Hi,
I know this is an old topic but....
I purchased my Busa new in 2016. I've installed "Eazi-Grip Pro Tank Pads", "PROGRIP Carbon 5005 Resin Tank Protector Pad", "SW-MOTECH Quick-Lock Side Carriers", Givi Trekker Monokey 46L side cases, and a Nelson-Rigg CL-2015-MG Journey Sport Magnetic Tank Bag. The rest remains stock.
My last trip this past May, I started out an hour south of Traverse City, MI looking out over Lake Michigan, and ended my day just east of Troy, NY in the village of Brunswick, NY. At the end of my trip that day, I was disappointed I didn't have further to ride. Most of the trip I kept the speedometer as close to 90 mph as possible. Just seemed to be the speed the Busa wanted to ride. I'm 58 yrs of age and keep telling myself I need to get a motorcycle with a more vertical riding profile. Then after I return from a day of riding I ask myself why?
Although I have yet to meet another sport touring Busa on the road, it is great knowing I am not the only person who has set up their Hayabusa for distance riding.
