No problems here with pillions on the Busa. I do carry a very light pillion though. I did put my brother-in-law on the back once. Never again I'm trying to lean into a right hander, he leans left and the bike decides to try and go straight
Bested - I found the Blackbird slightly easier to carry a pillion, probably because the bird gave me less feedback so I didn't notice the difference as much as the busa when carrying a pillion. She said the busa has less legroom, however she prefers the busa. Go figure....
My bird was the carby version. Hated the flatspot however learned to live with it. The busa gives more feedback and so for me is easier to ride hard. As for the looks......
deemester - There is a tiny gap between the tank and chassis where you can peer through and see if the new cct has been fitted. Just look for the oil line running to the cct. It is hard to spot though so if you're not sure what to look for then lift the tank (four bolts).
