Yeah the white was a more polarising colour. Makes the bike look bigger too.... like a beluga whale.

Well, of course black is very slimming, that's why I wear it a lot... However I didn't think Busa Pete's white one quite looked like a Beluga whale, I thought it was rather fetching myself...

I loved the M109R I rode in white as well. Having said that, of course, your bike is quite the bizniss and looks great!

Picked up new K9 'Busa on Wednesday , just had a beer with it and checked the mileage at only 69 km's, colour is WHITE .

Look out for me, coming up from the south through Kaikoura , Blenheim and thorough to Nelson on Monday for the ' run it in ' scenario . Bike is standard at present but have some Yoshi's ordered then tidy the tail up , install a Pipercross or similar air filter, have it re-mapped and that's it. The Bike speaks for itself so I don't need to 'Bling' it , it's gonna be a sleeper albeit a white one . I'll send a pic through if anyone's interested , cheers

Cheers Toaster, here's a couple of pics . As you can see still standard apart from the tank protector which I think kinda compliments the seat and the black frame . Now 92kms old .......Pipes etc to follow and I'll tidy up that tail ...

The big girls all vibe a little mate , just like your washing machine ...........and every other Bike I guess.

The best 'non vibrators' are the Two Strokers, sadly they're gone ...almost
