RE: I went and did it....
Well I picked it up yesterday from Alcoa Good Times.. Good sales Dept.. Tim Lavan is one cool kat... Left the dealership and hopped on the sippi twords west Knox.. Cruises well at 70mph... Seems vary nimble.. cruzing along
I notice that the RPMs are only reading 2700 rpms at 70 mph.. Immediatly I was grinning like a little Devil.. Breakin says no more than 4000rpms for the first 500 miles .. so I chek this out , I twist the throttle a bit, and take it up to 4000rpms.. Guess what, bad idea..
I was now doing a 102mph in less 2.5 seconds.. I about pooed my self cuz of the possibilitys of the strengh and speed of this bike.. Went over to cycle Gear to find a tank bag to fit it.. No luck.. (PETE I'll be in this evening to order those pipes..) So off I went. to the house .. took I-40 to henley st thru town and down Chapman.. The Bike has Great inner city road manners.. Easy to flick around and manuver.. Not to twitchy,but no to lame at low speed.. The bike has excellent readouts and guages.. Suprisingly a little more tuck than I would like but oh well I can deal w/ it.. truly feels like a 10r than a 1400.. Down fall is there is absolutly no storage on this bike.. The head lights are bright on low beam,when switced to High beam Ray Charles could see me comming..
low beam projects a nice shape on the rd.. In the shape of ( no lie) a BAT... So I decided to ceem my bike the BAT MOBILE...
More to come..

RE: I went and did it....
Keep the reviews coming, sounds like your happy so far. I have never liked the busa for the reason it is a tank and handles like one, not to much flicking going on with a busa [:-]
You know we need to see pics so get busy.
