    The ZZR done it for me! ;) I had a test ride on one last year it blew me away! Really comfy, effortless to ride doesn't feel heavy at all! That engine as Art says awesome! And it has real presence on the road it intimidates everything even Exsorcets move a side for this beast :D

    I am a fan of bikes generally. I don't think there is a really bad big bike out there now. They can all have niggles and we all have favourites. I have to say, loved being on the Busa today. That engine is unbelievable.

    I had a brand new Zzr1400 but only for 1800 miles as it was really hard on the back ( unlike the Blade) reason being if you look at the bike side on the seat seems very low and with it being a long bike you must be reaching over all the time .
    This wasn't noted on a trial run mainly because of the wow factor. Power / Brakes and handling all superb .From the looks point of view I bought the Damn thing not really liking it but thought I could change it by adding yoshi cans a seat hump ,racing screen ect ect but every time I opened the garage door I was always disappointed so after a run to the lakes with two stops on the way home due to back being wrecked I got shut and back on a Blade .....instant comfort :D

    I only rode it for 30-45 mins, was a good bike but turning was crap as front tyre was found to be low psi, wanted to turn in early, horrid, just like you say engine etc was stunning, my mate (on here as Stupendus) got it for some touring and quarter mile fun, I have been trying to talk him in a TTS charger for it, you know, turn it into a mans bike ;)

    Hi boys n girls. Done another couple of bits to the Busa. Tail tidy, braided lines, DB screen and just got the wheels back from paint today. I think the gold wheels set it off nicely.

    Does the Gixer though rear end not fit onto those. Ie subframe and seat?

    I'm sure I seen 1 before and it looked really nice.

    It does indeed Colin. Kind of defeats the reason I bought it though. Need to take the Mrs on the back.

    I will. Video generally doesn't do the sound justice though.
