Will A 240 Kit Kill Handling?

[goblinsix]

This might be obvious...but does a 240mm kit for a Busa significantly cripple it in terms of carving up the twisties? It would see that a large rear tire would make the bike want to stay upright and resist leaning over. Any experiences here?

Won't kill it, but it will affect it. You can actually improve handling by having the suspension tuned for you.

The bigger tire will take a bit more HP to turn and the bike will be a little slower tipping in. If you like the looks and don't mind the HP loss and casual tip in, no problem!

I don't know how many choices you have in 240 size tires but if you like the twisties I'd look for a tire with a decent profile for tip in.

The fat tire does look cool but doesn't improve performance.
