Hi TheZman,
Its a pity PJ isn't around atm he could tell you all about the switch to a Busa.
I had 5 of them so they are very addictive.
Coming from what you're used to the things to watch are:
Clutch and throttle control needs to be very precise in pulling away from standstill and in slow speed tight turns.
Top speed in 1st gear is well over 70mph but it kicks very hard, its not a tall gear.
You may find yourself turning the bike into bends initially a long way before the bend. Its a physically big bike but it turns quick.
Get used to short shifting because you don't need to use that many revs on this.
In the wet or on greasy road conditions, just be ultra careful of tyre grip? Same with new rubber take it very easy to start with.
Example is when I was following a mate on his unrestricted gen 1 and he is FAST. I was on my my Busa and winding the throttle in a bit too hard
on a damp, level and straight road leaving town. The power is such that the rear wheel is spinning up and coming around to the side, I over reacted and snapped the
throttle shut like a rookie, the rear tyre gripped and it nearly spat me off ! Almost high sided going in a straight line !
Without hesitation I was back on the gas and trying to regain ground on my mate ahead, an impossible task.
Meanwhile another mate behind me on his Honda Blackbird nearly crashed his bike laughing so hard at my antics wrestling with the Busa.
You will have many adventures on these bikes I do know that.
It eats tyres fast. You can go out for a ride out for the day and get back home to see bare metal on the centre of the rear tyre.
I always wore out one rear to two front tyres and got about 2000 miles out of a rear or I could get it down to 1000 miles out of a rear tyre.
So find a good local tyre bay.
I got plenty of anti from people who don't ride Busa's and never will do. They are irrelevant.
Its a big, ugly, loud and obnoxious bike, it gets in deadheads faces and that's why I love em.
Don't whack the throttle........ squeeze it OK
Bragging rights? It does 80 in 1st gear. End.
