I own both.. And honestly I can't wait untill I sell my 1100, I never want to ride it! Once my busa is dialed in (suspension) I can't think of another bike I would want to ride. The busa is awesome, the more you ride the easier it gets, and the overall power range is unbelieveable.
Sell your 1100 for a busa NOW! you won't regret it! Plus the busa is 10 times more comfortable.

I just sold my '93 gsxr1100 after putting 20K miles on it in two years and bought a 2000 bl/slvr BUSA. I can say for sure that the 1100 is a "sportier" bike to ride. Its more hard edged and therefore better/more precise in the corners. (in my opinion)
The gsxr1100 is not nearly as civilized as the Hayabusa. The 1100 always made my wrists/hands fall asleep from the constant pressure of the forward lean and the buzz of the motor. The seat was so uncomfortable that I had to send it to sargent cycles in Fla. to be rebuilt.
The Hayabusa has very little vibration, great seats, good suspension and it's fast as hell. I thought the 1100 was fast but this bike is CRAZY!
I think of the hayabusa as more of a grown ups toy (Im a 33 year old guy). The harder edged sportbikes (like the gsxr1100,750,600) are for the younger wanna-bees who don't mind the many short comings that a single minded sport machine has to offer.

The Busa basically has a GSXR frame. Peel off the bodywork and gas tank, and you see a monster Gixxer. I never owned a GSXR-1100; my old bike, which I bought new, was an ancient '82 GS1100E. It and the Busa are totally different machines.
But functionally, the difference between a GS1100E, a GSXR-1100, OR a Busa; VS a real track bike I.E. an R6, R1, GSXR-750, or 929RR, is 100+ lbs. of weight. You're talking about over-500 lb. bikes VS. under-400 lb. bikes. I love the big bikes, they are loads of fun on the highway. But if you want a real track bike, you can't hide the weight. It's simple physics.

the busa is muchs better then the gsx1100rw,I owned a ,94 and a ,95 gsx1100rw ,I now go muchs faster true the same corners,and the busa is ofcourse worlds faster and handles muchs better then a gsxr ,but wen you look at the two bikes you think that the gsxr handles better ,believe me its not ,at that time when I was riding with my friend who owns a thunder ace, he weighs only 75 kg,I weight 110 kg at topspeeds were the same ,but now I cane do it in fourth gear ,we are not riding now a days muchs ,how can that be?hehehe!!
take care an buy a busa [when you have the money for it ]

I have been riding bikes for many years and the last time I rode a bike that made me hard was the 1992 GSXR1100. I then bought one!! I have not been impressed with anything that Suzuki has put out since then,I did not and still does not make since why they had such a beutiful bike and stopped R&D after two years production. Then last year I rode the Hayabusa.Actually the first time I rode one was a custormers bike that I had worked on and his freind started talking trash so he wanted me to street race his freind.I did and I came back with a hard on!!! I then waited till 2000 to buy one.This bike is awesome! I could only ask for one more thing alittle less weight and more of a racer oreinted feel and look.Dont get me wrong the bike is beautiful! I just hope i dont end up trading the thing in next year for a redesighned more powereful lighter Hyabusa.
