Having 170 hp on tap makes the Busa deceptively easy to stand. Having turfed my first Busa over backwards at 160kph I am a little more conservative recently. Throwing it straight into 2nd once the front is up makes the stand more controllable and if it comes up too far, a touch on the rear brake with the throttle still on gives reasonably secure control. 4th gear has eluded me. Something to do with a strange feeling between my legs and a realisation that being a mere mortal and 200+ on the back wheel don't go together with getting to work the next day.
