have a turbo k5 (2005 gsxr 1000) already....IF i bought a busa it will be to finally calm down on. i have had stunt bikes, drag bikes, sleeper bikes, now i just want a cruising crotchrocket, even looked at some ducati's but for those prices i will pass, i could easily buy 2 gs's for the price of a new ducati

i mean look at the price of this one....although it is complete CF ITS a 2009 and im sure the reserve is close to 50k

hell for that price i would buy one of these

or what i have always really wanted....a t-rex

only kawasaki powered anything i would EVER drive again

okay, question about our seats... what is the major factor that is contributing to the weight of our seats? could we replace the skeleton with adamantium

bringing this from the dead. Question to the gs430 guys. Has anyone replaced their front bumper with aluminum bumpers? I figure that would reduce some front end weight. And if you ever need some cash in the future, you can just melt and sell the bumper

^^ years ago Hameed started a thread about it. We figured it wasn't worth it unless you track/drag as stated by Jeff.

Wheel, brakes, lighter exhaust, carpet.. Maybe fine a Gs with no sunroof if that's even possible. But overall it's a heavy luxury sports sedan
