Bad ass 'busa'

here is my latest build. . . a tamiya 1/12 suzuki hayabusa. it has lowered suspension, stretched swing arm, nitrous bottle under the rear cowl and a custom drag exhaust. it took about five months to build, not bad for my first street bike, i normally build race bikes. hope you enjoy my work. . . .

Woooowww!!!
Really cool bike, I like the clean paint scheme, simple but dinamic, the wheels came froma ducati??
The only thing I dont like is the lack of two front brake disks, the bike is heavy and really quik for one disk.

Good job!!!!!

thanks for comments, the wheels are from the suzuki rgv-gamma. the reason i went with just one front brake, is when i was researching the bike i noticed that a lot of the tuner bikes run only one side. i feel it gives a different look, a little cleaner but still aggressive.

Great build, I like the scheme but maybe I should had painted it in other different colours

Maybe they run with only one disk but using one a little bit bigger.. I don't know much about those bikes but they look awesome.

Congratulations for that bike!!

I too have this kit and its a great build.Like the colors..the black stripe is that carbon decal
How did you stretch the swing-arm?Is that styrene?What about chain?

the stripe is carbon fiber, wanted something a little different. the swing arm was stretched by added the rear sections of an r1 swing arm and a lot of molding the parts together time. the chain was stretched by using the stock rear half and the front half of a ducati gp04.

Looks great! I would have gone for a few sponsor logos on the lower cowl, Looks a bit undone in some way...
