I have never worn shorts on any bike I have owned, so this heat issue does not seem to be a bother on Busas. I would like to suggest that anyone wearing shorts consider wearing some mesh riding pants over them. Phoenix pants by Joe Rocket are pretty reasonable. I wear them over my work clothes...

I am almost ready to buy a Busa. The ZX14 seems a little more streched out and comfortable, but there are lots of posts about excessive heat on the rider and the motor getting to top bars in traffic. So what kind of heat are you guys felling? Also how hot does the motor get in traffic? I live in...

Will be contacting those dealers in Sacramento on Tuesday. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Northern California: So what dealers are really selling 2006 at a great discount. In Modesto, D&H wants $11,300 OTD. There must be somebody up here that can beat that by 3 or 4 hundred. Welcome comments

Trying to get all the info I can before I buy a Busa.  Heard rumor that you have to manually adjust the cam chain at perscribed intervals.  Is that true??  I had a 1979 Yamaha XS11 that you had to adjust.  I thought those days are gone and auto adjusters were used for everybody.

Thinking of buying a Busa. Wondering what the mileage you get on your chains and tires. Also, do you guys use Sport touring tires? I guess the first set of tires probably on;y last 2K. After you get use to the bike you probably dont accelerate is hard. I like rapid take offs though

Whats the TLR peg changeout?? My knees are my biggest issue.

I have caught Busa fever.  What makes it worse is that my wife is the one that gave it to me!!!  We saw a Ltd pearl white Busa and she fell in love with it.  Now the question is can I take the riding position?  I have a 2005 Yamaha FJR.  Its very comfy.  Most of my riding is commute 80 miles...
