The second yellow/black bike with the cap hanging near the back seat is a CBR 929 RR, not a 600.

Oh & the blue one that you called the R1 is actually a YZF 600 (Thundercat).

That modded busa has a delicious lookin custom exhaust. Dont like the color of the bike though but would love to hear the bike scream. Nice pics. Thnx for sharing.

thanks for shareing the pictures eapen. like pointed out before me some of the bikes are not what you have mentioned them to be.
i like the modded busa but like aditya pointed out the colour should have been changed. did you get to talk to the owner. does the bike have nos and what are the other mods done to it.

Nice pics! I came across a Busa for sale,here in Houston. The guy was selling it for $15K! Looked similar to the pic eapen took, and the bike was used only for drag racing.
