I have to go with the hump. I like the solo look.
However due to the awesome second look seat skins I looks good either way becase the rear seat is gold to match the paint.
The only thing I dont like about the hump. When I wear jeans with rivots on the pockets.
They SCRATCH my hump when that beast tries to jump out from under me

I like the HUMP because it stops people wanting to ride on the back. I have scared too many young ladies without realising it.
I must be so used to the top end G forces I don't notice the low end pull anymore.

I like VegasDude's posts here...I tried to post my response last night, but the server was down.
Big thumbs up on the hump. It is part of the 'Busa's aerodynamics. Every curve and hump on that machine has a purpose, that's the beauty of it.
The hump smooths the flow of the air coming off the rider's back, and reduces drag-creating turbulence behind the bike. The kicked-up tail on bikes like the Honda Blackbird are like the tailfins on a late-50's Cadillac; all style, no function, no sense.
The hump contributes to that huge top-end, and a smidge to gas mileage (although not if you are taking advantage of that top-end). Every curve on the Hayabusa has a purpose, including the hump. It's a beautiful thing.

Unless I plan to ride a passenger I ride with the hump. Thumbs up to the hump.

On mounting your cd player in hump. All things are possible. I use a fanny pouch alot. Worn in front mind you. I got tired of tying it down with bungees or wearing it backwards.
I cut a 4-5 diameter hole in bottom "white plastic" of hump, smoothed rough edges where cut, added some tool box shelf padding to interior by running bottom mounting screws through padding. Now I have plenty of extra storage space along with the usual under seat which cannot hold anything to drink.
***** try not to cut closer than 1/2 of the bolt down areas for white base plate *****
..........yes, can goods/beverages can fit in hump now.
I thought of using cut out piece as door with piano hinges but I really only keep pouch in hump so did not go further.
Hope this gives you an idea.

Well, I guess that settles it! I always knew I had a different way of looking at things from most people---I hate that hump---looks like a wart. Besides, trying to lever that thing on the swing arm stand without something to hold on to is a pain. Thanks guys for confirming what I already suspected!
Regarding the music--IF interested in good sound that won't skip like a cd player and is small (size of a pack of smokes), check out the Diamond multimedia systems pmp300. It uses MP3 music files that can be downloaded from your PC. It only weighs 2.4 ounces and costs $199.00.
It is in August Cycle World pg. 89.
Their phome number is 408 325-7000.

I finally got used to "the hump" on the GSXR750, but the Boosa's is even more radical.. functional, yes, good looking!? NO! I like the race solo tail you can get! Think that is the answer..
