OK, everyone especially Earl, I've just reread my posts I haven't said anything negative about the Busa. So....(add your own vulgarity here)!!!!
I did however bash snobby GSX1300 owners.
I come across in a bad tone because I'm so friggin' tired of the GOD mentality of the majority of the people posting here. I can understand the loyalty you have to your own bike but why deny anything else? I come here hoping to see someone with forward thoughts making advances in hp development. But all I see is flaming and snobbing.
Turbo 1300,
There's some major advancement there. That's what I come here looking for. Who makes this 50 horse power air filter? Sell your stock in KnN everybody because it's going under. Hopefully you've done more than just the filter, you better not be claiming that power with a pipe, filter and a map. If so your lack of modification experience is showing. 200hp? Maybe at the crank.
Todd,
Yep seen Dragbike's, seen Rodan (hard-core, I like, a lot), heard of Frank's. That's 3 right?
Gixerbike1,
Hey man, sorry, if I had a Busa or was doing one for someone, I guess I'd have known the exact minute it came out, like you. Been busy with my own 1298.
Earl,
Have you seen "A Night At The Roxbury"? Remember the seen where the brothers dis-ed their dad for about a solid minute? Pusss, Tsss, Ffffft, huhhh, etc., to you Earl.
Stupid movie with funny scenes. 'Member what I said earlier about Pee Wee Herman? Rrriiiiight.
Alabama why not Panama?
VegasDude,
Gawd, what's with the HeHe HarHars. I could easily Pee Wee Herman you right back but I'd be lowering myself to your level. And that's really low.
Jose,
I must admit, I thought you were here to promote your porno sites. I do strongly doubt though that you're a woman. You write with intelligence and about bikes so it could go either way. Anyhow thanks for an unbiased response it's extremely rare and refreshing. You should know though that Vegas Dude wants in your pants no matter what gender you are. HEHE HAR HAR GOOD BUDDY. Thanks again.
To all,
I went to my local multibrand cycle dealer today before work to get a tire mounted. While I was waiting I struck up a conversation with one of the guys who works there. I know him by seeing him but I don't know his name. I'll run into him at a bar here or there and we'll talk bikes. He's familiar with my bike and it's performance. I asked him if they'd had any Busas on their dyno yet and he said yes. First he mocked one of the Busa owners for not running his bike at an Open house they'd had. The reason the guy gave for not running? He needed to change his oil. Then he roared out of the parking lot. What'd he think the difference was? Second story he had was of a guy who put a pipe on his Busa. Said the dyno guy was impressed with the new throttle response and output. When I pressed him for a number he didn't want to guestimate. (At this point I've added more tuning information than the majority of you people) I asked the Busa owner's name so I could hook up with him to compare (race). The employee totally unprompted by me said, "He wouldn't race you, you know who buys those bikes? Dickheads. The guys who have to own the fastest bike each year. They can't use it, they just want to have it." (I swear to God this is all true) Then a second employee who'd been eavesdropping chimed in. He said they've already had to replace the plastic on one of these guys bikes because the owner dropped it at a stop sign. The first thought that popped into my head, "these guys are all alike!" The more the guy I know talked, the more I thought he was actually referring to the guys at this site. I interrupted him to ask if he was and he said he hadn't been here yet. You guys ARE all alike, and you deserve each other. Flame me all you want. You are wasting your energy on it and not advancing because of it.
I'm outta here,
Jamie
