So my final ride on the ninja definitely was nice even though slightly uncomfortable what with it being a sports bike and me having 260 miles to cover by a moderately reasonable time so I had to push my riding stints longer than I'd been wanting but it was eventually dispatched in around 4 hours or so. A restless nights sleep then followed for one reason or another and I woke slightly later than I'd planned too, so it was a rush around getting ready for the hours ride to where my new steed lay in wait. So the deal was struck with part ex and my taking of the busa after a quick test ride and although I only took it on a 10 minute test ride I'd already bought it in my head. So what can I tell you about the beast ermm well its comfortable and ballistic, vert refined around town happy to bomble around town at 30mph in top gear and it doesn't require dropping any cogs to get it to pick up speed, I shit you not that at 30 in top if you twist the throttle you're at licence losing speeds within about 3 seconds. I'm not sure what if any difference there is between the rider modes as I couldn't really determine any real changes between a, b or c they are all silly fast modes. It's equally extremely happy to blast along at fast m/way speeds with ease 90mph comes around a 5k with an 11k redline. As for comfort I had my tank bag with me so it was something for me to lean on abit though the screen keeps the weight off the hands and wrists on the m/way, the seat is comfortable though it is extremely wide and could do with being abit better contoured as it was digging in to my legs abit making it the limiting of how far I can go in a stint so it's something that I will look to get changed in time. The seat to pegs distance is almost perfect I think another 2 inches more between them and for me it would be literally all day rideable. The bodywork has a few blemishes but it is 13 years old so I couldn't really expect concourse condition but there are a few little bits I'll be tidying up. The only thing that I really need to get sorted is the fueling as it's very jittery on very slight throttle so my first step will be to put some fuel system cleaner through a few tanks and see if that helps.5 points

I've spent all day preparing for some van action. I had a go at fitting the Beta in the marmite wagon and it fits with room to spare just have to strap the front end down 2 inches to get it in That was the quick part the rest of the day i made a frame to hold the bike in place with some old ply and fencing timber i had kicking about Ok now i need to get on a ride there's one in Dolgellau in a few weeks waiting to see if its full now5 points

Pete, I’ve had to send this as a private message so as not to enrage the other forum members but I can’t keep extolling your virtues and frankly, biging-you-up for no recompense. I think the time has come to make the first of the agreed payments otherwise I’m going to have to tell them the truth the next time they question your virility or stature. Anyway, the ball is in your court. I hope you have a good time tonight with you Spanish lady friend, cheers Skippy5 points

Actually, one of my distant relatives on my mum‘s side was in fact, the tallest man in the world at one time. His name was George Auger and he was 8‘3“ tall and served as a copper for a period of time in Cardiff. Google it and learn something.5 points

I'm trying to find a word not to offend you Pete.... To me it look's like you were born with a deformaty... Like sometimes someone is born with different length of legs...?4 points

I have very long legs for my height and a very short body! This is 1978 with my eldest who's now 45. I remember going to buy a new Transalp in Shrewsbury Honda Centre and the sales guy (who was taller than me) sat on the bike and he was on tip toes. He then said that I'd better check out the seat height to see if I found it OK. I sat on it and I flatfooted with both legs bent......he looked at me completely bewildered!4 points

He's always complaining about peoples' BOTM pics because he never wins it. I've told him to take his bike out of the fucking van and he'd have a better chance, but he won't listen.3 points
