Rapid Street Rode the 2008 'Busa plus the B King

[Rapid Bikes]

Hi guys - Heather and I just did a combined 3500km on the K8 'Busa plus the B King including a day at Nurbergring! Verdict? The 'Busa is fantastic on the road - better than expected and based on my impressions from the Road America ride I had a month back. Rode it all over Germany/Alps/etc. Awesome bike.
B King was great - did a three day ride on it.
Jeff.

Hey Jeff,
When is the November issue on stands?????

[BUSGO]

Looks like you had a ball Jeff.
Now you know what a busa is really for mate.
I'm looking forward to the write up.

You can narrow your post by editing it and putting a return between each photo Jeff.

I might be a bit biased, I always get it. But Jeff has his ride review on the 08 from Road America. And mentions the tour they did in Europe, but more for next issue I think.
I think it's always a good read personally. For me, it's the stuff I want to read about. I usually only manage one or two articles in 2wheels, ARR, etc.
Rapid I can read front to back.
To each their own though.

for some obviously incorrect reason i always thought Rapid was a pom job.

shall check it out next issue, had a gutful of road america stuff haha.

like the Yoshi cans with dual exhaust.

more I look at the new 08 model the more the back end makes sense. I reckon the 08 looks better than previous models. I love the pipe what brand is that? and is that a black Ferrari next to you at the toll Nice!

[BUSGO]

Gee don't they have lovely big number plates!!!

Who needs a mudflap?

looks to me like a honda s2000 but I could be wrong... (yeah i know "probably" would be more siutable)

I'll definatly have to grab a copy i'm looking forward to reading about that trip around europe

But Suzuki showcased some really nice extra parts with a bounty of carbon replacements and this out-there decal kit.

But the real focus point is the pipes, and these Yoshimuraâ€s can be tailored to your choice – if you want the naked pipe look you can have it, or if youâ€re a fan of the mammoth plastic pipe covers, these pipes can be housed in them too.

Suzuki Hayabusa
A pair of Yoshimura dual-oval II pipes certainly do something for the new Hayabusa, and some really nice little carbon touches like these air-intakes do look quite special

I did the same, and you are right about the S2000, but have another look at the top of the pic at the other toll.
