Hmmm I'd honestly have to say from a biased point of view yes. The thing is this bike is literally in a league of its own I honestly do believe that there's nothing else road biased that can beat it, yes where Pete goes on his travels the cb500x may well do a better job than the beast but on the tarmac there's not much if anything that will live with it. So it's an each to their own answer it does what Pete needs of it as does the busa for my needs

They are just sublime mate, looking at them they don't look that comfortable but 120 miles was no issue and I'm not exactly what you'd call conditioned to long distance riding, I'm extremely happy with it

I know right, lives in Wales and moans it's raining, should have lived in England

Hmmm sounds like the barge captain has been drinking again

I think you need your x2 glasses on Fred

And who might that man be?

Could we rename yours the barge captain

That woman in red is going quick...looks like the speed of light almost

It does? I never heard that one before it doesn't feel like a monkey humping a football, maybe a monkey strapped to a cruise missile

Oooh some van action?

You been talking to my wife

Nah I'm going to go with busabeast..... its final

Tbh I think it looks like a well thought out luggage system, well balanced at any rate. It suits the himalayan

Thanks Clive, I may very well take it for an outing next time I do a trackday, just because....

It was just in Peterborough services....a quick comfort break was needed

It is exactly that, dropping to 5th is the only way to combat it

Mine has a 4 in to 1 and a quick shifter....I'm guessing it's a full system, it needs the fueling sorted as it's jittery with on off throttle

Exactly that.....

Hey Caroline offered you're expenses so it would be rude of me to turn it down and you wouldn't want to show yourself up in front of a lady would you now

Yeah that's a point I could always just get Pete to pay for it all just because..... Come on old man dig deep @XTreme

As you full well know 95 on the busa is just too easy, I can't afford to not have self restraint..... What the fuck have I just done

The ninja last night at the same speeds was on reserve at 107 miles and bailed out of it at 122 miles that really was a thirsty little fucker, I'll miss it but not for long

Yeah I definitely get what you mean, I have the exact same thing with the busa

Just did the figures and it is returning 58mpg I am very happy with that.....

Also 185 miles from filling up to fuel light coming on but I didn't fill up till 205 miles is a big plus and I only put 16 litres in so I had nearly 4 litres left so I could probably have got near on 250 miles till it was really in need. And that was keeping the speed up between 80-100 except for the 40 limit around Leicester and the 50 at Elkesley and 70 average at Barnby area. I haven't done the figures but I'd guess more than 50mpg
