My Busa is sold and I'll take a break in motorcycling for a year or so. I've been running a lot since 2003, perhaps more than most people are doing in a lifetime. I been running a lot on tracks, the Nurburgring and smaller tracks. Last year I used the bike very little and there is no meaning...

It looks perfect :thumbsup: Much better than the butt-ugly stock fender.

The Busa IS a heavy pig compared to a 1000 CC sportbike but this doesn't change the fact it is nimble compared to the VMax. Thanks for sharing some wisdom though :laugh:

The VMax is a pig in an elephant suit vs. the Busa :laugh: Just my 2c.

A RADO Ceramica watch and a golden neck chain. It seems I've behave well during 2010 :laugh:

8.04/186 on 1st gen Busa :beerchug:

Starting the engine for a couple of minutes every other day would be really bad both for the engine, battery and exhaust system. The battery cannot become reacharged that fast. The engine oil would soon be full of water and harmful acids since the oil needs reach full temperature to dispatch the...

The 1098 is a great bike :beerchug: I personally prefer the brutal power and stability of the Busa but the Ducati is far better for track use in the right hands.

I've added steel braided teflon lines, Brembo pads and a Brembo radial master cylinder. The performance of the brakes is now completely different from stock, MUCH better bite and feeling. The braided lines are not the key to better (read more powerful) brakes, you need to have the right pads and...

I think they are M6 and you should replace both the bolt and nut if the threads has gone south. Take the bolt with you to the shop where you will by a new one to make sure unless you can not determine the size.

I second that, Busa FTMFW :thumbsup:

A Busa will do very well on a fast track in the hands of the right pilot. I've tracked my bike several times on the Nurnburgring and other places. I'm not very fast but not slow either. It is just to relax and enjoy. Last week I was in Thailand and rented a Yamaha R1 for a full day, I would...

Winter car Volvo S70 Turbo, summer car BMW 335i twin turbo and lil' Busa just ready for a trip to the Nurburg Ring :)

Looking damn good :beerchug:

Good choice and you save a lot of money by not buying the Brembo pump. If you want sport-bike-alike brakes it is then just to put in better pads. Brembo Red for road driving and EBC HH for track. The cold bite on the EBC's is not good but they are real stoppers once warmed up.
