  1. And what are these minimum speeds and could my busa achieve them
  2. Just don't go for a gen 3 busa they are mud. Gen 2 busa all the way I guarantee you probably won't emerge without signing on the dotted line
  3. No? So it's quicker than billed eh?
  4. Hondabitch is a definite possibility fir XTremes forum name change
  5. I'd bet a busa is quicker and better at the ripping of arms from sockets
  6. Go on you know you want one
  7. Well for me it was effectively 4k
  8. Haha yeah basically, it truly defies physics how can it do what it does so well yet be such a big bike
  9. But it's equally very stable and easy to ride
  10. Honestly it is difficult to keep the speeds on the legal side, I was bimbling along at 95 this afternoon and I was shocked I was having to hold it back it just wanted to go faster, I was twisting the throttle around 2mm from closed to do 95
  11. I like the sound of Slowlycatchymonkey's busabeast...
  12. Now that's got a thing going for it
  13. You're vocabulary never ceases to amaze
  14. It's not 8pm so its not technically late
  15. To be honest it really doesn't need any tuning its already fast enough and I want to keep my licence.....self restraint is the order of the day with the beast
  16. Can't steal your name change for when you get one
  17. Ahh yes well I'll have to think up a new one
  18. Thanks mate, I'm extremely happy with it though I've just realised I have to change my forum name now.....
  19. So my final ride on the ninja definitely was nice even though slightly uncomfortable what with it being a sports bike and me having 260 miles to cover by a moderately reasonable time so I had to push my riding stints longer than I'd been wanting but it was eventually dispatched in around 4 hours or so. A restless nights sleep then followed for one reason or another and I woke slightly later than I'd planned too, so it was a rush around getting ready for the hours ride to where my new steed lay in wait. So the deal was struck with part ex and my taking of the busa after a quick test ride and although I only took it on a 10 minute test ride I'd already bought it in my head. So what can I tell you about the beast ermm well its comfortable and ballistic, vert refined around town happy to bomble around town at 30mph in top gear and it doesn't require dropping any cogs to get it to pick up speed, I shit you not that at 30 in top if you twist the throttle you're at licence losing speeds within about 3 seconds. I'm not sure what if any difference there is between the rider modes as I couldn't really determine any real changes between a, b or c they are all silly fast modes. It's equally extremely happy to blast along at fast m/way speeds with ease 90mph comes around a 5k with an 11k redline. As for comfort I had my tank bag with me so it was something for me to lean on abit though the screen keeps the weight off the hands and wrists on the m/way, the seat is comfortable though it is extremely wide and could do with being abit better contoured as it was digging in to my legs abit making it the limiting of how far I can go in a stint so it's something that I will look to get changed in time. The seat to pegs distance is almost perfect I think another 2 inches more between them and for me it would be literally all day rideable. The bodywork has a few blemishes but it is 13 years old so I couldn't really expect concourse condition but there are a few little bits I'll be tidying up. The only thing that I really need to get sorted is the fueling as it's very jittery on very slight throttle so my first step will be to put some fuel system cleaner through a few tanks and see if that helps.
  20. Well I got to my parents in 4 hours with 3 stops, around 3½ hrs total riding time to cover 260 miles....it was all on closed private roads of course
