Zoltan :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 
Yep, It's very much a keeper. Sharp looking bike. Now picture the busa evolving into a sports tourer next year. :dribble:

 
I own a Vstrom, so I know ugly.

It is wild how much opinions differ on motorcycles. I think the 99 through 07 Hayabusa was a sharp looker, but this thing is a work of art. Very sleek and slippery looking. I hear a lot of folks say that the Hayabusa is one ugly duck, go figure. I guess if everyone liked them I would have to wait in a longer line!

I think I will put in an order soon,

Zoltan :assassin:

 
Did not take you long to find that link huh? :)

I'm an admin on a busa forum so any questions please ask away. I have had mine apart and back together many times. There ain't nothing like it. To those who think it is ugly will only see tail lights anyway. :)

Forgot to add that I have a lead for a great price on the 07 or 08 model. Will ship too.

PM if interested.

not too thrilled with the exhuast, but the rest of the bike looks sharp.

 
If chicks did scars and Stroms, TWN's in the drivers seat. You da man Tim....just be easy on them will ya. PM. <>< :D

 
hey they dont' call it the eye'abusa for nothin ;)

actually I think it looks pretty good ;)
