New bike . . .

[ChaosGS500]

Thats a very good idea, because nobody really needs a Busa, theyre really nice bikes and all, but a 600 sport bike is PLENTY of power enough, and a lot cheaper, and much safer, more forgiving than hittting the throttle on the big busa and doing something crazy, but either way, have fun with the new bike, OR enjoy the 3000$ you just made for playing middle man

Alot easier to get in trouble with a 600 supersport than a busa, at least to me it seemed that way.  The throttle control on the supersports are more twitchy (sp? ).

I was thinking if we were only allowed to drive or ride vechiles (sp?) with enought power to get us around at the speed limit we would all be driving Yugo's.

hehe, going from the slowest sportbike in the Suzuki lineup right up to the fastest.  Be very, very careful man.  That bike is nothing like a GS500.

The 'Busa is not the fastest. The 1K is....   
Just because a bike has the most displacement doesn't make it the fastest

"fastest" is a pretty broad term. 

tight track, big track, straight line from a roll, straight line 1/4 mile, straight line top speed, etc. - the fastest in one, is not neccessarily (and in some cases, no way they could be) the same as the fastest in another.


stop watches in any of these scenarios don't do justice the subjective feel that can only be had by experiencing it yourself.  some people like the top end rush an inline gives, but maybe not like the flatter down low response; some people like the responsive mid range of a v twin or horizontal twin, but not the flatter top; some people like ringing out smaller displaced engines, some people like the lazier feel of the bigger displaced engines. 


these preferences aren't going to be the same for everyone.  at the end of the day, you just gotta get on it, try it and see what you like yourself.  if you end up with what you like (assuming you can handle it), then you found a good match for you.
