with more practice ı'm getting used to her by the way ı'm writing from istanbul/turkey greetings to every one(BusaWhipped @ Jul. 02 2007,20:11) Its been said before, but I think its worth saying again. Work on being smooth, and the speed will come.
Andwhere in the world are you from?
you are definetly right but what ı did to my previous bike (1000rr) is lowering the front end about 3 cm (metric) equals to 1.2 or 1.3 inches which is really working but in busa you said raise the rear about 1 inch which is possible here, is really helpfull for sharp cornering and better ground clearance(Shibumi @ Jul. 02 2007,15:59) With your experience, just treat it like a big 1000- it will lean until it scrapes hard parts (try a set of raising links to raise rear 1" and have quicker turn-in and more ground clearance).
As stated above, gradually increase corner speed until you learn where the limit is.
Who are you calling 'old'?(Wag @ Jun. 27 2007,03:01) Take it a little at a time. The most common solo bike accident is in corners by new bikers or old bikers on new bikes. You have to take it a little at a time; there's no rush.
At the beginning, it is not necessary to try to hang off the side of the bike. In fact, just ride it slow through corners and do the usual: Keep your head up, eyes looking through to the end of the turn, focus on staying smooth and keeping good maintenance throttle.
As you get more and more smooth, your confidence will increase but still, don't overdo it. Keep control. If you're practicing on the streets and canyons, always stay below 70% of your ability. Above all, if you're riding in a group, just go your own pace. If you try to keep up with more experienced riders, you're playing with fire and you're going to get burned.
Those are the basics. Most important of all, stay alive to ride another day!
