Anything over a 750 is going to be dangerous.
There are pro's and cons about a Busa as a first bike.
My position used to be NO WAY!! NOT A BUSA AS A FIRST BIKE.
But then I started to actually think about it and not just react.
Litre bikes will pull just as hard as the Busa, as a matter of fact litre bikes will usually keep up with a Busa until the higher speeds, then the Busa really shines and will start to pull away.
I think about 150 (guessing) is about when the Busa will start to pull a litre
So with that in mind, what do we have? We have a litre bike that is lighter, shorter and way more prone to accidentally wheeling than a Busa
Being that the Busa is running about 150 pounds heavier than a litre bike, while the front end will come up, it wont do it as easily as the Busa.
So, for anything under 150 I feel on a Busa a person is less likely to accidentally loop the bike.
Ok, what about higher speeds. The Busa is dangerous because it can go much more faster than a litre bike.
Well. Pretty much anything over 10 mph can kill you. But when you get up to the tripled digits I think it is less of a mater of how fast you are going and more of a matter if you are going to hit something.
If you come off a bike at 200mph and hit a tree. You are dead
If you come off a bike at 100mph and hit a tree, guess what? You are still dead
Difference between a lighter bike and the Busa is the Busa is heavier and is more aerodynamic and more stable at high speeds
There are more opportunities to get squirrelly on a litre bike than there are to get squirrelly on a Busa (in my opinion all things considered).
Where do I stand now? To be honest I still have not drawn a conclusion for myself yet. But I can say I am not totally against a new rider getting a busa as I used to.
Now if you are deciding between a Busa and say a 500cc motorcycle, then yes, start on the 500cc motorcycle. But if someone is going to get a 750cc or more motorcycle for their first bike. I think he maturity factor comes into play more so than the type of bike, because like I said, they will all kill you and they will all kill you fast
