Ok so the Busa is a bigger bike but are these lbs avoidable in a hyper bike like it is?
Does anyone here know the approx weight breakdown? Strip it down and IMO there is not alot of extra crap from what I can see. The engine alone must weight considerably more than a Gixxer R1000 engine , no?
Where could they possibly shed some weight at without giving up any engine real estate and without comprimising the structure of the bike? The bike has torque everywhere on the power band so it must place quite a bit of stress on the frame.
Lets put it another way...what other 1300CC bikes weighs less? Somehow I dont think a weight reduction is something the Busa can sustain...or at least anything substantial.
