldwing for seeing the country.

The problem with the big wheel is there isn't anywhere for my wife to sit.
