BASTAGE!!!!!!!

I see no piccy's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought you were getting the 'Busa???

dragracer1951 · Post by **dragracer1951** » Sat May 20, 2006 7:57 pm

I....(hangs his head in shame...) have no pics yet. It's still in the crate. I pick it up Tues at 3:00
I was torn between the Busa, the Tuono and the R1. I thought , if I get an R1, it'll have to be a 50th ...went to check on prices, they just got this one in yesterday afternoon. Not even out of the crate...
I called Dave at Moto I in Seattle, they had a black Tuono, I was going to go ride it Tuesday.
Anyway, I think I'll be delighted with either.

Congrats, Jim! I rode an 05 a couple months back. It felt like I was telepathically linked to the bike. Best thing I've ever ridden. And of course we all know the yellow one is the fastest. :cool

You know...Darcy just bought a Blue one a couple months ago and I told him it was a good thing that he bought the faster Blue one...
That worked out pretty well I'd say

I rode his up the road right after he got it and got into it a little on the on ramp. Got it into 2nd at about a buck while hazing the tire.

This taken from the Yamaha site...
The much faster yellow and black one

And...Slip... I think I'll whip up a set of swing arm extensions for the FZR now that I think I'll save it for the strip.
I'd go on ahead and take it to track days but my attention span ain't good for more than about 9 sec.
9.847 to be more precise....

Nice one Jim, I know someone who has on and has replaced the end cans with a four outlet system. Looks wicked. Enjoy
