You should have no problem keeping up through the twisties on the road. Busas handle fine, just need a little more physical input than the average wuss bike :mrgreen: Look out for Anthony Cooper and Richard Renton Cooper's videos for Gen2 Busa track action :twisted:

Of course, in my case it's not the Busa that doesn't do bends well, it's the inept rider =:)

Although I've only ridden 70 miles I found the bike reassuring in the bends, albeit with a delicate throttle for now. It's certainly giving me confidence to try pushing a little harder as I get used to it. For normal riding it's almost too stable, I needed to keep checking the speedo as I found the numbers climbed unbelievably quickly without the sensation of speed through the bike that I'm used to.
