Buzz and vibes

[OB_Kaw9R]

Do you guys consider the Busa a buzzy bike? ...Or considerably less buzzy than others?

I currently own a '98 ZX-9R and previously I owned a '95 ZX-6R. My biggest compliant about both of these bikes is the buzzy-ness. The 9R was better but still left my hands (throttle especially) very numb -to the point I almost couldn't brake on a couple of occasions.

Perhaps I have some medical condition ...maybe I'm allergic to Kaws?

I am fairly noticable to buzz in the handlebars as well. On my 97 GSXR-1100 it would put my right hand to sleep. The BUSA in my opinion does not have this problem. The bars and the pegs fell great. The 9R is a great sport bike but you will learn to appreciate the torque of the BUSA. It just grows on ya . . . If I can get the numbers to work out, I may buy a '00 ZX-9R but it is in the future.

I'm with Mr.Lee on this. Even when the Busa hits its buzzy spot, about 5 grand, the vibration is more a sensation that the motor is just beginning to flex its muscle and isn't really noticable after you get used to it.

The Busa is the most vibration free and by far the most stable bike I have owned or ridden .

I think we any bike if you maintain a certain RPM your hand/arm will fall to sleep etc. Start mixing up your RPMs and moving around. Pull a few wheelies, hard accellerations etc....
Takes away the cobwebs...

My wrists always hurt the first few rides of the season.. They are fine now.. I am in full squid mode!
