Been lurking for a couple of days, and did a search but didn't find the answer using the search. But here goes. Short story to start......
Anyways I've been a Duke rider up until 5 years ago with an NCR Replica, since then I've modded this Aprilia with big pistons, CF everywhere, larger TBs, full floating discs and many other bits that I can'r remember, std they come 110rwhp, mine has 132rwhp, and I know, Busa's have more, but this one comes 40kg lighter! .
Anyways, 5 mths ago I went to NZ and borrowed a Busa for 3 days through a friend. The bike had 1700kms on the clock. My 3 days added another 1800kms to that. This was also the first time in years that I'd had a go on an I4, let alone a BUsa!
It was surprisingly good. But there were times I would've preferrred the Falco. But I digress.
Well about 2 mths ago the same bike comes up for sale in NZ, so I bought it for $Aust9.5K. Bargain. Comes with 2 way intercomm, radar detector, slipons, and brand new tyres. So I now have a bike in Oz, plus NZ. Nothing like a couple of bikes in a couple of countries!
It's a Black and Silver 02 model, by the way.
Anyways I have 2 questions.
1st. I have a spare set of Brembo full floater SS rotors which fit my Aprilia, anyone know for sure if these might fit a Busa.
2nd. I had a terrible time with the brake lever, in as much as the position/size of the std one, just doesn't do it for me, and woulkd like to know what other optiuons there for it. It has new pads but I haven't tried the bike with them as yet, and won't for another 2 mths, till I get there for a 12 day blast!
PS: If any of yopu are thinking about it, NZ has to be M/cycling Nirvana!!!!!!
Hope you more experienced guys can help.
PS Loved the bike, so I bought it, but have no clue as to what to do with it as yet, except ride it as is.
PS what is this "Marble Mod" that everyone talks about. Can you give me a link to what it is.? I am a newbie after all!
