thats why everyone riding busas swaps out the forks...shocks...and most commonly swing arm.
theyre shit. -

The one I ride with knows how to tuck and is not afraid of speed. A nagger makes it less enjoyable…lol.
the fuck are drivelling on about.
a bike has a rated capacity which is stated by the manufacturer to be 'safe' to ride with. ive ridden with 100lbs over capacity on bikes and even though things were squirrelly if unnecessarily excessive maneuvers were made they were controllable.
if youre that shitty of a rider you can manually adjust the suspension settings. otherwise dont ride with passengers
'tuck.' because street racing with a passenger is always a good idea
youre an idiot and youre giving the impression your bike racing experience consists of BMXs with the other kids in your elementary school behind the tree line -

200 mph is retarded for an everyday rider. No need at all. Most bikes will do 150 easy.
I did 165 on my vtx and it scared the shit out of me,backed her down.
Handling in the twisties is also important. I like curvy roads.
its not even about being 'scared'
ive ridden my bike on a '45mph' curve countless times at 60mph or 75mph with no difficulty. i went through it at 50mph one time over some 'shit' on the road and fishtailed halfway down the road. -
2018-06-06 at 5 PM UTC‘Busa’s are actually a touring bike
They are listed as such
Not a “racing” bike
Ppl set them up to drag,though on nitrous and extended swing arms,but no one is road racing a ‘busa. -

I went to a moto America event a couple years ago and couldn’t believe how little all the dudes were,but it makes sense.
30 lbs of body weight can make a huge difference in time and most of those guys wreck a lot,so smaller guys can take more punishment.
you should see horse jockeys...
smaller guys can take more punishment because gravity has less of effect on the lighter weight. the saying 'the bigger they are the harder they fall' is accurate -

thats what i was saying...they aftermarket-fuck them to death and they lose any manufacturer-instilled reliability. the ones that blow out the swing-arms are only creating more headaches for themselves. yea...they accelerate better but have fun trying to make a tight turn -

if top speeds what you want, get a rocket or a rocket propelled bike.
bikes are made for one and only one thing :
accele fucking ration. -

Right. ‘Busa’s have become the drag bike because they are cheap. You can pick one up for 5-6k. Honda’s engines are all about reliability and liability (Honda is a huge Corp) Kawasaki have always been a bit nuts on the speed and hp,cuz they have less to lose.
Bmw k1600gt could be dragged out,but whose fuckin up a $27,000 motorcycle when you can fuck yo a $6,000 one? -

and they have potential. the engines can be modified to give decent top end/acceleration...but thats it
if you want bullshit pricing...S1000RR
