March 2008 Rider's Review article

[Scar]

Hey, all...several weeks ago, I posted that the editor of Rider's Review had asked me to write a 'first impression' of the 2008 'busa.

Lots of peeps here had requested a copy, so here, I'm posting it.  It's three pages with a two-page spread as pages one and two, the image in which you've seen many times on this forum (I'm sure).

I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I enjoyed writing it...which, of course, isn't a fraction of a percent as much as I enjoy riding it!!!

All the best,

Scar

1348 cc's ? Typo ?

Yes. Good catch. That thing was combed through numerous times before approved; too bad that didn't get addressed.

you would mention brakes  

   

Nice writeup...

Trust me...it took a lot of consideration for me to post this article knowing how volatile a subject it is...(confidentially, I will tell you...the brakes on my '08 are better than the ones on my '06. Frankly, it's all I have to base my opinion on...).

I am the author, and it's my article

Thanks for the compliment.

Good article!!! And yes the brakes are better then the Gen 1's I have ridden!!! But, still can be improved!!!

Haven't fun with it!!!

Yes, riding other bikes such as a 1k gsxr and an Aprilia have Jaded me!!!! Still the Gen II is an awesome bike!!!
