Currently i ride a TLR1000, although i have never ridden a Busa i assume they wouldnt be that far apart ( taking out twin v I4 & i believe the Busa maybe slightly longer and rider position more upright ) but both heavy and not real good at turning into corners, i get passed by pretty much anything down the straight unlike a Busa but i pass a lot of riders through turns 1,3,7,8 & 12. I was at P.I. 3 & 4 of November 2010 i can go around the outside of ( 1 of 3 Busa's there on the day ) turn 12 but as soon as we straighten up for the run down the straight well its not fair i mean its like i'm flying a FA-18 Hornet & have fired a missile bye bye Busa man that sucks !! but by turn 3 i'm on them or passing then, this is why i am asking the above question i agree it does come down to the rider but i would like some feed back from any of you that have done a P.I. track day for your experience. Once i sell my TLR i'm either going to purchase a GSXR750 or a Busa which is something i have always wanted to do after my TLR. Pan what suspension are you running stock /Ohlins raised rear to help with turn in ? Heidi1, Pan & Bikerboy do you have any problems with braking as the bike is 20-30kg heavier than the TLR is this to a limiting factor mechanically as well as maybe your confidence, on that when you blokes go to P.I. what size rear tyre do you use 180/190 number 1, 2 , compound ???
