No I don't think I am, the point is it doesn't need more power, I'd say it needs better suspension or a better set up than current and maybe slightly stronger brakes apart from that it's as good as it needs to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they keep getting bought by people like you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can quite happily use my 48bhp CB for what it's designed for.......but if you use the Busa for what it's designed for you're going to jail. So why pay out all that dosh for it (and insurance must be expensive) when you can't use it to it's potential? I've said it many times before......nobody needs more than 100bhp! You might want it.....but you don't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want it.....but you don't need it. I agree 100% you don't need anything bigger than 100bhp on the road. The insurance for me is £600 for the year which is no more than my ninja was so didn't think it was bad, as for the price of it I part ex'd the ninja for put 4.2k in the deal so for the money iv paid I don't think I've come out of the deal too bad. I only bought it because ever since I started riding I'd always wanted one and I had the opportunity to fulfil getting my dream bike so I did, I didn't need it but I wanted it so I got it, as far as tuning goes it's already had a tune of unknown quantity so until I get it dyno tested I don't know just what it's producing but sure as he'll it's not making standard power 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She came up to get me in my car so she ragged it up and back plus I had to buy her and the youngest a Maccy D on the way back. I reckon with the fuel it cost me £40. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
