I agree with Freddy, the busa is real easy to mono cos it has huge and instant power available so you don't have to scream it to 7 grand to loft the front end. I have no problem anytime above 4 grand, even with my 120 kg frame and stock bike, apart from slipons.
However, to keep it up there indefinitely it takes a real master like Balls and often much easier on a lighter and better mono-balancable bike like an R1 or VTR.
I also find that each mono is unique and has a life of its own and not each one is a total success.
The down side with monoing is that it does take a mechanical toll on your machine. After a successful afternoon of monoing I find the chain hanging almost on the ground and then I think about the sprockets, the drive line, the front end, the head stem bearings, wheel bearings and then I slowly start getting depressed... my poor busa baby .... I promise never ever to punish you like that ever again - until the next ride
