Cool. Sweet machine. How do you manage to keep it under 150 mph? It barely feels like it's moving under a 100!!

We need an Autobahn type highway in America just so we can run something like this to its full potential. You and the Ferrari's can play!

Its very easy to ride however when you change the 3 way position switch from "Rain" to "Sport" the throttle is far more responsive and the front wheel is keen to leave the ground. I am sure many people on this forum have no interest in this type of bike, but as everyone seems to say - Whatever floats your boat

I've watched a few Busa videos on utube, that bike can do some serious stuff. Some track time would be a lot of fun.

Its a 2010 GEN II model for what it is worth. If you give it a bit the speedo looks a bit like the tacho on a HD. But it is not a Harley and I would lose this before my Fatboy.

Sweet bike, I've had a couple of them. Still my favorite bike I've ever had.
Wait untill you start thinking it NEEDS a turbo.

I like 'Busas but the riding position is just too aggressive for me with regards to how far forward and low the bars are - well, that and the insurance premiums would be insane.

Do you live outside the USA? I was under the impression that the USA is not getting any 2010 Suzukis because dealers have so many unsold 2009 models left over.

Live in Australia. And to the guy that said I should not post the bike on this site (he obviously owns the site) the price for a MV here is around $45000 - a Ducati around $35000 and the 'Busa was $18000. Its quicker, a lot more reliable and far cheaper in maintenance. Not a hard decision
