Sitting is not a sport!

Sitting is not a sport. There is no World Champion of Sitting. No governing body to ensure that when two people try to out sit each other, they do it by the rules. Because sitting is not a sport.

Unfortunately, most people who buy a busa do just that. They hit the starter button, raise the kickstand, gently release the clutch and sit their a$$es off. There's nothing wrong with these people. They just bought the wrong bike. A busa is not designed to be sat on. It's designed to be hung off of, moved around on, constantly manipulated beneath the rider. A self-propelled platform upon which a sport takes place.

Before you buy a busa, take a moment to think about what you really want to do on it. If the answer involves sitting, you may want to consider something different. A porch swing maybe or one of those floating pool chairs?

Owning a busa has :rulez:

Some people buy it for Drag , others for carving the corners , some like to tour on it and yes some people just like to get out on the open road and get away from all the stress of day to day living. Who are you to tell anyone what they can and can't do , and what the bike is meant for. That is why the Busa is so loved and has been around as long as it has, because you can do just about anything with it and it will do it good. It even makes a great porch swing. This post is pretty much non-informative and just looking to argue with someone. Enjoy life and ride your Busa however the hell you want to. I think I will go swing on the porch this weekend just for the hell of it.

I guess you don't see the humor in Tuf's post. Don't take yourself so seriously! Raydog

Ever tell a joke to a friend and when you hit him with the punch line he gives you that blank stare?

Takes all the fun out of it, eh?

Well partly it's about knowing the poster, their style, their past posts, your knowledge of their expertise, etc. It just comes from being here and reading thousands of posts on hundreds of motorcycle subjects! No offense to you for being fairly new, all is cool! I have to go now, I'm going to the garage to practice hangin off in my pj's. Raydog

Umm.... No, sorry you've got the wrong bike UNDER YOU... Plain and simple. What you've just described is text book supersport bikes. The Busa is NOT a supersport. Think GSXR 750, 1000, or similar products from all the big four Japanese manufacturers. Not 550 lbs of softly sprung, stretched out, hypersport/sport touring bike.

CAN you hang off and be constantly squirreling around like you've got some sorta disorder, too much caffeine in you, or have been watching FAR too much Moto GP? Certainly. But doing so on a Busa, especially on the street is much ado about nothing. Maybe it makes you "FEEL" fast, or perhaps makes you feel talented, but all that effort is still doing nothing more than upsetting a sled, that responds much better (as do all bikes) with smooth controlled inputs to the controls and a desire to be efficient and smooth. All the dancing around on the pegs, is little more than a squiddly show. Not too mention the popo LOVE it when you're squirreling around on your bike...

Not saying one should perch there on the seat like a lump. But after spending years out there behind both types of riders, the over caffeinated GP fan and the smooth experienced rider that KNOWS what kind of bike the Busa is. The smooth rider is more graceful, quicker, less tired, and much more in tune with the bike. He's far less likely to upset the bike mid corner or when entering a corner, and cause he/she isn't wasting all this effort on the show, they are much more likely to be aware of the road, their line, and other riders near them.

I'll continue and add that MANY people that buy the Busa have done so for all the wrong reasons. They are chasing an image, needing to inflate their already grandiose egos, and have little or no business on a 600cc sportbike, let alone 550lbs of angry. Used to see them, one after another coming into the dealership dead set on a Busa cause of all the hype, regardless of their obvious lack of skill, experience, and physical size. Three outta five or so would be back a week or so later, Busa's destroyed or in the shop, baffled and AMAZED that they crashed...

So in Closing there uh... PUFbusa next time you decide to puff up and decide what MOST Hayabusa riders are doing wrong you should maybe check yourself and realize that just because MOST of any group is doing something a particular way, doesn't mean your minority view/habits are by necessity gifted or indicating any special insight or talent.

Absurdly serious? Absurd? Sorta like Tufbusa insinuating that squirrely antics are the required and correct way to ride 550 lbs of motorcycle? :whistle:
