    My First Bike First Everything

    Green, I was in your position 9.5 years ago with a brand new Busa. The best advise given to me was: 1. It is a Sport Touring bike. Stick to the touring part as long as possible.

    What did you name you're Busa?

    Anybody know this bike?

    I have lived in Germany for 20+ years and have never seen a road like that. It actually looks like something from Turkey. Multiple lanes, low traffic in between cities, and smooth highways are what I saw in Turkey during my visits.

    If you had to give up your Busa and change color to another,what would it be?

    I'd have to go back to the original color of my Busa, black like the one above @Blkoutbusa

    A rebuild process

    I would say that if the tank is in decent shape, wrap it. If not, www.monsterfairings.com

    A rebuild process

    Winter is upon us, so you should take your time and research all that you do to ensure that you are doing things correctly. The stay is a piece of cheap trash. Throw it away and buy what actually fix correctly. If you find yourself having a hard time finding parts, search first and then ask for...

    What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

    Rode her to work for last three days. It's been hot here in Germany, but it's really nice to take a 5 minute run at 100+mph on the autobahn twice a day.
