I don't really do much long distance riding, The majority of the roads I ride are twisty, fast sweeping back roads. I don't mind losing a bit off the top end as long as it makes up for it in wheelies!!
hi man from the green isle
if you want more wheely take 17 / 45 instead of 18/46 (or origin 18/43) - you will loose around 40 km/h at max speed, but, i guess, you will have your "fight with the wild-horse-like front wheel" .
(and if 17/45 is too much reduce to 17/44 - replacing the rear is not a lot of work and if you take a normal steel one, also not so very expensive)
the chain configurator of my chain dealer (mykettenkit.de) here in berlin say:
for 17/45 you can use the "old" chain with its origin 114 links (same at 18/46)
at 18/46 you need 2 links more
at 18/45 the old may fit
other theme:
"
twisty, fast sweeping back roads" - increase the agility of the busa to its optimum - i strongly recommend
by :
front 15 mm lower
rear 30 mm higher
760mm superbike bar
dear believe in me - gen1 or gen2 doesn´t matter - that way changed you WILL think you got more or less an enduro like motobike,
so easy the busa gets by these changes at
your roads - you will get a 3 finger steering like on a bicycle .
you will
to your busa .
i just had this feeling last summer at the alpes roads no 75 / 85 (grenoble to nice)
