Motorcyclist 08 busa vs 07 busa

[VinViper]

I love that pic! The front of the new busa looks so much better than the old one.

As with most of the magazines they do not post the articles online as they need you to actually bUY the magazine. But if you o read it check out the side bar technical article on the engine and notice who wrote it !!

Its only my second time being invited to write anything for motorcyclist so of course I am pretty excited about it as an original hayabusa.org member and the list owner of the Hayabusa mailing list owner I hopefully represented us all well.

Check it out !!

I will try to post more now that I have something to talk about. I have been without a Busa for a few years as I have been working on other project bikes. GSXR1000, GSXR600, ZX6r and some others. But now I have a 08 busa that I am building for a mag article so I will likely be posting stuff about it as the parts start showing up for it.

I think I have a rather unique plan for a project bike-Busa that you dont see everyday.

Thanks

Sorry, the magazine owns the rights to my story so I cant really let it all go here for free then nobody would buy the magazine !!

Everyone has their own taste and I may change my mind whenever I actually see an 08 in person, but the pictures still just don't do much for me. I like the color scheme of the blue with gold wheels, but if I was in the market for a new super bike now I think it would be the black GSXR 1K.

Atleast what you are allowed to tell us

(don't worry, we can keep secrets)

Don,

Good job on the side bar. Did you take a look at the changes to the transmission? There is no doubt it shifts much smoother. I was wondering if they backcut 2nd and 6th gear in the 08.
