he will learn the hard way just hope i dont see a R.I.P. thread for him but the way he's talking sounds like no matter what anybody tells him it doesnt matter he knows it all. When you get a chance post up a pic of your busa so when i see you i can go the other way and not share a lane with you. I know you dont want to hear it but you have absolutly no business on a busa with no experience you must not wanna live for much longer i think you need to sell it and start with a 600 or something that will be fast enough for you for atleast a year you shouldnt think about only yourself but also your parents. THEY DONT WANT TO GO TO YOUR GRAVE ON YOUR BIRTHDAY AND LAY FLOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The extended swingarm is not going to stop you from driving it through a minivan.

 

These are the good ole TR.com squid post that I missed oh so much while I was in the sand box.

Makes me wonder at first if its some kinda joke.
Good luck buddy.

 

Just out of curiosity... what bike/bikes have you had before the busa?

I could maybe understand a 1k... But why a busa?

Every guy i have talked to that is my age (19) and rides a busa says the same reason why they ride a busa... "it looks pimp... girls... fastest bike...ect

Serously bro...id say step down and get a bike you can have more fun w/...

 

I was less worried about flippin my busa then railing it into a car or laying it down... but hey.. to each their own.. and I would like to know what bikes you rode before the busa as well..

 

An ext swingarm is not going to keep you from looping it. Why would you be worried about that

 

i would like to apologize for my childish remarks and i now notice that the remarks some of the members of this thread made are out of worry or fear that i may get hurt riding a bike that i am not capable of controlling i thought they were down right ridicule and bad mouthing insted of seeing them for what they really are i understand i am young and i dont seem to have a good bike expierience(sp) but i have been riding since i was a little kid (12) on dirt bikes then to little street bikes 250cc at 14 or so and a 1000 at 16 for a while and no i didnt own the bikes my cousin has had multiple bikes and thats where i learned to ride i am sincerely sorry for the ridiculous statement i made and hope you all will accept my apology.. thank you and please keep the posts coming with help for my 'Busa, John

 

sport bike concepts has everything you could want for a busa and its all in stock no waiting, their website is www.18889chrome.com or you can go to thier shop in orlando

 

i dont believe that the bike needs lowering, as much as help with handling and braking.

better suspension components (the KYB forks are simply aweful)
better brakes..... (bin the tokicco 6 pots for ANYthing else)

perhaps, if you are afraid you wont control the bike, some rider education/improvement classes are in order.

im speaking from 14 years experience here (started riding @ 19) and know that education is paramount.......... im not trying to look down whatsoever..

good luck, and post pics. (what color didya get?)

ps- have you ridden it yet? its quite user friendly ya know. by extending the arm you lose alot of cornering ability, and dont make the bike any safer.

 

Honestly, I think a throtle stop set at maybe 1/4 quarter would be a much better investment then a swing arm. The speed and power is what will get addicting and you need to take it easy at first. Make the throtle stop adjustable so as you feel more confident you can alow yourself more power. Good luck and ride safe.
