Default Re: My conclusions about "Hayabusa can't corner" and the track riding poll

I workout and I dont mind husselling the big girl around! I am 175lbs and 5' 8". The busa is a capable bike! You just need to be smooth on the gas, brakes, and know the limits of the big girl! The bike is wider and 100 to 110lbs heavier the a liter bike......Mine weihgs in at 548lbs with fuel. The mods done to mine that have helped get here to lean better and help with handling are: Track days on other bikes for me....cant say enough about track days. Time in a parking lot and feeling the bike out to! Full exhaust... weight loss and road clearance improvement. A larger rear tire a 190/55r17 instead of the 190/70r17. Raises the rear, more contact patch. The 3 tooth up rear sprocket. Shortens wheel base, give more pull for the larger rear tire added. Rear dog bones. Raise the rear 1" more weigh on the nose... and better feel on what the front end is doing! Getting the sag setup for your body weight too....Learning how to setup the suspension.
