Mmmmm. Not sure, but it could just be that Suzuki will replace the 'Busa in the near future as it's getting on now and with Kwaka's new ZX14 coming out they may want to up the ante, so to speak. Heard that even the GSX-R 750 can hit 300k on the right track, now.

Having said that, sub 20k is a good price and they are still a blast. And yes the brakes were the weak point, but only if you were really caning it and as said a new set of pads works well.

Paper work bloody paperwork while I am itching to get out and ride this thing. Last minute advice and handshakes and Im off..Into Auckland peak hour traffic and onto the Southern motorway on friday before Waitangi weekend..Oh Groan what a mess and I cant ride this thing very well and lanesplitting becomes absolute sheer terror..! First impression is at the low speeds its tough on the arms and wrists and by market road I'm done and my legs are getting blasted by hot air (good for winter). Fuck no brakes jees my 400 stops better, mate I just dusted 20 grand and nearly plastered it all over the back of a car..! Back on the peninsula in more familiar territory and speed above 80Ks and its feeling a lot better the brakes have settled and are just fine and after ol Bandit this thing goes where you point it and doesn't feel like a big bike at all. It soaks up the rough stuff, feels very "planted" in corners and there is a definate impression that there is 1300cc under there somewhere. I'm gonna like this bike a lot in fact Im stoked by it. I can now Identify with John last weekend around Coro on his new bandit feeling a bit disconnected on the new bike. Mum and kids are out there now Ooohing and Aaahing over the styling and eldest daughter has had a ride (on the back) and is grinning from ear to ear. After 8 years on me ol bandit I'm certainly gonna find it different..Smiles all round in our rumah tonight.
See ya out and about..

Oh thanks Steve, thanks Goblin, thanks Qkchk..

That bike has been there for ages now, seems no one wants a ZX12R...........

Welcome to the Busa club terbang

Nice one Bruce good color now Im gonna have to get me a ZX12 or that Speed Triple Ive been agonizing about for the last 2 months

From one Bluey to another welcome in.
Re brakes - 9 times out of 10 it is the deceptive speed you are doing that makes the brakes feel weak.

**Marmoot** · 3rd February 2006, 22:18

COngrats, Terbang.

I, on the other hand, had a look at one and is still in deep contemplation on whether to swap my SP1 in with a blue/silver HayBus.

Still unsure whether I would enjoy it as much as the SP1........any opinion on HayBus performance in deep SH22?

**Qman** · 10th February 2006, 22:04

Congrats man. I looked at a blue/silver one today still in the box in Hamilton. Very nice. Apparantly the ones they have now are the only ones they are getting this year, might have to go lay down some cash
