Absolutely what everyone says. Many here drag knees. I feel the busa is WIDER than other bikes and requires more hang off but that just might be my style. Don't lean IT over, lean YOU over to avoid scraping peg feelers, cans, fairings, and tighten up the stock suspension
I've seen more random Hayabusa's at road course track days than I have ANY other big bike. Saw a 12R once... strapped in the back of a pickup... for sale

It is very easy to drag a knee on the Busa. The most important thing is hanging off or you WILL drag plastics etc.
A good set of rearsets helps alot. With my big feet I always drag my toes, even w/ my toes on the peg.
As long as the Busa is you need to counter steer quite a bit, don't try to pull it over.
Make sure you have good tires.

Memorial Weekend was my first time ever riding deals gap. It was never my intension to drag my knee, however, after riding it several times and getting the feel for it... I "accidentally" drug my knee through one of the corners. Now this would have been a good thing had I been in the appropriate attire for it .
I dont try to keep up with the boys in the corners but I can damn sure get that busa down low enough to drag my knee if I chose too. Other than the tail its all stock.

People think busas are so limited because of their size. F that! The busa has shown that it IS and all around bike. Wheelie, Knee drag, Drag and the occasional drifts.
Busa should be called "All around bike monster!"

Almost down
But you can see the busa is completely capable.
My advice if you plan to hit the corners this aggressive is to replace the stock fork springs with a spring rated for your weight if you can't get the proper ride height from the stock springs. I weigh 165lbs and the stock springs where too soft. Then set the bike's ride height. You can set the bike's ride height per Jinkster Attacks Suspension sticky or take it to suspension gurus, they'll generally set ride height for $20 or something.
If you don't you run the risk of bottoming out your suspension(especially if you're a big dude) and/or scraping hard parts because you don't have enough ground clearance.
