Well, I guess there's some pretty good cornering in this one, too...

Way better than the 'flat-lands' that's for sure! There are indeed some awesome roads there. You're probably ITCHIN' for some spring-time weather!!! :poke:
 
It will corner, but like everyone says ... it is the rider, not the bike.
My bike & I have a certain understanding ...

As some of you know I don't own a Busa yet. Been reading lots on this site. Sounds like many drag race. I'm hearing that the Busa is a great inline bike. But it's a "touring sportsbike". Kinda like oxymoron? Is that to say that with equal skill riders an R1 or GSXR1000 would leave a Busa. I ride with all kinds of bikes. Many guys I ride with down here have H-Ds, R6s, R1s, and GSXR1000s. We hit many curvy roads down here, it's fun. The sportsbikes leave me b/c I'm on an H-D, understood. But when I get my Busa, am I still left behind. ???

Nobody but nobody, 'cept the Isle of Man TT racers come close to operating a Hayabusa, Gsxr 1000, R1, R6, or any other modern sport bike anywhere near it's limits on the the street.

To assume that you will be operating a Hayabusa at the edge of it's performance envelope, and the only reason you are getting passed on the street is a rider of equal skill is on a motorcycle that has a slightly higher performance potential, is sheer folly.

If you are not going as fast as the riders on superstock bikes in this video then, regardless of the bike, it's the riders limits, or, if you are sane, it's the limits of safety that have been reached.

Your buddys ride this fast?

Does the knee always go out in curves or just when you're really getting on it. I would imagine when rolling around town in jeans that the knee would stay tucked in. Know pad in the blue jeans.

Everyone develops their own riding style, brother. I'd say generally not so much around town looking all motoGP. Gear-up appropriately and consider saving your position practicing for the track...or private pavement.

Don't forget the gear!!!

Good luck!
