The busa is easy to ride, personally I think bigger engine bikes are easier to ride, because of the extra power at lower rpm's. It has very smooth controllable powerI am thinking of buying a busa and i have a few questions for the senior members of this board.I had a zx9 previously so im not new to bikes,my question is how many people on here for use there busa for everyday commuting?Im a little intimidated because of the reputation and am curious how it is for everyday riding?I am looking to commute doing the week and drag race on the weekends in comfort so i think the busa would be the best choice.
I'm 52. I've put 20,000 miles on her in a year. Daily in the summer and as much as i can in the winter. Heli bar riser bars and buell peg lowering mod and a New Image Seat. Do a search for any of those to see what people say about them. I dont race, but am very comfortable on short trips and long all day rides.
It's been said many times..the busa is a sport touring bike. Go for it!
Racerbrad I'm 58 and here's my take on the Busa. It's all about intelligence of your right wrist. The bike can be so docile and just putt around like it was a Harley (w/o the noise) or you can light the throttle and hit the after burners to Mach I if you want to. But here's the catch..... for your own safety and others when and where and under what circumstances you light the throttle and hit the afterburners is of maximum concern. The wrist action needs to match your skill level. That seems easy but testosterone manifests itself in many ways . Be the guy who rides within his limits and really that goes for all bikes not just a Busa. I've seen men seriously injured on 883 Sportsters for doing the wrong thing at the wrong time...ride within your limits and go home happy you rode. Learn to ride the Busa within your skill level and I hope to ride with you down the road. Wardie
