Changing bikes. What now? 'Busa?

It's been a while since I posted here so I've lost touch with who owns
what. So, any Busa owners around. Any general opinions?

I had a test ride the other day and was surprised by the docility
around town. Handling felt a bit odd but the rear tyre was badly worn
so I imagine that had a part to play. Only real black mark was it felt
unbelievably slow at, say 80. However, when I returned it to the shop,
I noticed the speedo read up to 280 instead of the usual 220 and even
though there was a mph sticker, I think it likely it was kmh - salesmen
assured me it was mph but I'm not convinced.

I want something quick, relatively comfortable, able to carry a
pillion, handle, and be capable of distance work. I have no real need
for 150bhp but hey, you only live once - but possibly for not much
longer.

over to you

I had one for a year - before they restricted them

It was fine - nice to ride but a bit tiring after a two or three
hundred miles in a day. Expensive on tyres and brakes, but that's to
be expected. Let down by the finish a bit, but no worse than any of
the lesser marques.

Get one - they're fun.

 

So what made you sell it? The lack of comfort on long trips?

That's the kind of advice I like to hear.

Partly - that and the finish. And I fancied a Pan at the time.

Bagsy a go.
