ABM handle bar

[drsureshmohan]

Friends , I have the gen 3 and have done 1000 km , I’m 65 yrs old .whereas I’m fine riding in this position for about an hour or slightly longer I get a neck strain after that ; also I find it harder in traffic ( I have no issues on the ninja 1000 s upright sitting position ). The actual question I have for the group is how easy is it to flick the bike in corners after changing to ABM ( at present it is way better than ninja 1000 ) . Is it easier on the Busa mainly due to the handle bar position ( not that i can manage to ride with this for longer period , just asking . We rode side by on both bikes Busa feels way superior on sweeping bends and corners ( I haven’t done lock to lock too scared ). I have everything ready and will do this month end
Thanks

You’ll fine it easier with the bar conversion and no doubt see that you can ride for a greater distance.

The ultimate comfort mod for touring.

Yes, you'll have more leverage with wider and flatter bars, plus they are higher and closer to you.
They handle great.
You can also easily swap in countless bar bends to get their position just right for you.
I had them on my Gen2 Busa, and have them on my Gsxr1k now.
You may also want to get lower footpegs, and even a half inch drop takes out more knee bend than you would expect.
I love the sportbike riding position, but it doesn't take long for my wrists and lower back to ache anymore, but the dirtbike bars fix that and transform the ride...do it.
