You may very well see me on a busa again but it won't be because the 10 is short on comfort. The 10 is quite a bit more comfortable for me, believe it or not. Don't know why, and never would have believed it before I rode it, but it is. I've done around 150 miles in a day on the busa and my neck, between my shoulder blades, and my lower back was toast. I done 150+ miles the first day I had the 10 and the only "complaint" I had was tired/sore thighs and calves from slidin' back and forth across the seat and weightin' the pegs all day. Got another 100 miles the second day and not even sore legs...So BT your deserting the family for another woman I see. Too Bad so sad for you, you will be back it is just a matter of time. The Kawi just will not give you the feeling that the Busa did I can assure you of that.
I have ridden the kawi and granted the power is great but still can't hang with the Busa in torque and comfort. Good luck and will see you on a busa again someday.
Fwiw, the D218's are not bad tires so far. They do seem to want more warm up than the Powers but once they get warmed up they seem to do pretty well. Didn't get to ride yesterday or today due to rain but I can't wait to get back out and warm 'em up again!Well thanks for the info guys, I ordered a set and we will see what happens, hopefully Ron Ayers will come thru and have them in stock but what I am hearing through the grape vine is that the Poilt Powers are b/o for a while. Really don't need them until next year but figured I would get them now and have them ready to go on when I needed them. I may end up back with the M1's but I am always up for something different to try.
BT I am glad you are happy I was just kidding about the other stuff. It is pretty surprising that you say the comfort is better than expected, I may have to give my buddies 10R a try again and go for a longer ride to see but if I got one it would be a second bike to the Busa.
