I'm just wanted to let everyone know the busa can lean and can turn when pushed

I would have to say any bike will lean it's the rider that don't.

I know I just have a chip on my shoulder from hearing "wow you got a busa man those things go fast but they can't turn" every time I tell someone new I have a busa. So thats the reason for the post

I think what most people mean in their statements about the Busa, is that the Busa will be dog meat following a 600 through some real tight tech turns, with equal riders.

The Busa, being a sport-touring can lean, and lean good as your excellent pictures show. However,it cannot rail like the lighter bikes with equal riders.. :lol :lol

ceh
2001 GSX R1000
2003 RC51

Having now owned the bike (fulfulling a personal goal) I've taken my riding to a new level and I do see the reality a 3" shorter wheel base and 75-100lbs less weight can do especially in the tight twisties and as soon as I get over the love of doing 180+ (liter bikes just are not as smooth at those speeds) and focus only on twisties I will likely trade in my busa for an R1 or GSXR 1000 but that's next year likely. Its obvious when I run with 500, 750s they are tighter in the turns its just so fun to make up 300ft of distance on the straight in about 1.5 seconds and the pull isjust fantastic unlike anything I've ever riden.

Thanks your feedback.

nice pics, and I agree it's more of the rider's ability than the bike in most cases.

I miss Palomar...too bad it's getting so crazy to ride up there. Not even worth it anymore

 

[Darkstar]

its not that a busa 'wont' lean, its that it takes a lot more to get it to lean.

nice pics btw

Nice pics. But Full Tilt has well proven that Busas can lean. Do a search on "Kill Busa" he's got a low-quality version that's 30 minutes and 40ish mb. Well worth the download.

If you like the power but want a tad better handling -the zx12 may be a better choice. I had a Busa and the 12 is much better in the corners and on the track.

Im sure a GSXR1000 or zx10 would be optimal for that type of riding. But then again, most people don't buy a Busa for tight cornering.

Here is one of my favorite Busa pics. I don't know who the rider is but, He's got this thing leaned over pretty good.

for a sec i thought that was you! :leghump gotta love the color. nice pics BTW. one day ill be able to do that! :twofinger

 

[busarider54]

Great pics!

 

[Darkstar]

that is sweet.

were the sparks in the 1st pic photoshopped in there? cuz all it takes is jsut a little weight on a hard part (i.e. after market rearsets or a pipe in this situation) and your ass is sliding.

im not doubting the busas capabilities, thats just what it looked like in that particular picture.

That's not necessarily true. People scrape pegs all the time, causing sparks just like that and they ride away just fine.

Wow...... i love these pics. I will have to get a busa one day. For now I'll keep learning on the SV.

Wow thats some lean he's obviously been on the bike and that track a few times.... ya think

All I can say about that guy is.....brass balls.... BRASSSSS BALLLSSSS..... Least they're factory mufflers... You can't feel too bad about dragging factory parts. Just a good excuse to replace them with aftermarket then. :lol
