Well, even know I don't have mine just yet I got to ride an orange/black 08 for a good while today. I rode it from hwy 215 from the Blue Ridge parkway in NC all the way back down hwy 178 back into SC. I have to say that the bike is just an absolute pleasure to ride! It is very smooth and the power is very manageable. The bike also seems to be really stable going around curves. You pick you line and it goes exactly where you say. Up above 7 grand or so the bike turns into a a rocket ship! Overall I thought the bike was pretty comfortable. Not quite as roomy as the VFR but good none-the-less. I thought the brakes where adequate not quite the bite that VFR seems to give but then again its a heavier bike. Man do I love the sound of that engine! I can't wait to hear it with a set of after market pipes! I really didnt want to give it back when it was all over. Well anyway, I know im preaching to the choir here but I just wanted to through in my two cents!

So far, the majority of the feedback has been great! Few minor problems, but nothing big.
 
I traded my '02 VFR for my '08 busa and I have to say that I have not missed it at all. The VFR was a great bike but this one blows it away!
 
I found the 08 to be well refined. Only thing I had to wrestle with was the amout of throttle on corner exits. 2mm to much throttle will spin the rear.

I installed Galfer steel brake lines on the front along with SBS Sinter Grip pads. I found the front tire easy to lock on these cold days.
