Greetings from Steve in south oz, near Kadina at the top of Yorke Peninsula will do, where the roads are mostly flat and straight with the odd kangaroo ready to jump out of the roadside verge to surprise you.
Been lurking on this forum for a while now, got my Busa in May 2011, a 2000 model and yes it's the go fast red colour...
I suspect some of you may disagree with that last part.
Have added a double bubble screen, new chain and sprockets and replaced the rear Michelin Pilot II.
Great bike for dirt roads, don't think I've seen that mentioned here yet, or aren't we supposed to get them dirty?

Cheers guys.
Guess I really should have said "well formed, solid and DRY dirt roads".
Think the (bikes) weight helps, steering damper doesn't hurt either
Merry Christmas one and all.

Welcome to the club Steve. It is a pitty about the straightness of the roads around there.
You would have to do a quick trip through Pasky to Kulpara for a quick loop of the Hummocks
Isn't it Ironic that my Favourite Stretch of Tarmac is called C.O.P.

Hi Steve, My hometown is Adelaide and am arranging a transport service to get my 99 red/black there and back in March.( Yeh I know. bloody pussy). Ive been in Perth some ten years.
Anyways, got lost with a few riders and ended up doing abot fifty k on a hilly, pebbled, dirt mining road. Ended up in Dwellingup. Could not believe how the busa handled this shit. I was comfortable scooting along at 100 k standing on the footpegs in most parts.
Well, the Busa is a tourer as Suzuki claims, and that means all roads within reason.
Oh yeah, the busa was the leader!
