Was just browsing CycleTrader and found this busa setup for touring that (per odometer) was never toured on? Anyways, I found it interesting….
Interesting touring busa handlebars setup
- Thread starter mabupa
- Start date
Spiegler/LSL top clamp
plus a set of tall bars.
I had the spiegler bars on my gen2, and considered some tall bars like that for comfort, but didn't want to change the handling that much.
I would like to ride that though.

A lot of thought, planning, work, and expense has gone into this bike . . looks awesome! and the price ain't too bad either.
I'd love to ride that to check out the ergonomics and handling . . . I already know about the power it has . . mmmmmmmm.

I found that odd too. Look like they stole my DR650 pegs.
Would be perfect for your long tours Tim! Just need a cup holder and you are set.

Since I pretty much only ride Hayabusas, ( I have 3) I like it. It's the perfect bike you can set up for about anything. I wish those pics weren't so dark. Someone put some time in that but didn't get to ride it.

Seen it , and will have cornering issues if pushed . The mid pipes will drag after being lowered to clear GIVI bags . Ask me how I know ? Hence why a single exhaust that extends past Givi bag . The Yosh set up will still melt the back of bags if its above 60 F , and you are in slow moving traffic . Learned a great deal building RJ .
A few years ago I was chatting with a fellow with a big Kawasaki Vulcan that he had ridden through out Canada and New England. He had modified it with a touring screen, hard bags, stereo system, touring saddle, driving lights, GPS, etc.. etc...
As I was riding away I thought he'd be blown away by a Concours, but then he was a cruiser type guy and a sport touring bike would not be his style.
I thought, "we often buy the bike we want, then spend an inordinate amount of effort creating the bike we need, hmnnn... change bike to goals and that's almost a profound thought from my peanut sized brain".
This Busa reminds me of that Vulcan.
LOL
cheers
