One thing motojournalists never talk about (probably because they simply don't know) is how darn good a massaged Busa is re: handling....compared to all the 14's. Yes the 14's monster motor is awesome BUT it is largely irrevelant in environments other than straight lines. I would love to cruise the twisties with a few of the big fellas, 100 extra pounds just doesn't get it when you are southbound and need to be westbound right now! I've had plenty of Kawi's and loved them all but there is way more to performance than pure forward accelleration. Imagine a lightened and dialed in GenI Busa with a 1400cc kit, 200 reliable hp at your fingertips and 480 pounds. I don't know, I guess my bias is coming out.
