I think the real giveaway is when you pull his left ear back it says made in Taiwan behind it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see you add 500lbs or 260kg to your busa and see how it does in corners... But why would anyone want a bike that weighs over half a ton? My busa weighs 266kgs which is more than enough for a bike and when you say it corners fine I'd love to see that thing give you a smile on a nice fast b road yes maybe in America where they don't know what a corner is the hardly may make some kind of sense but as a motorcyclist a hog is not a bike for enjoyment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in all fairness don't knock it till you try it...it's actually real comfortable bike if you're planning like a long journey..excellent wind protection...it will carry loads of stuff ..even thoe it weight a ton it will carry 500lbs without missing a beat ...it will cruise all day 120 to 140 kph...actually half decent mpg and fuel range..better than a wing..

I have had a test ride of a barge a few years ago and never in my life do I want to throw a leg over another one as long as I live it was bloody horrible, manoeuvring the thing was cumbersome the only time it made any sense was on a dead straight bit of road and even then it felt floppy and disconnected, in the corners the footboard would be scraping the deck at anything more than a slight kink in the road. It was a 2019 street glide special...... it was definitely special alright so special infact that the only place it should live is in the funny farm, in my honest opinion harley riders are akin to vegetables because you'd have to be as stupid as a vegetable to actual willingly buy one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busabeast Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Also what is your perception of good fuel economy, my busa is returning around 50 - 60mpg id be very surprised if a barge gets anywhere near that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I'd still opt for something else rather than a hardly in every setting, long straight road...busa can munch the miles in comfort and at a decent speed comfortably and then should a bend show up it can navigate it without the need to stop and put it on a tow truck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzak Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 The KTM 950sm does all those things, it's comfortable, frugal, handles better than a sportsbike and does dirt as well. I run the fully adjustable WP suspension at zero pre load to enjoy the full 8" of travel, with my Corbin seat I can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
