Tonik Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 He is going to go a buck fifty on the straights, brake like crazy and do Harley speeds through the corner. That is not the Doc we know and love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NinjaDoc Posted July 9, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Hello to all the guys and snot Long time no see, I did not make a guess bike thread but still tonic manages to skewer me some how haha. Quite obvious from the age of this thread busa has been a life long dream of mine. Something weird about Indians overall I guess, we like MJ, hayabusa and Arnold ‘sausenager’ , from very young age always liked the busa and finally pulled the trigger to get one once it came packed with safety net electronics. stylistically, statistically, economically, common sense wise this bike doesn’t make any sense at all for me and my type of riding. But May be exactly the antidote I need to behave as I don’t like straight line speed and enjoy faster cornering. Busa is build opposite to that. But I look at it as a lesser weight gold wing for my size, hefty long low plush suspension wind protection, low rpm highway mile munching, less comfortable but can be tweaked and not as horrible as a cruiser in handling. The weird irony of this is buying one fo the most powerful heavy bike to go slow is hard to explain, esp to ones wife. Don’t know I been seeing a lot of 🤦🏽♂️ When I talk about it lately haha this bike I will be keeping for long time since I bought new, full msrp and fluff fees and what not always bought gently used bikes and sold without much financial hit, this one I have to keep it… good thing I am loving it so far. @durk it was not me there, wish I could have made it to say hi to you. Next week if opportunities arise I might try to swing by dragon area and meet @Blitz @2talltim just have to get this bike to turn enough to get there in one piece 🤣 hopefully get to meet you all some day some where. May be in august I am trying to see if I can swing by Ohio one weekend for a ride. My be we can do an epic ride with all 15 or so remaining active members quintessential pictures. You guys know I love to take pictures and share. Edited July 9, 2021 by NinjaDoc 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Riding Those bikes is like have two evil dark angels on both shoulders, no one is advising to slow down. Such a hoot but dangerous.

Still don’t know why I went with this piggy Expand Wait! Do you have three bikes now or did one go towards the Busa? (Please don't let it be the XR, I really want a new one) I have had a Busa and understand you wanting one kinda but kinda not. Mine was a 2005, the bike fit me better than any bike I had ever ridden, I put the most miles on it in the shortest period of time than with any bike I've ever owned, 15,000 miles in 16 months. It was a fantastic bike for riding on the street, I did my first three track days on it, totaled it on the third trackday. What a fun capable bike that does the backroads better than expected. What I don't get other than your cultural issue is the ZX14 gave you everything the Busa has. PS. Watching you ride the XR in your posted videos I'm impressed with how well you handle that thing.

Expand Both the 890 and XR are listed for sale, the 890 is among all the bikes I owned the one I loved the most. I would venture to say the best one for corner carving ever. Been getting quite some query on that I haven’t responded promptly cause I don’t want to sell haha the XR is still new, it’s a 2020 looks new as I take care of them really well, with almost all bmw options and packages and factory warranty left with nice upgrades fresh tires fresh service and will also get all recalls which includes new brembo calipers and fluid flush before sale. Asking 18.5 looking to score around 18, but for You i can do even lower, pm me punk we can talk. https://m39t6.app.goo.gl/K8brC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricer1 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Doc, that is s great looking bike! I'm with ToniK on your statement about "This bike I will be keeping for long time".
