i have been riding for five years now, i just got my busa home today. and what can say i took it out and wow, i mean the second i got on one it was like the bike was made for me it just felt so right. i knew how powerfull they were, god i have even been riding round on a GSX1200r and a Fireblade1200 for the last three years, my friend baught this busa a month ago, rode it home from the dealers, and was too scared to ride it again. WOW i love this bike, best bike ever, and sexy too
