lol. Yeah yeah yeah. Thats how it's Advertised blah blah blah. That's why most people think it's a sport bike. But the truth is the Busa is in the GSX line. The GSX as such for the Katana. My mistake, they added a prefix and adjusted the name. I was wrong. lol Its a sport. Sport touring Classification though. But its a common mistake. Ask any Factory Certified Trained Technician. And the only way to become a F.A.S.T. technician is to go through the only training facility at M.M.I. ( Motorcycle Mechnics Institute) Orlando, Florida / Phoenix Arizona. M.M.I. Being a Sub. Of UTI. Let me Scrounge up some Information concerning the Classification of the catigories and i'll try and get them to you. Anyhow its just a title.

Even the GSX line are considered sport bikes. Granted they are not the "fastest". The GSXRs are more race oriented then the standard GSXs. For example

Your logic is working like this a camaro ss is just a fast grocery getter but the standard V-8 powered camaro is a sports car.

It was my Mistake. I messed it up lol. Like usuall, I should leave the posting to K.C. But Yes you are right with The GSX being considered somewhat Sport bikes. Thats what Suzuki considers the standardized GSX-R. The Katana doesnt fall under the Standardized, Should be under the "Failure" Catg.. And the Gsx-1300-r falls under Sport Touring.

Here's an easy way to handle this: Don't buy a Suzuki. Try a nice Honda.

Actually, as a side note, Sport Rider magazine just did their shootout of the 1k bikes and it went:

Suzuki GSX-R1000
Yamaha R1
Kawasaki ZX-10R
Honda CBR1000RR

Yes, the Honda came in last. Kawasaki beat it out based on horsepower.
