(BA BUSA @ Jul. 12 2007,07:09) You are so fugged

Ain't it GREAT

To our fellow trackday riders

Been down the exact road and I'm currently converting my 06 to a dedicated track machine. Gonna shave 30 pounds off (lights, wiring and that ridiculously heavy cast front stay assembly).
Dialing in the front has been the biggest problem. My advice is to go straight to a pro AT THE TRACK. The rear is surprisingly good with the stock shock on the 06 but I understand the 05 is not.
Anyone need a 04-06 R1 complete body in blue? I got one in the box. Tons of stock parts too.
Oh and some advice: You'll need to acquire some right hand restraint when leaned over above 9k rpm. That motor will wheelie inside a phone booth

.
Enjoy the ride...feed the disease.

I forsee a future involving the McCoy boys over at www.tobefast at some point. They are Yammie nuts.

Did you keep the Busa or did you go Yammie all the way?

 

[cosmo]

.....oh and the stock dampener is for street use. I went with the Ohlins and you WILL be adjusting for different tracks and weather conditions.

congradulations on your bump up !!!!!!! It's going to feel like your on a BMX bike after the BUSA !

Tim,

I will be at Road Atlanta 7-28. I will be bringing both the Busa and the R! if it is track ready.

I got a lot to do......

With my weight...340lbs, a trip to Traxxion Dynamics will be needed. I foresee a Ohlins shock and a revalve/respring in the front in my future.

I have known the McCoy's for many years. Great bunch of people there and yes I already have some Graves products on the way from them.

Keeping the Busa. I will be converting it back to street use.

That is awesome Kevin. Now you can really make the track day for Glenn, just watch out for turn 1 at Jennings.

 

[motogp08]

Glad you're happy with your Yami.

Hope it make's the track easier for you as well.

Hope we can get that nailed down soon.

Ever since I attended my 1st one 2 or so years ago, I am addicted. It seems there is no cure for this addiction. One can only hope to feed the burning desire to be on a track.

It all started at Road Atlanta where I was the Fatt Kidd running a Busa in a world on 600 and 750's. But, Life is Good!

Vman, I just called Road Atlanta and they told me that they don't do track days for motorcycles anymore. Did I talk to the wrong person? If they don't, is there somewhere else that you do your track days at? I'm in the Athens, GA area.

Will do, just noticed the original date of the thread.:huh2:

 

[rkabusa]

NICE Had the same bug and it took one good day at the track on the busa for me to realize that ,the way I was pushing it and scraping plastic, I better get something track ready. 99 gixer 600 Lap times drop 3 sec.

Racing infection: I had it for 30 years..... no known cure.. winning makes it worse...

 

[semperfi]

Great looking bikes! I would love to find a good used GSXR 750, but twisties are hard to find in Illinois. At least I can ride the Busa to the hills and still be able to walk when I get there.
