Sithor -
If you want to do stunts and such, I would recommend either getting a second bike for the stunts, or selling the Busa to get the bike you want.
The Busa is a kicka$$ ride, I think it is sweet looking, it is about the only thing I would feel comfortable on doing 180+ on land. Maybe even more comfortable than in a car
With that said, the bike in my opinion is too heavy. Everyone criticizes the weight of the Busa “why cant they make it lighter!! Wahhâ€
But the weight is a big part of what makes the bike stable at highspeeds.
The Busa was built for drag racing and high speeds. While just stock, with the right rider she will tear up twisties and keep up with all other bikes. However twisites and stunts is NOT what she was built for.
You can do them. Wheelies are no problem, I have even accidentally did one once, and I was leaning on the tank with my full 225 pounds and she lifted anyway. And with the weight and the steering dampener, she comes down pretty easy.
Stoppies? I think doing a stoppie on the Busa is not such a good idea.
If you can get her a$$ in the air, I think the continued weight of the Busa slaming the back end down will eventually start causing sub frame stress and cracking.
Also when you do a stoppie, that is a lot of weight compressing the front forks, I would think in a short amount of time you would start blowing front fork seals and who knows what else.
Just my .02. Playing with the Busa, doing wheelies on occasion, no big deal.
If you start trying to do lots of stunts on a regular basis, I think you are going to be looking at a lot of maintenance costs down the road.
Just my .02
On the other hand, if you totally ignore this type of advice and do it anyway, take some pics and post them. Also keep us informed of how she holds up. I would be curious on if the Busa could take the abuse or not. But I am thinking it wont. Just too heavy.
Welcome to the board and good luck
