That Busa is so dreamy and Anthony's vids are tremendous! It'll take some time, but my first gen Busa is definitely gonna be built for cornering. The handling characteristics of the first gen reminds me quite a bit of the 04 Daytona 955i I had. Not ultra nimble by a long shot, but still fun to lean. And it has a couple more ponies. Great vid gents!

At one point I had an 07 1098s Ducati, 08 Honda Fireblade and a 2010 Hayabusa. The Ducati broke a shift spring in the transmission at 1500km which was repaired under warranty finally… then spun the main bearings at 13500km causing a 9k bill. The Honda had a crank issue (primary drive hardness) and grenaded the trans at 24500k resulting in a 5k bill which Honda refused to acknowledge and the Busa did 89,000k before I sold it without fault even though it had a full Akra and power commander quickshifter from day one.😅

Years ago I had a 2002 busa that I set up for track days. It was one of the most fun bikes I've ever rode of the track, it fit how I rode back then, really miss that bike. I worked almost everything on that bike. engine had a +4mm piston kit, cams, billet bits throughout, suspension was done, geometry was changed to make it corner better. It was tuned, and had a quick shifter... used to get a lot of question when pulling up to the track from people that never seen it before. it was also my street bike so I had to do all the changes with a purpose and forethought. Still deeply thinking about getting a Gen 3 and setting it up like that bike was.... loved the video, thank you.... really brought the memories of that bike back in my head.

I can really see the temptation in doing these mods. Years back I moved from a GSXR1000 K7 to a ZZR1400, which I modified with different dog bones to increase ride height after my first track day with it. I also used a high profile rear tyre to increase the turn-in and improve the handling massively. Sadly, after about 18 months I let it go because it was just too quick for road use.
@theonlyredspecial2 ай бұрын

@mortaljorma692 ай бұрын
I have exactly the same gen 2 and it's stupid fast. It's also super stable at higher speeds. I previously had s1000rr and comparing the stability at higher speeds, busa wins out every time. It feels like the faster you go, the better it behaves. Most dangerous feeling for me is that when going faster with busa, it does not really feel like going fast - not until i need to brake :D Also, doing 1300km day trips with busa is very comfy.

I have modded mine in a similar way, ohlins forks ear shock. Brembo brakes etc. Makes for an awesome bike with an engine that is SUPERB and bullet proof. Tbh, I don't get what the fuss is all about with a busa on track, you see plenty of different types of machines out on a track days and at the end of the day, it's track day not racing where the Times would really matter and the current machines are needed. Think too many people get hung up with gotta have the latest greatest superbike\sportsbike for a track day. 👍
