Yeah! Wow!
I didn't bother checking that image out when you first posted the link, steele. Good idea to post the pic. There certainly is something about the look of the Busa that sets it apart from other Suzis. Same with the old waterbus in the 70's. Can't remember the model name, the old watercooled 750, I think it was a 2-stroke 4. Maybe it was just called the GT 750. But for me the Busa look is more special.

Top shot Steele, If you stand on one leg & squint it could almost look like the Gasopaso :laugh:
The Busa is a weird bike, they are fast & that is what they were designed for but they do not look like they should be that quick because they are so bulky & look really overweight. But boy they are fast in a straight line. How do they go around corners? I have only ever heard about how fast they are in a straight line :screwy:

Skins,
There was a Suzuki two-stroke 750 triple called the GT 750 in the seventies. It was "affectionately" known as either the water buffalo or the kettle. Our traffic cops used them in to the early / mid eighties.
Steele,
The 'Busa's looking good. Needs a Ducati logo on it though...
