I have seen Busas try to take curves. They don't do well. I guess they are too heavy and the geometry isn't right. That or the riders are not accustomed to leaning hard into corners. A guy with a VMax once told me traction control coming out of the corner was a worse issue than its poor handling in the corners. I have wondered if that is the case with busas.NTXFJR wrote:My bil has a busa and just couldn’t resist bragging how fast his bike was. He talked me into lining up on a nice straight stretch of back road and I showed him what a feej could do up to 130 with me on it. Yeah, I let him win. He did comment that he was impressed with my bike that it was no slouch. Funny how he slowed waaay down in the curves though, I had no issues staying ahead of him then.silverback wrote: ↑Wed Jul 18, 2018 8:21 am Rode mine to work.
Had to show a Hyabusa how much less acceleration an FJR has. Representin'.
At any rate, I am sure the 16" extention to the swing arm doesn't help handling either.
