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

Yeah, the extended arm helps to control the bike and limit wheelies. But on a sticky dragstrip with my tire aired down that bike would **** and get. Best time 8.50's at MIR with a 150lbs jockey. This is on 93octane and it would idle in traffic. Very streetable. Honestly, you guys that like power and muscle cars should be riding these bikes. 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.
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.

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.

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.
