Love the twisties

Yhea that is what I was thinking. Would help going back and forth from South Florida to New England.
I would say just the opposite. I am at stock now and lowering won't make you corner better. Busa is big around the middle and if you get that plastic lower you will be dragging parts. Let me know how the lowering experiment goes though.... Always willing to drop some time...

I'm with you guys, definitely prefer the twisties. I would rather keep the bike stock so that it handles better in the mountains. However, if I lived somewhere like florida, it might make more sense to stretch and lower. Just depends on what you like to do more, highspeed straights or the twisties.

Twisties for me. The dealer told me not to lower it. Especially since I like to do some two up with the wife.
My bike was lowered for a short while. i did not like the cornering ability at all. I returned it to stock height pretty quickly. i do not drag race either. i rode my buddy's busa which had a 6 inch extension. It took longer to corner my lines were off. the bike did not feel like something fun to ride. this could have been due to lack of familiarity with his setup. My bike has a stiff setup
I LOVE THE TWISTIES !!!
I race my busa on the racetrack and street/sport ride here in Europe. I have been knee draggin/ wearing down knee sliders for years, but if the conditions with bike/tire/road are not right I don't do it.
You're better to utilize the Busa with big fast roads with plenty of smooth fast twisties. You are a better skilled rider because you have to be.
don't stretch out a Busa. Don't restrict yourself to straight lines. The Busa has so much more to offer than just brute power. Use it, dude.
REAL HAYABUSISTS USE THEIR BIKES IN MANY WAYS.
I know I am pissing some one off right now, but the straight line guys are not real riders, they never will be. The never will have the skill and ability when they have to do something other than twist the throttle and apply the brakes.
Don't sell yourself out to that stuff.

Everyone has thier preferences.I love the twisties and the BUSA is very capable. I find it more challenging to throw a BUSA into a corner or watch the guys with the smaller bikes behind me.I will always remember the time I was on the back roads with some Beemer riders, They pulled me over when they caught up and said I didn't know a BUSA could do that.Meanning handle that well.ITS THE RIDER!With that said after riding the BUSA like that just think how fast you would be on a smaller bike (shorter turn radius)

get a little lght in that OC, I wanna ride that road
what the busa gives up on entry it more than gains on exit, I find it better to remain smooth and constant cuz of the weight and poor breaking, I get em leaving the corner
