My 2 cents worth...
Having a brother with a k8 gixxer thousand and me having the k9 busa (well...used to have...) I can tell you from EXPERIENCE that the busa accelerates harder than the gixxer, will beat a gixxer in just about any real life riding...however you get to the twisty stuff, the gixxer feels alot more agile, easy to throw around, and that is where that bike really shines, and I believe on a tight track the gixxer should get away from the busa...
Both are great bikes, so I don't know what the argument is really about. Should be happy to have any of them parked in your garage...
