i have never liked the looks of the busa. the front is just ugly IMO. It is fast and there are a boat load of mods for it. But I would take the ZX-12R.

Check out the Hayabusa X1 (google it)

It looks much nicer than the vanilla Hayabusa!

I don't like the shape of the normal Busa either, but the X1 version is sex on wheels! (it has different fairings)

I shall post a few pictures of the X1 Busa over the weekend as I recently built a Tamiya model so keep an eye for a post from me in the scale models section. I didn't do the best job of painting it, alas, but building and painting models is not soemthing I have much experience of!

I have always thought those bikes looked too heavy and bulbous. They are also getting very long in the tooth (ie; dated styling) and in dire need of a redesign.
