    I'm told the RC45 is out of the crate and never cranked beyond the factory. The guy at FM said they were looking for $60K. The NR is probably close to twice that.

    "A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

    Why is everyone a busa hater? Just curious.

    I'm sure if u guys were a 300 plus pound sportbike rider you'd like a busa or zx14.

    I mean I bet 90% of busa haters have never even ridden one. Or had the chance to, but were scared to and blames it on their "hate" for the bike.

    What I like most about this bike, is that although there is an overstated "bling" about it that can stand to be toned down a bit, it still looks to be a reasonable performer. It doesn't look like a purpose built drag-bike with a +2ft stretch, or boulevard Queen, with skulls and fire and brimstone in every detail. It loooks like what it is... a custom 'Busa.

    The trickery and "effects" within the bike design are eye catching, and the performance bolts-ons are anything but abnormal. So yeah... while there are certainly things I would change slightly, I think it's pretty well done. I like the way the paint and graphics "slims" the bike, compared to most 'Busas I've seen. My .02.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Methinks Mr. Salsa is not a fan of the way it looks, more than anything.

    I know it can perform. While I've never owned one, I've ridden them. I've also owned a 1100XX and a ZX-14 so I know a bit about hyperbikes. There's no doubt these bikes can do the ton times two.

    It's still ugly

    But what the hell do I know, I ride a multistrada?!

    Lmao. I agree stock busas AND multistradas are ugly.

    But, I love busas with the GP style ass. I just think this particular busa is any thing but ugly. Salsa, did u like your zx14?

    As Jenny put it, the Strada is Pug Ugly... Owners love 'em, but that's about it...

    As for the ZX-14. I regretted buying that bike within two weeks of doing the deal. I traded my Sprint St for it and longed to get it back. The bike was a big fat pig that love to go right from 0 to ludicrous speed before you knew it. However, it didn't do anything else well...

    And, to make it worse, I ripped off the stock pipes and put on M4 drags! It was absurd.

    Here's a pic:



    The Sprint was such a better bike (for me)... But that's the cool thing about motorcycles. There's something out there for everyone.
