Let me guess............you have never ridden an R1.Way more comfortable and a lot more fun. Once you get use to her you will find out she is everybit as capable as your R1 is in the twistys. good luck and don't forget to post pics here when you get one.
Has the lad with the R1 got a gearbox that only goes to 4th?Only if you want to chew up and spit out your buddies !!!!
I ride with a group of 4 guys. An R1, a 954, and two Busa's. It will shortly be a group of four Busa's, as our Yamaha and Honda friends are tired of being trampled into the pavement and are ready to buy Busa's to keep up !!!
Welcome to the board and enjoy the new Busa you are about to buy...
