Who is the oldest Busa rider on this site??

[Skunkape77]

I'm 43, bought mine for a 68 year old man in Louisville. Nothing factory but plastic. That man could show some kids a thing or two.

Had to scroll back a page to find a couple guys older than me! Turned 67 yesterday, still riding. I bought a 1972 Honda 750 4 new, thought it was incredible. This Busa feels like a fighter jet!

I am 60. Still have my first 2000 busa. I built it into my race bike for drag racing. Still love the rush. Not ready for golf cart yet. Ohh we 155 in 8 sec, time for a nap.

This thread is encouraging, I might have another good decade left. I'm 63, born in March of '57. First bike was a '73 RM125 ridden both in the dirt and street regularly lol, then to a '74 Kawi 500 triple. The rest is a nirvana-full blur.

All you old guys on here still riding are awesome, I hope I'm still riding at that age.

Nearly 65
The new (to me) ADV V-Strom terrifies me off road
On the pegs when riding?? Shifting that way?? Avoid using the front brake?? Lean away from the direction of the turn??
Wow
And I'm sore in places I didn't know had muscles
Nothing makes you love a Busa as much as riding a different bike

Hi I will be 71 in Dec. I am building a 800 to 1000 HP busa for land speed racing. And yes I will be the rider. It will also be one of my street bikes too.

That's great.
