OK. I think I got my answers and see if I can summarize.
1. Busa with lower gears, lower weight, and top bolt-ons = best of both worlds for torque and hp
2. Busa with NOS, a BigBore Kit, or Turbo = Outta this world power (big smile) no worries
3. Liter bikes are super fast but lack the lower-end and comfort - are hi-tech AMA super sport toys
4. Can't believe all magazines
5. A 500cc 2 stroke would be fun to ride to the 7-11, but questionable
6. Learn to launch hard at the track
7. Liter bikes are a force to be reckoned with
8. Its more about the rider
9. Busa's just rock
10. And last but not least - Busa's still rock.
Did I learn my lesson?
