Power dip ?? - Bested - 22-01-2001
Hi all,
Finally I got around to get myself a Busa - got a '99 with less than 10.000 km on the clock. Awesome bike...
As I am riding quite a lot in pretty bad traffic (Singapore) I have noticed a power dip at around 2.800 rpm. Is this a something common ? - or does it mean that I should crank it up :-0 ?
As a mere comment, it should be mentioned that I find the Busa engine very different from the Blackbird (I used to ride in Perth): Where the Blackbird appears a little drowsy below 7.000 rpm and then really picks up, the Busa has a deceivingly smooth power delivery (after 3.000 rpm).
With regards to the earlier discussion about 'enough hp' - that's a little like earning enough money and having enough vacation - it will NEVER happen.
Safe flying,
Bested

Interesting analogy. Yet, there are some people (not many, and not I ) who do believe they earn enough money ...
