BlackSunshine,
You are entirely correct. Respect is the key, and this goes for pretty much anything of this nature. The day you stop respecting a machine like this, or any other, is the day you are going to screw up.
You are also correct in saying that the busa is amazing on the highway. I'm still in the break in stage, so I haven't pulled it all the way to redline yet, but have gotten her up to about 175 so far, which didn't take long at all to get to. It's unreal how stable the bike becomes after about 120. When you're going that fast, you try not to look down at the gauges, but the tach needle certainly moves fast!
Yes, I've got a few goodies to install. I plan on starting the installation this weekend, but that all depends on what my work schedule looks like. Here's what I have in the garage waiting to go on:
- TiForce "Sumo" full titanium exhaust
- Brock's P.A.I.R. Valve Removal/Block off plates
- Power Commander w/ custom map
- Airbox modification to increase airflow
- McINTOSH 2-6" over swingarm
- PMR Triple Tree (Black anodized w. pockets)
- Adjustable Drag Links
(Both of the previous items needed to lower the bike)
- Speedo Healer
- Mototeck Undertail (Phantom Gray w. all clear lenses)
- Pazzo Racing Levers (regular length, black/black)
- Muzzys Aluminum fan to increase airflow through the radiator
- Temp. Sensor Relocator to turn the fan on sooner and longer
and finally
- 5k McCulloch HID Headlight kit
That's about it. :grinno:
Not anytime soon, but *eventually*, I plan on building a 1480cc big bore to kick some turbo butts with! This is one of those "may never happen" kind of mods though.
The R1 is an awesome bike, and IMO, nothing can touch it in the twisties. I've heard of a place that is selling them for $9,500 out the door. When you're ready, let me know, and I will look them up for you. :xyxthumbs
