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. . . .

Re: Bad ass 'busa'

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!!!!!

Re: Bad ass 'busa'

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.

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!!

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...
