Curious...US vs Euro 08 Busa difference?

[TulBusa]

Is there any difference between the 08 US Busa and the Euro Busa? I would think the only thing would be emissions, but wouldn't that affect power especially with aftermarket exhaust and PCIII. Stock for stock what's the difference?

Some counties were detuned to like 100 Hp
I think some of the Euro models had a anti theft chip in the key too.???

France detunes their bikes to 100 HP

Thanks for the replies. So the exhaust and emission are the same?...so if you buy a Busa in London it will be exactly, performance wise, the same as buying a Busa in the States?

The US models have stickered them up with 1340 on the tail section while the UK/Euro models have remained the same 1300.

And yes, mine has an anti-theft chip in the key too

No 1340 on my tail or the bikes
