I like the power and speed of the bussa, but not to hip on the looks of it.
I was talking to a mech at a local dealership, he was working on one and said the guy punched it, and the torque of the machine snapped the stock chain in half.

I wasnt sure about your claim, so I looked it up. Damn, your right.

Yeah I like the R-1's they are great bikes to ride. I am just intoxicated with the amount of power the new Suzuki's have(and can get with a couple of bolt ons). I have been riding since I was 6, and I must say these are exciting times.... I think if you like to do any traveling on a bike, but dont want to sacrifice comfort for performence then get your hands on a Bussa. If you really just like to carve it up for weekend blasts then the R-1 would be a better bike for you. I will tell you though on the highway(Roll on) the R-1 will not hang long with a Bussa, or the GSXR1000.
