UUHhhhh, I don't know about "take the piss out of the K8", I have ridden both a K8 busa and an 08 R1. the R1 needed to be pushed rev wise to match the effortless velocity that the Busa is capable of. I run my mouth a lot about my Isabella because I ride her like I stole her, but when the metal meets the meat the K8 Busa is just flat freakin' fast. Hey, its all about what floats your boat bud! All bikes are cool!
