So what are the horses names, and how do you keep from mixing them up?

WOW..I can't believe how many people like to through their opinions about how 150 hp is "just rediculious" or "there is no way that bike is streetable". To the guys that are saying that- YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Quit flaming the guy....if he wants to have 150hp congratulate him. Quit talking crap to/at him. Most don't realize that you can have 150-200 hp harley that can be rode everyday ALL day. I'm 30 hp away from 150hp (Just need a cam change) and I ride my bike as much as I can (Just as reliable as stock) without any problems. I just love how everyone thinks they know everything

Yeah I definitely agree with you! Everyone has their unique taste when it comes to motorcycles/cars. Then you get people that think something is "STUPID" if they don't agree with it. Those are the guys that through on an air filter and pipes and think that their harley is the fastest bike on the planet!! LOL

You'll save a lot of money on rubber if your front tire never touches the ground.

These bikes ARE the power with reliability, not V-twins. I like HD's, but I know what to ride to play. Another thing, Busa's setup right are comfortable. Not the hunched over position like on most sportbikes.
Good friend of mine has a 75 Z1 bored out to 1200 that does 9.30 on a 160 tire (with bars). Not bad for an old air cooled bike. We ride it on the street but it's not exactly streetable. Overheats easily.

Never ridden a modern liter bike. Would like to know the feeling.

The modern sportbikes are nice. I bought a Busa because I'm a big guy and didn't want the extreme bent over riding position. I had 1" bar risers on my bike and the backend was lowered a couple inches. Add in a Corbin seat and it was actually a nice riding bike. Not as comfortable as most cruisers, but this is the sportbike world so my Busa felt way better than most. I still say the Busa is the Cadillac of sportbikes. There's even a handlebar conversion for the Busa that drasticly changes improves the riding position. Though IMO it takes away from the look of the bike.

Here's mine before I sold it.

Isn't there a busa forum somewhere? What are you doin hanging around here if all you want to do is talk about your busa? I don't give a sht how fast it is. Don't care anyting about it, your boring.

Given the loss in durability and sheer cost of getting 150HP out of a Harley engine, why not just trade up to a more expensive bike with 150HP (Ducatti?) - it'll have the frame and suspension to handle that much power too.

Default 2,000 mile month

More than enough horsepower and reliable.
Rolled from san jose to so cal 3 times this month from san jose, hot rod runs like a sewing machine rain or shine.
42 hours on the hour meter since turbo install.
