Jeezus... If the Busa takes so much more work, Your Fuggin getting it wrong. No It won't "Flick" like a tiny little Supersport, but other than that it will do exactly what you tell it, more effort than a 600 maybe, but it's not like you need some kinda of heroic effort.
If it's wanting to stand up in the corners, it's your own inputs causing this. The Busa will hold a line, stay where you tell it to and accept mid-corner inputs without much fuss. It's true the length of the Busa slows it in the real tight stuff and it want's to stand up if your braking a bit but it's allways composed and capable Street bike. NO special Drama, NO Fuggin "heroics" required...
As I said in my reply to "him", maybe I was doin' it wrong...
I still think my quote was taken out of context here. I didn't mean that it just outright fought bein' leaned. What I meant, and apparently should have said was that it doesn't turn as quickly, as easily, or as aggressively as the 10. No surprise there because it wasn't designed to do so, right?
Ya'll know that I'd be the last person to blast the busa in any aspect. As I said above, I know what an awesome bike the busa is overall. The hard fact is that the supersports and superbikes are designed to handle more aggressively and therefore are easier to ride hard in the twisties than the busa, which was not designed to handle as agressively as the smaller, road race oriented bikes.
I didn't say anything that you yerself haven't said, Rev... Remember when I was talkin' about makin' the move to a litre and you basically said that they were race prepped bikes with lights on 'em? Yer point was mainly that they aren't as forgiving, or at least that was the message I got from yer posts. Still, doesn't it make sense that the race inspired bikes would handle better in the twisties?
I wasn't tryin' to say the busa was impossibly hard to ride fast in the twisties, I was sayin' that it was hardER to ride fast than the 10, and it was for me...
I have no problem bein told that I was doin' it all wrong with the busa. I very well could have been. I've never came on this board and claimed to be a great rider, or even a good one. I'm satisfied that I never got anywhere near the busa's limits in any aspect, except maybe load capacity with my big arse. I'm ok with bein' told that my doin' it wrong was why the busa took more effort to ride hard in the twisties. However, the fact is that the busa WAS harder for me to ride fast in the twisties. Therefore, when I was asked about my take on the differences I included that difference.
I'll definitely be more careful about what I post here on this topic in the future. I never imagined that what I wrote and quoted above would get taken this way.
