I thought they knocked the 'busa on the head with the ugly stick one time too many, halting further production of it?

It's apparently a great shape, aerodynamically, which is why they haven't changed it a lot.
Looks good to me, I'd happily scare myself to death on one.

it's the ugliest bike i've seen for a while - don't see why anyone needs 198bhp on a road bike!

That's probably because you have never ridden one. 'Busa... What a bike. 160mph and it feels like 70 on your SVS. So stable and comfortable, and yet in the right hands (not mine I may add) it can go round bends like a SS600.

I think those on the North/South ride experienced one being ridden by a master craftsman...
