Fit for Touring!!!

At 46 i find my self doing longer burnouts-
in second gear-and better wheelies than when i was 18 on the Kaw H1/Suzuki 500T's i had at the time. "Where can you use a 175hp, 200mph
motorcycle?"--In immortal words of one industry hack "Any side Street"-I tour too, at about 120 in third, just waiting for the motor to hit at 6,000-enjoy your bike. Busa's
are too user friendly not to whack. For luggage try UPS, or Fed Ex. You ship your gear ahead and pick it up at the motel.

I live in the UK and will be taking delivery of a bronze / silver Busa in a few weeks.
As the speed limit here is only 70mph - I obviously won't be able to experiment with the power and speed talked about here - and just have to enjoy the benefits this give to slower riding.
I intend taking touring trips around mainland Europe (short four day trips etc)
with my good lady as pillion.
Can anyone suggest a suitable type of luggage
carrying equipment (apart from the wife).

Hi Bod......just to let you know the speed limit in nevada in the good ole usa is 70 as well, But you can BET your ass that im going as fast as this thing can go...........hehe.
Just dont get caught. BTW if you say your not going over 70 now.....ill bet you 10 pounds that you'll say " screw this poop" i'm hauling ass on this thing. You wont be able to keep it 70 and under...........

OK then - you've convinced me - maybe i'll see if it'll do 80mph !!!
Seriously though - I'm 35 but feel like like a kid waiting for Xmas.
Like Ares (earlier posts) - this will be my first bike for many years, and I don't want to re-start the discussion on whether I should get it - I'm relly looking forward to using the bike as a tourer. For me, all that power should translate into a much smoother, more comfortable ride at normal riding speeds
