Anyone going? Might be a good opportunity to meet the man and get the Shoei signed!

Would be great if the dealership could also get that '08 Busa in for a look before it goes south for more exhibition. At least to have a sit on. The saying "tell him he's dreaming" comes to mind haha.

I hope it's raining. He is no bloody good when it is dry.

4th in the world champship is no mean feat me thinks especially after most people said he was doing the wrong thing leaving honda for suzuki

He will also be in Sydney on October the 3rd doing the appearance gig at one of the ACTION shops.

Yeh I dropped in saw the kid and said my hello then i decided to scrutinize the new busa even after seeing it in person that ass end is not winning me over BUT after poking and probing it looks like those rear blinker bubbles are a seperate piece as are the front ones and also bits of the side fairings so in saying that the rear end should clean up nicely the lines on the bike are awesome love the way that the tank is no longer a big round bubble as is the rear hump and this might be the same as we get but you never know cause this one on show in OZ is an American model with the MPH Speedo

Would I buy one .... not yet

would i ride one .... hell yeh

then after looking at the B-King well there are a lot of bits there that the street fighter guys can look at purchasing to clean the Busa motor up I like the plastic side engine covers that cover up heaps the B-King does not have a pair valve well this one doesnt anyway so already some saving on weight rip those rear cans off it and chop the rear guard and dump the King thhat would be one hot looking Bike

go and have a look if ya in brissy the bikes go down to Melbourne on Monday Tony is driving them down himself

Notice the speedo also had KPH inset from the MPH? Interesting...

Here is a pic of Chris & Tony with the 08.

The Busa that Springwood has is the tour bike, hence the speedo. It's leaving this week for the Melbourne show. Springwood Suzuki is Oz current top selling dealership, that's why they got to "babysit" it between shows apparently. The only reason I know this is my Bro sells marine paint to Tony for his boat
On a side note, Tony sold my bro a K7 Gixxer 750 today for $14.9 on road. Nice price!
