Hello everyone!
I am 99.5% sure that I will be buying a new leftover '08 or '09 Hayabua this week. I have been riding since '76, and mostly on BMWs (about 300K+ miles) usually long multi-day trips. (of course my wife is worried about me getting a "fast" bike...) But I just sold my 2005 R1200ST and since I don't have as much time as I used to, I have picked the Busa for my sport-touring bike (shorter trips, more fun?). I am 5'5" and will need to lower the front/back 1" and install Heli-bars. Anyone has experience with this change on the '08 Busa please? I may have to soften the suspension also for touring...any experience here? THANKS AGAIN.
