Handling? No handling here!

[Klutch556]

We just finished up my buddy’s bike. Hooooo leeeeee chit Batman. Handling didn’t just go on vacation but it packed up, sold the house and hopped on space-x’s launch to outer space.
18” wheels chrome coated.
2” over single sided arm also chromed.
240 rear tire.
The unsprung weight on those wheels REALLY makes a difference in acceleration also.
Edit: ignore that oil leaking from that “reusable” gasket that I told him not to reuse.... lol

It is good lookin', though.

Yep what I tell people often. Trade looks for performance. Now a stone stock bike will leave it with no effort.
The pain is nice though.

 

[Mr Brown]

Definitely stands out from the crowd now!

 

[rubbersidedown]

Ups and downs for me.
Paint looks quality,but not my style.
Love single sided arms,wanted one for years.
Single rotor looks way cool,but I would never cut a Busa's braking performance by 50%.
All that chrome and/or polish.
Smoke sigs,cool.
Not a fan of Brock's,althou I understand a shorty was chosen to expose more of that AWESOME rear wheel.I would have gone with a chrome or flat black VooDoo type shorty.I don't like VooDoo for their sound or performance but the shape would suit this ride.The flat titanium with black tip,yuk.
Yup,its the paint scheme.Line over the hump.Silver trim.Paint on the screen.Me no likey.
No worries thou,opinions are like A-holes,and I happen to be one.

Don't tell yer buddy I said anything.
Rubb.

I think it's why so many show bikes end up sold or in the back of people's garages. A bike's looks will get old in a year or less and if all it has is looks then the bike gets old fast. When the buddies all want to go for a ride and you can't keep up or the bike basically just sucks, you'll fall out of love with it pretty fast! I used to ride with a guy who had an RSD busa. Nice bike but all he wanted to do was park it. When we would ride he was the speck in the mirror.

Is that the new term for "Poser" bike.

I can ride fast...I just don't want too.
There are more chic's at the coffee shops and night spots than on some deserted canyon roads.
Busa's/motorcycles are fine an' all...but I'm just in it for the chic's.

Gonna get me a stunt bike next.

RSD is Russell Sands Design. It was an Interesting bike but another one disk wonder. It was built for a rim company to show off their rims at shows. Beautiful bike although it always reminded me of a root beer can! I can't seem to find any pictures of it though.

Found a picture on Google! Guess this was a famous bike at one time, what a POS it was.

 

[rubbersidedown]

didn't see your post but yeah that's it. He said he paid $18 for it from Performance Machine guy. Who knows if any of that was true but that was the bike, even the number 3. The wheels it had on it were the first picture.

 

[Klutch556]

god I LIKE that flat black nose over the headlight

It's funny but Roland Sand's is one of the only custom Hayabusas that I actually like...most of the rest of them look like this to me:

I agree with you a lot...but I'll never admit it.
