dragknee66 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Did a tune up on a Busa today and took it for a spin afterwards. I must say.. I wasnt impressed at all. I have no idea why everyone makes them out to be so much. It was rather comfy Ill give it that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 What do people make them out to be???? It's not a track bike or anything, just another touring bike! Since you weren't impressed, what exactly were you expecting from it? graemlins/wtf.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I was expecting it to be fast? It was quite heavy too, but thats to be expected Just pushing it around in the garage felt like a workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 They don't feel fast because the torque band is so broad. The liter bikes are very peaky and seem to have a boost about mid rpm's. The Busa's just pull from the get go until redline. That's why a lot of people wreck them because they don't realize how fast they are really going.

Guest Crucial Conflict Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 The Cadilac of sport bikes.. MSP's line of busa's for sale and the shit they have in the shop opened my eyes to the 1300-unlimited world. It's not all about chrome, stretched down the block w/200 tire, and one rotor on the front to show shoe purdy spinners as you see on the streets of C-bus.

KennyFKINPowerz Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 We have always raced Busa's. Yeah the liter bikes are fast and can be made real fast but you show me a liter bike in stock condition with a dry shot of nitrous running 8.70's and I will be impressed. We have done so much to Busa's and the amount of go fast stuff that is available is insane. I will swear to it that the fastest bikes around are Busa's. You go to a Prostar race and all the fast stuff and all the grudge bikes are Busa's. We have several very fast Busa's that we have done.

Putty Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Busa are heavy, slow, and not too attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakk0r1647545492 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Dragging a sport bike for anything other than mild amusement is like running a top fuel car at the auto cross... Sure its fun and amusing, but its just not what its built to do.. Bikes that turn > bikes that dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTHER91 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I dont see anyone on here posting kill stories about beating a busa. Dragknee or Crash?!? Its true they are heavy, and dont turn as well but you both ride track bread bikes. Apples VS oranges, just cuz they both have 2 wheels dosnt mean they're the same.

Got-Boost? Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Originally posted by David Putty: Busa are heavy, slow, and not too attractive. Compared to what? It is seven year old technology people....7! Just because you beat some rookie on one doesn't mean they are all slow. graemlins/nonono.gif When was the last time you have heard about a liter bike break 250+mph???? If it's functional, I don't care what it looks like. That means it proven and works! graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
