250cc to a BUSA! that's a huge jump....
I thought I had my hands full when I went from a Katana 1100 to my Busa!
Like PostmanPete said "keep your weight forward" also don't snap on the throttle, you want smooth "roll-on" throttle control, don't worry even normal riding you can find yourself sitting on $2.60 without even trying.... It is a Busa after all!
IMHO I reckon a person should work their way up to a bigger bike! I'm sure many others will agree that the Busa isn't "just a bike".... It's a high performance power-house that will bite very very hard if it isn't treated with the upmost respect.
That said, I don't know your riding experience/style but if you gradually work your way to getting to know your Busa, in about a year or so you should be able to redline it in every gear.... And yes the front wheel WILL come up through all the gears, but that's half the fun!
Stay Upright
