Yeah ive seen this thread the other day, but I didn't relize it was eight lbs :shock:..... too much rollin in at once as far as the wieght issue, once again i'll consider it when the time is right. Maybe i'll just sell a bike and use that money for the other :idea:

The idea is to flow with the bike not manhandle it around! its like drilling a hole...you let the drill do the work!
I know i was refering to the bike not rollin :D. Busa= 530lbs roughly, Me= 138.... it takes a bit to handle I.E. pushin up the driveway, doin the burnout before launch, ect.

Im not saying im a weakling but i would much rather ride my bike up my driveway haha considering its a quarter mile up hill haha...as for the burnout...stand up on the pegs and lean up over the bars and grab a hand full of break and clutch it and your set!

Noob?? What is this xbox live? :lol:, and sry the marine corp wont let me get too skinny. They consider it anorexic, and I want to be able to man handle the bike im riding not the other way around...

He's saying buy his subframe and you will cut 8 lbs. Click the link.
:wink:  :thumb: Cheap shot, I know, but every 100 pounds is worth a tenth of a second.

What is xbox?  :lol:

I know that the weight rule applies to cars but I thought that it would b a more severe change on a bike since the power to weight ratio is alot better, but either way it wouldnt hurt to put that fat ass bike on a diet anyways :lol:, Xbox....the video game system.... IDK I thought everyone knew what that was sry. Everyone says noob on there so thats y I thought it was funny.

:lol: thats a pretty long drive way, I just push sometimes cause its late at night when i bring it back up and dont wanna wake the neighbors, as for the burn out... I dont really have a problem anymore since it's lowered, and I can do it that way but I like to lean it a bit on each side to get them warmed up a lil also :thumb:

My 2006 Busa still has the stock exhaust intact and it is currently 30lbs lighter than stock. The weight loss includes weight that has been added. So actual weight loss is 34lbs.

a stock gen1 2004 with a full tank weighs
254kg./561lbs.ive got a photo of the same scales
at the drags reading 200.5kg with approx 2 gallons of
fuel.it did have a mickey thompson mcr2 on the rear.
the stock rear wheel with a 200 tyre weighs
16.5kg,the dymag with alloy sprocket,ductile iron rotor
and mickey weighs just on 10kg.the front wheel and ceramic rotors
is approx 4.4kg lighter,thats nearly 11kg total off the
rotating mass,that is an absolutely massive change
in how the bike responds,trust me.a guy on a track
busa has got his down to 195kg,or 432lbs.its possible.the reality
of the drags was i had the stock front wheel and rotors with about
4 gallons of fuel in it to keep it down,but on the road keeping it
light makes it effortless to ride.
