Even one with a titanium frame $7300 Add a couple of corners and the busa is out of it. To low, too heavy and too long. And why the fuck do you need a titanium frame? 1 Quote Link to comment

RatVonDude Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Drag race it and win another 20 g. From what I'm told the busa kinda suck at twisties. Ducati is probably a little more fun to ride, both are ugly, but the buss is soo ugly its beautiful. I do want one cuz I'm tall. Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 The duc 999r is a poor example to compare to, one of the most expensive ducatis made. And like rvd said, go fast in a straight line and hope to god you don't come across a corner. Quote Link to comment
