SV650 and SV1000 stock ECUs can be remapped so I don't see why a 'busa can't. Be a shame to lose the Akro's though

after riding my mates busa with pc and yoshi cans why would you want 285bhp? the standard thing tears ya friggin arm out

A man after my own heart, I am looking for something a bit crazier than my TL and was tempted by a Busa turbo, but I am afraid that I just dont like the styling enough to get one. However I am very tempted by a Bandit 12 turbo (no arguments about taste please) because it would be f*ck off crazy without the mega speeds (and ugly duckling looks ) of the Busa.

I say go for it, if you can live with the looks!

But be VERY careful with the speeds, you could end up in jail (completely wrongly IMHO)

No, probably not but that dont mean you wont get caught

I have want to like the looks since they came out (1997 ish I think) but it just has not happened, well that is not strictly true, sometimes I see them an think mmmmm, and then I see one from certain angles and my desire dies.

The wired thing is that the TLR has got some of the "ugly" cues from the Busa but manages to hide them better IMHO.

A naked Busa turbo, now you are talking!
