Alright alright, I concede defeat, if you think the 'Busa looks so damn sexy go buy one!
Everybody should own the bike that makes them happy, I just felt like I had to take a stand for my corner… you know, the Honda-lovin’ people of the world and all that jazz ^^
Dont get me wrong - Its not without its charm, like the wall flower (ugly girl at the end of a nights drinking). Not the best ride but tries real hard? :D:D:D
So the bike went yesterday and now I’m bikeless for the first time in 10 years.
ive had a busa inc a turbo and one zx12, hounestly can say the zx12 was my fav, easy to chuck about and felt a lot smaller and lighter then the busa to ride but each to there own and all that
I think the term you are looking for to describe a big lad on a small bike is “like a monkey fuccin a football” I was told that is what I looked like when I had my MZ:D
This can go round and round in circles until the end of time. Unless you get offered a hell of a deal that would be criminal to turn down, I reckon you should ride both and make your own judgement. They’re both superb bikes. There’s actually one of each parked in my garage, as my mate who lives up the road keeps his Busa here.
I have had my 12R for 3 years now and I have never regretted buying it and thought “Oh my god, I should’ve gone for the Busa.” Then again, I reckon if I had bought the Busa, I think I would be equally free from regret.
The Busa is an easier bike to tune to SILLY spec, but the 12R handles better.
Good luck in your quest. I hope to see your hyper-bike parked up the Ace on a Friday night in the near future!!
True enough … you can sharpen up both bikes’ handling with the right alterations. However, with similar mods to both, the 12R will still be the sharper handling bike.
That one looks good. I’m looking for one too, have two bikes to sell to make space in the garage but the space is Busa shaped. After riding Grim’s it was only a matter of time
