I drive a stock Busa...
The times are changing, there are many bikes these days which are just as fast, but I have yet to meet anyone on the road willing to follow me on my favorite roads. Few try, those that do try, find out quickly why the Busa is king. The real world is where the busa has earned its reputation. One on one, hidden from public view, where one rider meets another and gives that knowing downshift.
The Mgr at the local Kawa dealer has already started bragging me how he is going to "take" me. I am ready and willing to go play. Going fast is more than just cracking the throttle and holding on. It takes heart, practice, knowing the limits of your equipment, the course and most importantly your own limits.
Many times I have been witness to guys second guessing themselves in 6th gear full tilt and a gust of wind pushes them to the edge of the road. This is where the busa lives...and generaly blows past everything else.
I say bring it on, power on paper has no place in the real world. The rider that can pass me on my own playground and stay there will need more than brute force. I am looking forward to meeting up with this new bike in the real world.
