Sure it's a little bigger/heavier than I'd want on a daily basis especially in the twisties but still a good solid riding bike. With the recent brake upgrade he's done...makes it even better.

Oh yeah...it didn't hurt in the fun department that his is turbocharged and at the time was putting down around 250 rwhp.
The reason I got it is because it's the perfect bike for my riding style and my size. I'm 6' tall and just can't get comfortable on a smaller one. I love long distance riding and the Busa is the perfect cruiser. I just put Corbin seat and Helibars on her and I can ride this thing all day.

Default She hit 65,000 this morning

After this morning's ride, she went over 65,000 miles. She's now 2 years and 7 months old.
I just wanted to share.

I'm not sure why low forks have anything to do with lowering the bike unless the spring rates are hella soft.

That is very clean bike for 65k...but Busas are just too heavy for my tastes and they are hard to split lanes.

Same here. Forged wheels just looks bad ass. Too bad they don't make them for my bike, not that I could afford them anyway.

I don't know this for sure but CNC'd wheels look cool to me, most of our bikes come with forged wheels...
