Hmmm, really not convinced I like it.  Actually, I don't. Its not pretty.

And all that capacity, yet speedo still only goes to 170mph, which is disappointing - I can't imagine it has esp short gears, as its a cruiser.  But speed isn't everything, and I've never had more than 145 from my (restricted, it turns out) ZX10 - the bike can give more, but I don't want more.

£6k is way more than I'd ever spend on a bike, so £16k is defo out.  In fact, I don't think I've even ever spend £2k on a bike ;D.  But then, I don't buy badges.

It reminds me a little of the six cylinder Gold Wing. I think they were 1800 c.c but were more about torque than outright power (BHP)... :y

to be fair, what the bike is designed for, it does a very good job.

It could sit at outside lane speeds alllll day long, and with that massive screen it was nice place to sit.

How about this Mr Tunnie and Mr TB?

The rider seems unwilling or unable to give the Busa full throttle whilst the front wheel is four feet off the ground (between about 70 MPH and 140 MPH). he only really nails it when both wheels are on the ground again. What a girlie... ::) ::) ::) ;)

Im with you on that, def doesnt look or sound like 220mph!
ive had just about 180mph (private track..) and things come up a bit quicker then that!
miss my blackbird but i dont have the self control. will one day rebuild my v-max which is a nice cruiser for me.
