Ok so let me tell ya...
I have been riding for quite a few years but have always rode a cruiser. I came from a pretty powerful ride. She had 60HP, about 65Torque, redlined at 6250 rpms and weighed about 650 pounds. Oh yeah she hauled butt!
So let me ask you... Since moving to the Ultimate Sportbike (derr the Hayabusa) I am trying to get used to riding differently (I am at about 500 miles since I bought it 2 weeks ago.) I am trying like heck to figure out how you launch on these things with more than 1/16th throttle and not feel like you are going to get thrown off the back? I mean what position do I need to be in to get a good launch on these things and not feel "out of control?" Anyone have pictures or descriptions of feet/body positions I can look at for maximum control? I am looking to sign up for a serious riding class (Keith Code type stuff) but would like some pointers before then if possible.
Stupid question I know. I am used to riding a sofa though. This Busa is much more comfortable than my cruiser and the power is out of this world. AND I haven't even gone over 8000RPM yet!
Thanks in advance everyone,
Spike
