Because its the first bike i have sat on that i like and feels the right size.

Congrats on grabbing a BUSA!!

Now the only problem will be self discipline. Once I've mastered that I'll be trading my Kat in on a Busa as well. It's just one of those inevitable things, as I reckon every rider should own (or at least get to ride) a bike of the calibre of the Busa in their riding career.

haha.. nothing like seeing a farm ute tractoring out onto your stretch at about 5km/h when your doing ergnja%6$ km/h

plenty of good stretches in kiwi land, between chch n akaroa is patrolled well by the police or at least it used to be when I lived there so I dont really go there if I feel like visiting top gear at WOT

True, if I was young I wouldn't have a bar of a 'busa, I suspect I wouldn't be able to hold back...(hell, even now I would be temped).

The reality is, I can drive a 420+hp vehicle that can light the tyres any time I want 'just like that', do 220kph etc but keep that kinda stuff to the track.

Time'n'place...
