Check out the old Allis Chalmers fork lift...Oh, Nice bike, congrats..................

 

[Tufbusa]

They are all Black and Yellow! When will the Black and Gray ones arrive? I am patiently awaiting the Black/Gray ones to show up. My son and I will have a matching pair!

 

[shenoyp]

Thats one good looking bike....

...I think I'll buy myself one of those for my birthday. A lil present to myself

I personally like the all black. But, the Black/Yellow looks pretty good too...

 

[BigBSBusa]

That is a good looking bike.

 

[billbell]

Very nice. Can't wait to see some better pics. I love that rear end on the Gixxer!

 

[BulletTrain]

I want to ride one. I already know it won't fit me as good as the 10 (from sittin' on them at the m/c show) but I would love to rip the twisties on one a few times just to see how they handle/run.

 

[arey]

Sweet! I saw one on Sunday that same color, the guy had already cut off the mud flap. Those new gixxers just look awesome.

 

[MC MUSTANG]

It's a great looking bike, but I HATE the pipe/can on that thing.

 

[GJoker]

Sweeeet! I have to agree on the pipe/can thing~ That's the first mod that would
be on my list~ Someone on my local site posted up a dyno chart of a bone stock
'05 1k.... 172rwhp!

Dayam!! I would love to add one of these to my stable..  

 

[GJoker]

Here's a copy of said chart...

 

[bacharles]

The all-black one is definitely DA BOMB!! I couldn't picture myself on any other color. I'm just not too fond of the yellow/black or blue/white color schemes.

 

[tedbiele]

Guys - yeah, our first impression at the dealer was the same.... WTF that canister is huge. But - at least they tried and made it titanium. Suzuki should have looked at the aftermarket and seen WHY we buy them and proceeded from there.

 

[IL_BusaBoy]

Damn good looking bike. Still considering whether or not I need one as a stablemate for my 04 Busa. Would make a very nice birthday present to myself, don't you think?

 

[superbusaman]

we need someone like you in every state. so then we can all get good deals!!! lol

 

[tinmann840]

I didn't know the pipes came in black like that . SWEEET !!!

[ALLshow.NOgo]

That is a beoooootiful bike! Get that thing on a dyno :-D btw, why are the cans on the busa blue? is that protective film?
