      Nice Bikes..........

Someone likes red......

Yep, Red is a pattern.  Buying bikes with the same color combination helps me keep all my matching gear.  It's a lot cheaper that way then having to buy new riding clothes each time.  You wouldn't wear a blue jacket with a black helmet and a red bike would you???

(Professor @ Jun. 06 2007,07:07) It is never going to be as easy as the ACE or the V-Strom and neither of these will handle over 80 like the Busa. It is a give in take in the chassis spec, but time will make it better on the slow riding. I teach the msf course and demo all of the exercises on the Busa. Even the u-turn box using the small dimensions you had to test with. It just takes time and practice to develop the skills and learn the characteristics of the bike.

I never thought the stock clutch pull was that bad. Add some HD springs and watch out. I strongly suggest some training with hand grips to build strength in your hands. Work out while you watch TV. This also will make a difference with low speed control and maneuverability as you will be slipping the clutch at walking speeds.

More power to you for being able to do the MSF course on a Hayabusa.  I just went to the local parking lot where they have the course laid out on Monday and had a terrible time with everything below 25mph or so.  It was a lot of clutch work and my left hand wasn't in the mood.
