The highly sought after single-sided stance keeps true to the performance theme by running a stock length swingarm and 190 rear tire instead of something oversized and stretched back to Baltimore. The gold goodness that gets the bike rolling comes from Performance Machine, and the ten-spoke patterns look every bit at home here as they would on a true racebike.
But what's a custom ride without a proper exhaust? Another builder that likes to mix performance and bling bits for the total package is Roaring Toyz, and a full system from that firm helps this `Busa announce its intentions with a, well, roar.
Does this `Busa foreshadow the death of the blinged out cruise boat? Probably not just yet, but we're sure this style will influence many builders looking for the next big thing.
