G,day
My first hayabusa 99 copper silver 9000km full yohsi system with yoshi cams ?, and the bar risers michlin rubber. rode to Melbourne from Canberra and back wet ,windy , cold & overcast ,day and night riding ,some comments
1. most usless fairing screen ever devised complete garbage is there an aftermarket one which is larger that you can tuck behind
2. far more comfortable than I figured it would be for touring though leg room is not enough for long trips to cramped
3. a real pig in slow stop start traffic ,though I put it down to the yoshi gear far to fat(fuel rich ) at idle and low revs bogging down requiring handfull of revs and spinning rear to clear at each start from stop real fun on wet greasey roads
4. a real fuel pig average 14.5km ltr for me 19.5 for mates stock 02 busa above mods I assume is the cause
5.several drivers of A) xr8 ute b) clubman sport c) turbo nissan zx 300 d) bmw sport now know not to mess with a bussa or be embarrased top speed of 310 indicated ( at which point the acceleration started to drop off )though I suspect it reads about 10-12 % opptimistic only fun on an otherwise boring hwy
6. very dissapointed in the sorry top end expected it to pull a lot harder
anyway its now going to be stripped down and some good go fast goodies added ,for the salt flats only to easy to loose ones license on a bussa
