Nope, and nope.  CycleWorld--if memory serves me correctly, it was a section all about a bunch of nakeds.  It's our potty reading at work.  :woohoo:

Jan 2008 motorcyclist had the kawabusa II. It was green and had a different tail. The same issue as the B-King article.
March 06 motorcyclist had the kawabusa I as per their references in the kawabusa II article.
Can be cycle world as well ... when did these magazine weenies do anything different.
Cool.

OK I am sorry I made a few errors ... this blue one is the kawabusaII and it was in the Motorcyclist of Jan08.
The kawabusaI was in may 06 motorcyclist not march 06 like I said. I do remember it as being green but I may have a poor memory.
Cool.

Obnoxious indeed, but I think I like it...

The one pictured here was in CycleWorld in May. 
http://www.cycleworld.com/article.asp?section_id=3&article_id=711
It's only mentioned in the article, but it's in the Streetfighter Photo Gallery if you open that up...
The mags always run the same stories about factory bikes, why should customs be any different...  :)

From the article.
QuoteThe gauges/instruments were from an 02 European GSX1400 ( similar to Bandit, but with the addition of a fuel injection light ), and the headlight unit is from an 04 Suzuki Bandit.
