Should I shouldn't I

[SDsmurf]

Hi there all, hope you can help with a small dilemma I've got.

Traded my 05 blade in for a KTM Superduke at the end of 2007 - shouldn't have listened to my Wife telling me I need a slower bike, oh well.

It handles like a demon, sounds fantastic and is an attention-getter of note, but I'm now well and truly tired of only 115hp, and am looking to trade in again. The list being the new Blade, Busa or B-king.

At the moment I'm not going to get the chance to ride the 2 Suzukis (busa's sold out and no chance on the only b-king I know of) - Has anyone here experience of the blade compared to their busa?

I'm only 6 foot, and fit the blade pretty well but gets a tad wrist-heavy and windy - Is the busa any more comfortable?

Hope this is in the right place!

Performancewise (real world), how do they compare? I hardly do any trackdays (racetracks, no dragracing) but will still do the odd one - How's the busa around a proper track?

and what do you expect us to say, it's a Busa site! The Busa can meet just about any need you want it to meet. There are aftermarket items to make it quite comfortable if stock doesn't work for you. Personally, can't compare to either the Blade or the B-King, but know that it can be ridden confidently in all areas.

By blade I presume you mean a CBR1000. Hayabusa isn't going to turn as well as the CBR but it's going to do better than the B-King. Busa is also a very comfortable bike compared to any liter ride (IMO), especially if your 6' or more. But having never rode a B-King I don't know about the comfort factor there.
If your looking for razor sharp handling with less attention to outright comfort, the 09 Gixxer1000s will be along soon.
Couch smooth sport bike that still handles very well and is sooo fast, 09 Busa will be along soon. My :2cents:.
to the ORG!

Welcome to the mayhem.

The 'busa has been oft-noted as an enormously versatile bike. Can't go wrong with that.
