Actually, the AMA changed the Formula Xtreme rules to only allow up to a maximum of 1000cc displacement for inline fours (nowadays, it's only 650cc). Thus, making Rad Grieves "RadBusa" illegal for AMA racing, the only real reason why the Busa isn't used in AMA Superbike Competition.
Merry Christmas to you too Vinny!!!Dayuuuum, I had never seen your ole' Busa. Too bad she's gone. Pics look great, Ryan. Best wishes and Merry Christmas. DDgreat pics guys!! keep em coming

Yeah, only a select few got to see me riding the Busa before I switched over: Charles, Rich, Lamb and xzvs aka Mike.
hmm I thought the busa was off the race circuits due to engine size...
anyway, a couple real "Experts" comment that they can run faster on a smaller bike in a magazine article and it is amazing how many guys put themselves into that same group... I think I have met 1 or 2 of the real experts
Just have them meet you at the racetrack...

Hummmm working on it, lol
It is basically the riders experience. If given the choice I would take my RC51 or my Wife's 600 RR for corner carving. I like dragging a knee on the Busa just because people think you can't do it. The Busa is a quite capable bike, but it is work compared to the lighter bikes that want to fall into the corners. It is by far the best all around bike I have ridden in 30 years.

You know what. I just tell them no problem you'll beat me on the turn but that gust of wind you feel fly by you on the straight away was me. So I can turn off my bike and walk it around the corner and still smoke you and your 600.
To be honest I have never raced on a track so I really don't know what the hell I am talking about. It does make sense when these guys say lighter bikes make it around corners faster. But I yet t build the courage to scrape my knee on a turn so...

The smaller bikes are more flickable and have the advantage in the tight stuff. But that doesn't mean the Busa is a straight line only bike.
se Yellow Wolf made 1,000s of passes and knew the road better than anyone else
