Finally had a weekend that was not too cold and NO rain, so I was able to take the 05 on the longest ride I have taken yet, 250miles. I rode from Colorado Springs to Buena Vista for breakfast at the EverGreen Cafe....they have the BEST Huevos Rancheros I have ever had. After that, I stopped at Bongo Billy's coffee shop for a "Milky Way" double latte'.
I am impressed at how well the Busa handled the whole ride which was 100% on hwy 24. Lots of up and downs and curves.... I have done this ride loads of times on the Goldwing, but this is the first on the Busa. There is a 10 mile stretch of road between Wilkerson pass and Harstel, Co that is very straight and I managed to hit high triple digits (early morning...NO other traffic!) which was good fun. I kept it around the speed limit for the majority of the ride though and managed to get 50 mpg! (Wing last weekend got 43mpg on same ride, 2 up).
The Corbin seat was a butt saver, but I would like to have a throttle lock...
