Devil and I party time! - storm - 24-12-2012
Got my new busa today.rode it 50kms.fitted with Oxford luggage bags.the party behind boxing day.5k+ kms back home.
Was a bit apprehensive before I rode it as I am used to light gixxers.does not feel heavy on the move.corners well.I am only 75 kgs in full riding gear. Smooth.the gixxers felt quicker I think because they r a bit rabid.have to yet ride the bus a in anger.behaving myself as I don't want to lose my licence before I even start my journey.if u guys spot a candy red busa with no number plates and soft luggage its me.catch up to say GDay! Merry Xmas all!

Hahaha, wait till you've got the nuts to rip that throttle open-it's only gonna buck you off or hook up. Grip those knees tight my friend...

G'day Storm. The Busa is a real Jekyll and Hyde bike.
Well mannered and gentlemanly when ridden as such, BUT, crack that throttle open and the beast emerges. Just remember to give the beast some respect. If not, it can and will bite.

+2 the power comes on real smooth, it is very deceiving. Watch that Speedo, it accelerates faster than it brakes.
