I have now had the Busa 10 months. Came back into it 5 years ago after the usual 20 years off, on a second hand CBR 600f. Since then, 3 Triumph Sprints (great bike) inbetween 2 GSX-R 1000's and a 2010 Fireblade just for good measure ! Now I loved the Triumphs for comfort and sound and the 1000's for looks but could have saved myself a small fortune if I had just got back into biking on the CBR and then gone straight for the Hayabusa.
Basically if your ego wants you to own a sports bike but your body wants something more comfortable then this is the bike for you,
Don't get spooked by the 0-60 figures - its as smooth as silk and rides like a 600 once over 20mph. It may not quite have the looks of a Fireblade but they do grow on you and its still up there on the street cred front.
So if you want something a bit more comfortable but not quite ready for a cruiser then this may well be for you.
Stable as you like at speed and power and torque like you would expect but surprisingly without the scary corners ! If you want to tame the power push the button on the bars and your back to about 130 bhp in C mode. B mode more than controlable as power is linear. A mode Well - Yeh thats a bit quick if you forget what your riding lol !
Take a test ride - you won't look back
