Considering a busa

[marktammy]

sutur, Well done mate. Got my new k9 Friday before xmas. Had a YZF1000r, not a bad bike but as you stated the Busa sure has the goods.

Same situation as me. Did you find the most noticeable difference was the topheavy cornering? Next time I'll be more gentle, it really drops down quick - and holds the corner like a train! Might need suspension adjustment, I find most bikes need the rear hardened (less sloppy cornering) and the front softened a touch.

Anyone around 6ft + 70kg know their settings? :)

6ft and 70kg?? I think that was my stats when I was about 18!!!!!

Congratulations on the new bike Sutur.

I'm assuming it's a new one (being K9 colours?).

Time to update your profile - your not hunting anymore!

I can't help out with suspension settings. I can only dream of being 70kgs again!

Enjoy it in moderation and it should still feel fast when you get the urge to play!

yes... welcome to the club.
poor decision in colour though.lol

lol fan of the whites mate? There's a word for people like you ;)

I'm working on getting up to 80Kg so I have more purchase over the monster in general. It doesn't help to be 70Kg on this beast let me tell you, reversing up the slightest gradient is quite embarrassing. However, it helps in acceleration/deceleration!

Well done Sutur, go forth & enjoy. I think Big Kev mentioned that most 'Busa owners are constantly broke, the reasons for this are quite simple; The bikes are so reliable u find urself spending moola on go faster goodies or bling, spending moola on doing trips all over the country side, spending much moola on rear hoops and last but not least, spending moola on partying!.

Cheers,

Congratulations mate you will never regret your purchase. All Suzukis I have ridden drop in real quick especially GSXR1000 but this is a good thing, only problem you may have with busa is low speed U-turns be easy on throttle

[sutur]

low speed U-turns be easy on throttle

Thanks for the warning :)
