Hayabusa or GSXR1000 01-07 probably

I could crack a wise remarks about Hardleys but I wont,

have you considered the Honda Blackbird?
I havnt had the chance to ride either but I have heard mixed reviews of both, but I would pick the Honda over the Busa, but thats just personal preference

I had a blackbird before zx12 and I had destroyed the lower fairing from lack of ground clearance hence the change.I tested busa and zx12 and found the 12 to be half way between busa and litre race so took that.

Ok so before people start, I have no intrest in your opinion if it is to state i need to get a 600cc before i move up to the big boys, i cant afford to switch bikes like that and the 600s i've sat on are small and uncomfortable bar the r6 and i dont really like yammys....

Busa Pro's
1. I sat on it and it just felt soooo comfortable
2. Its big i dont feel stupid sitting on it
3. it can go around corners unlike my harley

GSXR1k
Pro's
1. sat on it felt good, not as good as the busa but pretty good none the less
2. It was big enought that i didn't feel stupid on it.
3. It can go round corners really well.

The query i have is, How good can a busa do corners. I have heard and read plenty of nay sayers saying the busa is really heavy in the corners and doesn't handle all that well.
Is this true? I love the twisties and it would be a massive factor to be considered. I am well aware the busa would never out corner the gsxr but whats it like on nz roads? would it be as good in the twisties then a tiger 800xc or a sv1000?

Hay bud, I have a 1999 busa & I love it, I had an rz250RR & than bought the busa, the best thing would be try this beast first! before you buy anything else, because it has it all, the only thing it does not have is respect! , you! have to respect it! The only time I ever had problems with handling was when I was out of my skill range, it was wet i was in the twisties & trying to keep up with other more expirirenced riders. The busa will do everything you want it to do, twisties, touring, speed records, its just up to how hard you! want to twist the throttle. My old man takes my busa for a squirt almost every week end, but he has a great deal of respect for it as he has seen me on it from a distance lol, to me riding any bike is great, but riding a busa gives you the freedom of tour & sport. Hope this can help? I just love my busa.

The Busa is in my opinion the best road bike Suzuki have ever made.

At the price you have it listed on your website it would have to be...

lol...must be stuck in Harley mode I think.

lol just quietly.. why are you even looking for a busa or gsxr1000 if you can't afford one and can't make even finance repayments if you financed one dreams are free I guess

I asked myself that very question....
Waiting to sell stuff before you purchase can prove futile...

The more i read about it the more it sounds like my kind of machine tbh. I want a bike that i go to work on then take to the hills around chch for some fun after work then boost up and see my folks in the BOP.

I was talking to a bloke at the gym today who reckons he is going to look at GSXR 1000 next, Busa is too cumbersome on NZ roads. I love the Busa too, but I think size would put me off each time.
