Duuuuhhhhh....

Actually if you read the whole post ..................... it's not the case ........................ the bike won't shift down into first, he just wrote it up wrong and then copped a fair flogging for doing so.

Yeah...he didn't explain that until the second page...

Anyway, he still shouldn't be riding a Busa as his first bike, IMO.

The yank boards are full of dickheads with a Busa as a first bike.

All the yanks rally around them with statements like "take it easy", "don't open the throttle too much", and one of my personal favourites: "I have driven a powerful car, so I will be OK"

There is always a sticky thread from a sensible bloke saying "the Busa is NOT a good first bike" - but that is regularly ignored.

And if you have the temerity to come up and voice your opinion.....

It is all about freedom, don't you know!

I like Americans (and the USA- a great place to visit), but they do make me laugh from time to time...
