Bit like when incandescent bulbs lost favour n halogen n led took over and the brightness descriptions were all over the place. If they ever truly get to grips with the force available instantly (and I’m mean feckin instantly) I suspect they’ll eventually redefine the laws accordingly. For example you might only be doing 40 but the time it took to get there could missile style wipe out anything in its path. If you get my meaning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Jeezus that’s good my Bandits a thirsty bugger. Unreliable fuel gauge but closer to 150 max before you start wondering how much fuel you really have left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 So just got the beast out of the stable and under the rear seat is A power commander 5 and auto tune module and the box for the transontranslogic quick shifter. Looking at the exhaust it would seem to be a full yoshimura stainless system So I'm going to hazard a guess its not quite as standard as I thought it was, but the modifications are in good taste I think be interested to see if the airbox mod and sports airfilter have been installed too 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
