Got the Busa out on the road this morning, Breakfast ride then a trip around Lake O and some back roads, played with the electronic settings and got to scuff the tires a bit.
I must say that even though the Busa is not perfect, it does tick a lot of boxes for me, at 5-10 and 155lbs the bike fits me just about perfect, creating
quite the air bubble whether sitting upright or in full attack mode, shifting seems better in setting #2 and i also find that keeping the engine braking turned off
works better. The seat is comfy and the clip-ons are well within reach without feeling like I'm laying/stretch out over the tank, reaching the floor at a full stop is easy and even though the bikes weight is felt while doing slow speed maneuvering, once at speed it handles extremely well for such a big girl.
Overall I'm quite happy with the bike and looking forward to racking up the miles....
