Hi all,
Ive been riding on and off since the late 80's, Ive owned
750 Yamaha Seca
650 Yamaha Seca Turbo
750 Honda Nighthawk
750 Yamaha Virago
1200 Yamaha V-Max
I sold my V-Max and now im gathering a set of full leathers and
other sport bike riding gear, then I'll go in search of a new
Busa, I rode my max in chaps/jacket/gloves/helmet, but
the buckles/zippers and stuff on them would scratch up
a sport bike.
I loved the power of the V-Max but the frame was so weak
it would twist under heavy acceleration, and it had bad
headshake over 100 even after doing several mods to try and
eliminate it. I also had to replace the pegs before i sold the bike
since I had scraped a bit off them in the twisties.
Im 35, 5'7" and 260 lbs, and when I sat on the busa it was
a bit high but otherwise comfortable, how much lower can
you get the bike w/o adversely affecting the suspension
and handling?
Anyway cheers, and keep the shiny side up.
