Actually, I've been told by a dealer that they are in the sportcruiser/sport touring bike.

 

sportcruiser thats the word I was looking for ..

 

its just wording, so yea you could call it a sport cruiser, but dealership terminology a sport cruiser would be like a maurader, busa is technically a big katana which makes it a sport tourer, and an excellent one at that

 

Exactly.

 

lol a big, powerfull, watercooled, katana with massive brakes and comfortable seating, that just happens to hold the title of fastest bike lol.

 

fastest bike?

what are you talking about? off the showroom floor?

notttttttt aaaaaaaaaanymore

 

the 99/00 models should still hold the record since everything is restricted to 186 now, its definetly not the absolute quickest bike you can buy brand new although its still up there, but should hold the record for fastest stock bike forever, or atleast until they lift the top speed restriction which i don't see happening

 

I guess for some reason I assumed he was talking about in the 1/4, and not top speed...

What was the ZX14R running in the 1/4 on that video? 9.17 IIRC?

 

i can't remember but it was moving... its probably faster in the quarter, the 14 that is, but its still not fast enough to out run its own uglyness

 

I guess I'm one of the few people who thinks the Busa and the 14R are both ugly as hell... I don't think anyone in the world needs a bike that powerful, or that huge.. and I think the more power they make, the uglier they're going to be.
