To be fair it only requires 1 gear down and it's fine so I can probably live with it, I want to get it on a dyno though to see what is going on

Needs a clean and polish though

So just got the beast out of the stable and under the rear seat is A power commander 5 and auto tune module and the box for the transontranslogic quick shifter. Looking at the exhaust it would seem to be a full yoshimura stainless system So I'm going to hazard a guess its not quite as standard as I thought it was, but the modifications are in good taste I think be interested to see if the airbox mod and sports airfilter have been installed too

I don't think it's exactly a state, the only thing out of place slightly is that tail pack I think if it was another box it would look right even if it would make it look abit goldwing-ish

Hmmm I'd honestly have to say from a biased point of view yes. The thing is this bike is literally in a league of its own I honestly do believe that there's nothing else road biased that can beat it, yes where Pete goes on his travels the cb500x may well do a better job than the beast but on the tarmac there's not much if anything that will live with it. So it's an each to their own answer it does what Pete needs of it as does the busa for my needs

They are just sublime mate, looking at them they don't look that comfortable but 120 miles was no issue and I'm not exactly what you'd call conditioned to long distance riding, I'm extremely happy with it

I know right, lives in Wales and moans it's raining, should have lived in England

Hmmm sounds like the barge captain has been drinking again

I think you need your x2 glasses on Fred

And who might that man be?

Could we rename yours the barge captain

That woman in red is going quick...looks like the speed of light almost

It does? I never heard that one before it doesn't feel like a monkey humping a football, maybe a monkey strapped to a cruise missile

Oooh some van action?

You been talking to my wife

Nah I'm going to go with busabeast..... its final

Tbh I think it looks like a well thought out luggage system, well balanced at any rate. It suits the himalayan

Thanks Clive, I may very well take it for an outing next time I do a trackday, just because....

It was just in Peterborough services....a quick comfort break was needed

It is exactly that, dropping to 5th is the only way to combat it

Mine has a 4 in to 1 and a quick shifter....I'm guessing it's a full system, it needs the fueling sorted as it's jittery with on off throttle

Exactly that.....

Hey Caroline offered you're expenses so it would be rude of me to turn it down and you wouldn't want to show yourself up in front of a lady would you now

Yeah that's a point I could always just get Pete to pay for it all just because..... Come on old man dig deep @XTreme

As you full well know 95 on the busa is just too easy, I can't afford to not have self restraint..... What the fuck have I just done
