same same but different with the SV's as well. I tend to use Motul 5100 and it seems to make it go away.

BTW,

I'm 5ft8 and when I ride Custards' GSXR1000K4 I get sore wrists and numb fingers and toes. I felt the Busa was a very comfortable bike to ride.

Whateva you get Quasi just make sure you 'both' take it for a thorough test ride, who knows, the Busa might be an awkward fit for your frame??

From experience, the Blackbird is an exceptional machine, especially 2up, it doesn't feel any different with a pillion on the back! The linked brakes take some getting used to and in the end I got tired of having to give the front brake such a handful to slow it down quick (the 954 brakes shocked me in comparison), but they kept it nice and horizontal under heavy braking! I rode it on the track too and it was again a great performer. As has been touched on, the stock seat is a tad uncomfortable so is best replaced with an aftermarket touring seat for better comfort! The Bird is also a much better looking bike than the Busa IMO, and the Busa is faster in a straight line, even though I never saw one pass me at top speed, eh M1CRO hehe!

Enjoy the new ride when it comes mate!

Ps. Be prepared to adjust to the huge increase in weight from your 636, the BIG bikes are a different ride altogether.

They are no slouch in the corners either with the right pilot, had one chase me coming in to coro with him 2up and had to push fairly hard to escape in the twistie stuff, was cool watchin him get it nice and low through the bends in the mirror (didnt help my lines though)

Biased Busa Boy!

Doesn't matter to me anyway, I have a far sexier machine than them both now!

An odd mix of bikes in your list there, Quasi.

Any interest in big naked muscle bikes? Also if pillion comfort is an issue there are a few on your list that may irritate the piles of your nearest and dearest.

A mate of mine is selling a mint nick ST1100. Almost 100,000km plus bits and bobs for $11,000.

If you're considering a Multistrada you should add the V-Strom.

I wouldn't go for a Hirebus or Blackbird. Not a good fit for the taller rider and ferkin uncomfortable for long trips, unless you added higher clip-ons and a big double-bubble screen.

Multistrada

The Busa feels rock steady at 200+kmph, extremely stable two up with the exhaust nearly scraping the ground and it's brakes very well.

Ask M1CRO for a demo

And it looks wayy better than the "others". Come on mate - you know you want one

**Quasievil** · 18th January 2006, 19:19

Not the Multistrada the DS1000 ss model, I had the 750ss a while back.

the ST1000 Honda is a hell of a nice bike but Im not wanting to leave the sport style completely yet.

I am very keen on the Busa at this stage, might be getting it me thinks but havent made up my mind completely, need to do more reserch
