Name's Dan. Previous bikes BMWF650GS, Suzuki Bandit 1200, Honda VTX1800, BMW K1200RS and now a 2010 Busa.

It's got Yoshi's, iridium screen, heaps of touring gear and was in impecable condition until it decided to drop itself (I think I parked it badly).

I bought it to race so have Oggy's coming, bought all the Dianese goodies until they burnt in a garage fire and I plan on doing some track days and completing CSS next year.

Anyway, thanks for having me on board and I look forward to any advice specifically in relation to the craft of racing.

Bazman, Bazman, Bazman... there's racing, then there's racing... The man obviously has taste and is planning on doing track days! Straight-line racing is for sissies.

Welcome HF!

G'day Dan, mate.

Now that you have a 'Busa you can be forgiven for the Beamers and Honda

Enjoy your new ride

Welcome :)

Question, 2010 plated? But 2011 BLUE model?

Where in QLD are you?

[Ward P]

Woohoo, another big 'busa circulating the tracks.
CSS is awesome. Make sure you take your bike to Phillip Island. They just love that fast flowing circuit.

Dan,
Good to see you have ditched those troublesome beemers
I'm trying to convince my boss to do the same and I'm nearly there !!
What's with the K10 bazman .. They went to L when they started making real busas

Alchemist - i'm in Dubbo, it's a late 2010 model bought in 2011. I asked the same question, but can't really remember the response. I've checked absolutely everywhere for respray or damage and it seems legit.

PAN - I like curves in all respects. Skinny straight lines are for gen Y'ers and hipsters.

p.s. I need ideas for subtle/retro yet aerodynamic aftermarket mirrors. Those behemoths are tack as all hell.

[Batfink]

If you like curves then the busa is definitely your bike (girl)

Why use mirrors, they only show you if anyone is coming up behind you which should NEVER happen on a busa (unless ur old and slow like me ). I think the mirror set-up is the same as for the gixxer (GSXR1000) but others will be able to confirm that. I got some after market mirrors that are def more aerodynamic and smaller but ultimately illegal if the ever wanted to be mean to me

Hope you enjoy ur new toy and good to see another busa convert

cheers

I had to plane it to Sydney (where a cop called me and told me my man-land burnt down), then to Albury. Rode it back up, showed it off to a fellow busa mate and down she decided to go. This was after some schitt bling chain guard came off at speed and ground the rear wheel in various areas.

Had a better couple of days, but now I've got a 13k visa card to spend on tools/mods plus i'm going to have a bigger shed made up. Eventually i'll be in Biker's paradise (sans 42 virgins)..
