JAI HAYABUSA !!!

The Black & orange combo is the best, followed by the blue & black. White color is just average,on the Busa.

hehe..Jai hayabusa!

I agree, the matt black & orange combo looks aswsome.

the orange and black is the best combo...Manish thanks for the details . And it weighs more than the earlier ones but has more cc's to it..thats a good thing.

Why we are comparing R1 with Busa?Both are from very different league, agree R1 looks better then Busa but the beauti of this Beast lies in her ugly shape and that gives her a mean look(Back off kinda attitude).

Hi guys, this is a 'Busa', who cares what it looks like ? Would you fault Asha Bhosle because she's not a looker ?

This bike has a gem of an engine & a whole industry's developed (Hayabusa Engines are our specialty) around modding them & using them in kit-car projects (www.turbokart.com).

Give the 'busa' it's due, this bike deserves respect...

I also saw a Hayabusa recently, even in normal driving the bike was flying.

awesome ...
this is a colour combination which i am sure has its own share of niche admirers ..
i enjoyed the privilege of riding a 07 earlier this year which was more or less in the same condition (seat plastics and all) and man a busa just blows you off .. it surely got my juices flowing ...

i know there would be this never ending debate on the practicality's side of the busa but as a clever man once said..
' sometimes best things in life dont make sense"..

@luver@cbr-rr's vbmenu_register("postmenu_659164", true); ..well said buddy,im all in love with tht bike as well.
Ok guys went on a ride and drive to lonavla on sat night....only to be accompanied by another 08 busa and some more sbks..i was riding ankus 954....Trust me the new busa looks awesome in the flesh and even better when it zooms by you...putting up pics.sorry for the quality it was pitch dark and i only had my n73.This one was a blue bike with gold mags!!

Thats one of the best colour schemes, especially when you see it in person. Very cool.

black12rr · 28th December 2007, 12:00

@baleno power , super ...need better pics man. How the busa's head light in dark

kau_therock · 29th December 2007, 17:33

well... i agree..why r u cursing the designers?? r superbikes bought coz of their looks??
sheesh people..
and trust me..u have to ride a busa if u have to know it properly..

ArmourOfGod · 30th December 2007, 18:58

Well I feel, why compare the looks? When it come to bikes.......an engine with two wheels and which gets you quickest from 0 - 100 kmph is what it is about, and off course the handling.
