Just want to share my first Busa front wheel lift! I just finished up a nice little jaunt to the store, and as I was comming back home, when I took a nice little right hand sweeper. I had 2 cars ahead of me in the turn, and speed was very slow....1st gear slow. Once I got out of the turn I switched to the lane free of traffic and did a nice little shift into second. This is where the smile begins for me.... I rolled on the throttle from about 2500 rpm, and next thing I know I feel this amazing feeling of going vertical! As I was accelerating at a moderate rate the front end kept rising....suprised the heck out of me, because I tried to wheelie before in 2nd gear with my stock exhaust, and I was having no luck..blame it on lack of self confidence in myself or the bike, but until that moment I hadn't lifted the front end off the ground.
I thought maybe weighing 210Lbs, I was just too heavy to get the front off the ground. And the amazing thing to me is that I was no where near going for broke on the throttle. What an amazing feeling having the front end vertical. The moment only lasted about 3 to 5 seconds, but it felt like nothing Ive ever felt before. And what is truely amazing to me is the front end came down like a feather lofting to earth....gentle, and controlled.
Maybe its the new HP from the full Micron exhaust, maybe my confidence is growing in myself with this bike, maybe I got lucky, and maybe it will never happen again, but I went Vertical today, and what an experience. I will never forget the feeling or this moment. Yah I've wheelied dirtbikes and small bikes before, but none had the speed and grace of the Busa. I don't even care if anyone reads this, I just want to look back someday at this thread and remember the day I felt true grace, balance, and amazement from such a wonderful machine.
