100 mi so far....a lot of hwy so keep revving the bike 4,5,6....6,5,4....constantly trying to keep the rpms fluctuating.  Haven't gone over 110 yet and keeping the revs to about 7K give or take.  NO false neutrals except for the few I got with 15 mi on it.  Shifting lazy or fast...no false neutrals at all.

Anyway aside from a litte extra buzz from the pegs here and there....I got no complaints.  Bike feels solid and freakin' MEAN with the Yoshi's.  I can feel the extra power it has over the XX....it's not a ton more but it just feels more instant.  And I like the Busa's personality.  Plus suspension feels good....it handles just as well as my XX does....feels like it anyway.

I had to buy a bigger bit so I could torque the axle nut after adjusting the chain that was flopping all over the place when I brought it home.  But now it's good.  An aftermarket chain will be coming down the pike soon enough.

But yeah the Busa is one hell of a machine.....anyone who rides one without a radar detector is a

FREAKIN' IDIOT!

nice......wait until you go well over 100mph. for me, it seemed to become more stable at higher speed.
 
I go by a roadside radar detector(you know the ones that the police just set at the side of the road) everyday. It does not pick me up, ever. Not even once!!!! I like this unexpected bonus. You won't have any more problems with your chain.
Oh btw change that oil NOW!
 
I have an escort solo2 cordless mounted under the screen.
Change the oil w/100 mi? I think I can wait for my assraping 600 mi service for that.
 
Nice looking bike! That's a new on me, I've seen Busas with the hump, hump plus grab bar, passenger seat plus grab bar, but never just the passenger seat and no grab bar. Looks pretty good that way!

I took my grab bar off when I got it home and haven't ever put it back on. Keeps the wife from scratching the tail up with rings or nails. Its a snap to go from seet to hump. And it looks good.
