bet the glass set ya back most of that as well! looks good

it will most likely go in a bike like the TDM or the FZ range ( look at any hinted pictures and it looks like the FZ curvey frames )

lol brilliant! congrats on a few pennies

is it worth it on hornets, a mates got a hornet 600 1999 with a 130 front Again, its more for the tyre choice more than anything. the hornets were a bit of a mix and match some had 17" from factory some had 16"

yup same mod as people do with the earlier hornets, from a 16 to 17" wheel.

once again ( for the 100th time ) its my opinion, something everyone has. i could go on and on about why i think its pointless but its a opinion ( how many times do i need to say this before you drop it and stop trying to drag on a argument? )

not one for giving it a rest are you.. i was trying to do the right thing by not causing more of a argument than there has already been....

B-king doesn't feel longer even though it is, might have something to do with the overall weight of the bike/style and feel when your on it.

im not saying i hate it because it didnt suit me, i just dont like them as a whole package. Maybe the new ones have lost what the busa was all about, either way there not a bike for me. I respect that people like them for what they are, there crazy manga inspired styling, big bold and aerodynamic body work, smooth engine, etc etc. What makes one person say *WOW* to a bike doesn't for someone else. One thing jezza, i get the feeling you think i'm lieing about bikes i've ridden/owned because of my age?

I wonder ! : I think its been mentioned a few times on here your love of the busa , I for one have never put down anybodys ride. Have you ever done any distance or even ridden one one , I doubt it. You seem to pop up with these opinions all the time with little evidence and always come along with you've owned something better. maybe thats what gets peoples backs up! i've said it before YES i have ridden one and hated it, its long, its low and it aches like shit to ride one for me ( and in my eyes, the bking is a better bike ), so no i dont like them. I never say i own something better than someone else. if you seriously want a list of bikes i have owned or ridden then feel free to ask.. What i can say is the list goes from 125cc up to 1400cc from all makes.

thats what makes us all different, what we like and dont like in a bike. No point arguing over it as not everyone will agree

by that i meant ALL of the power in all the gears. I guess some times i don't make it very clear what i mean.

i'll say it again. Its just my opinion on high HP bikes. Maybe this is the reason i prefer twins to inline fours as they have lower HP but still have the cracking amount of torque. The whole point of this topic was to post a pic of the new bike, and i was just saying how i liked the way the power is delivered. I find a lot of older bikes have a lot more torque than HP where as the newer ones dont, thats all i was getting at. If you like busa's fair enough, if you like the older style bikes like the XJR's and ZZR's then fair enough.

Its pointless arguing over bikes. We ride what we want, we know what we want out of a bike and thank f**k were not all the same... opinions are opinions, no one is right, no one is wrong. End of!

yes i have... like i said its my opinion, i dont see the point in high powered bikes for road use. Track bike would be a different story. I haven't put down other peoples rides ( apart from jezza's in last post )

first up i said i like a torquey bike not a full out high HP bike, read the posts and you will see. there pointless in the fact you will never use all the power on the road unless your a reckless driving t**t. never said anyones camera is shit, and i never said anything about goldfish being shit and only marine is good ( its a tropical! not marine for a start ) im not trying to show off at all... i thought the whole idea of the "bike pictures" section was to post pictures of um.. BIKES? yes your entitled to your own opinion, so if you think im a asshole so be it.. What is it with you anyway... you have had it in for me pretty much from the start.. i have never said anyones stuff is shit but you seem to think i do... Or is it because i said i hate bandits ( as a opinion )?

Not sure why you'd think that. I've ridden both and put in serious miles with current owners. Both great bikes and both very useable even at legal / sensible speeds. Yes, both total overkill as means of transport, but both huge fun and excellent at what they do. A 10 year old bike is still a lot of fun, but the BMW and Busa are a huge step forward, and the improvements are very noticeable. Not knocking older bikes, I have an 81 and a 99, love them both for what they are, but the new stuff is bloody good and useable. Older sports bikes are more comfy for a start, new ones are too bent forward. I Don't see why 200BHP on a bike is very usable on the road... You can have way more fun on a bike you can use fully than a bike that every time you twist the throttle your thinking *i hope i don't get caught* Yes the new bikes are good but in my eyes its just companies showing off what they can do and competing to get the biggest most powerful bikes. Although the ace and zed both have a lot of power, there at the point of being a lot for the road, but plenty to get you out of trouble. This could easily cause an argument but its all about opinions and that is mine

front wheel off a CBR 600 is supposed to fit straight in and of all the big sports bikes the blade is the cheapest to insure because Insurers think that blade owners tend to be more mature and sensible. Might be, but dont forget chad is 19... his insurance is gunna be a killer for big bikes Yes the front from a 600 does fit but im sure its a thinner wheel?

i know, buy a SV1000!

the front wheel being a 16" limits you to what tyres you can actually get on the blade. Good engine, good handling but will no doubt sting you on insurance

i like the bike for what it is... bmw are overpriced show off bikes. I could buy one tomoz if i wanted one, i could buy a busa, but i hate them, pointless bikes for the road. Anyway, wont be on the ace now for a while.. f****ng shitty builders at work left screws all over the place, need a new tyre now

rofl well if ya got a heart set on a bike, go for it, don't let anyone change ya mind

i'd seriously look at a thundercat. I've had one and they are a cracking bike! still got 100bhp on tap, in a reliable, well proven engine. Parts are dirt cheap, insurance is cheap and for £1500 you can get a cracking example!

give it a week and you will be glad you have changed bikes

its got a slight hole in the headers so might have to buy new headers soon... might even get a full akra on it
