Anyone willing to show me how to ride a busa in wa?

[Ward P]

I think it needs to ride differently than other 600 and 1000 bike. Busa is much heavier and take longer time to lean etc.

I was told I can't dive in the corner like 600. Have to set urself up the corner way before corner and power out.

this statement is so wrong ,well to me it is,


must have confidence in your bike etc, like tyre pressure 34 psi ,this little tip for psi was given to me by Tex , aalso check the tryes themselves if you have cheap tyres you wont feel safe.

That's what I was told. So u could be right.
Not rushing at all. Have my busa for a year and never revv to limit.

Yes I am only 27.

Had it for a year Lots of 'busas don't make it past their 1st year without a major mishap. you gotta try out that top rev limit - at least once - just don't get caught

Just enjoy your 'busa. The 'busa has a reputation for being big and brutal. This reputation is pretty much from people who don't ride them. It isn't a race track bike, but on the road it is very well behaved and will corner as good as ANY sports bike. Especially if you get mid corner bumps, or rough surfaces. Ride it exactly like your 600, it will drop in just as fast, you may need to just slam that inside bar a little harder in the really tight stuff, and the speedo will climb heaps faster -( keep an eye on it - it will accelerate faster than it will brake.) Anything over a 60kmph signed corner and the 'busa can't be beat, it's on rails. - provided you're disciplined with the basics ie. don't grip the bars, slow constant acceleration blah blah.

I occasionally drop my tyre pressures, BUT ONLY if I'm really hooning, but unless you can feel your tyres drifting and on the edge, and you have your tyres really hot, all dropping the pressures on the road will do is reduce tyre life, make the bike feel heavy and slow down the steering. Have a play if you like, but "recommended pressures" will give you the best results.

I've had my 'busa coming up 14 years in Feb. It gets ridden like a 'busa should, originally to my limits and now to it's limits, It bounces off the rev limiter, it has scrapes up the fairings and on the engine cases, it destroys knee sliders and has worn away the hero pegs, it gets absolutely flogged and just keeps coming back for more. It doesn't have oggy knogs or crash bars because I don't intend to ever put myself in the position where I may need them. It took me the first 8 years of learning it to find it's limits without throwing it down the road. It's never been on it's side, not even on the grass. And it still puts a huge grin on my face everytime I ride it.

They are an awesome toy, but don't ride it like you stole it, ride it like you're gonna keep it for life. Corner Speed will come, and one day you'll realise that you've got it pinned and looking for more, but don't rush it, they're a big pussycat, but they have a mean bite. But most of all, just enjoy riding it!
