    Yeah the first time I ran it through every gear full song until the rev limiter in top made me realize they're not sluggish!

    only due to all bikes now limited to 299km/h top speed, the early ones(1999 models), could do more hence reason busa still has title of fastest mass production bike

    But saying that all you need is a 1500ohm resistor to get around it on a suzuki.

    As Cajun said...only that they're 'restricted' to 300 clicks. They get there much faster though!

    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    You need to slow down, Crasher.
    Something of the Griso or XR1200 would suit your "advanced age" me thinks

    You mean to say you've only just ridden the 08 'Busa... when you wouldn't let me leave your shop last January until I had agreed to take the bike for a testride??
    Bloody awesome bike... the 08 is the only 'Busa I have ridden... loved it!

    I've ridden them a few times...but never out in open spaces where I can ride one as they were designed to be ridden...full song!

    That's the difference!
