I believe the gsxr is a little faster and more of a track bike, but r1's are nice as hell. My choice is the busa. I'm a big guy and need a bigger bike, the busa is perfect for me.

It probabloy depends on what your gettin the bike for I would say...the busa is a better track bike just by they way they ride and everything, but if your lookin to do tricks and stuff but still be really fast I would go with the R-1...its a fun bike.....

It depends on what you want the bike for and everything probably. Busa's are an awesome track bike, but if you want to do all the tricks and everything too I would probably say the R-1 is a better choice. either way thier both really nice Bikes. I know the R-1 is a fun bike, but in my opinion GSX-R's are a lot more comfortable....

this is no contest busa 1300r wins. the r1 is smaller and slightly lighter but still not as fast. I would not suggest it as a first bike if you have never owned one. you would be better off with a 750cc for a starter bike. otherwise it will be a closed casket funeral.

Just to clarify myself, I meant the GSXR 1000. I only referred to the Busa for me. I'm told that the Suzuki's are more track oriented and good for tricks. The R1 is a great bike also so I'm sure it comes down to preference. As for stunts and racing most guys have told me the Busa is NOT a good choice due to it weighing well over 400lbs. Most bike races I've seen on tv are no larger than 650cc. That tells me that is all you'll need to be happy unless your 6'2" and 250lbs like and need a bigger bike. Just my .02.

oh ok. well that makes more sence. the gsxr 1000 has 160hp and 110ft lbs of torch @ 370 lbs total vs. the R1 which is 180hp and 103 ft lbs of torch @ 379 lbs total. In that case I would have to say the R1 would be a better choice. It's just called a gixxer not a busa tho. just a fyi, that's why I was confused. sorry

yea busas are for the speed basicly, i stunt ride with the starboyz during the summer up in akron, get a gsx r if u wanna stunt, or a honda cbr, the CBR's frame is a lot stronger but also weights more, dont get an R1 to do stunts on, most of them now have the exhaust that goes under the seat and when your doing 12 ups or if u loop it there goes your subframe and exhaust
