Q: 4 people on a Busa?

**90s** · 8th August 2007, 23:20

Over in Granville in France I saw a group of bikers, and there were three biker chicks and a male rider on a single Busa.

Looks like a lot of fun eh?

Anyone tried anything as crazy as one of these? I googled busa sidecar and saw some mad pages, with one photo showing on of these cornering on a 45 deg. angle. Apparently they can accelerate faster due to increased traction and not lifting the nose. If true it must be about the fastest geniune accelerating thing on the roads. With three chicks on board (four if one 'driving').

I've always been interested in something like that but they are very expensive to build properly

here's a road test of it

hmmm.... I'm having trouble telling whether you're more interested in the machine or the fact that you could take three chicks for a ride...

Has been very nicely put together though

Woah, looks like awesome fun. Would be a hell of a workout though

Doesnt look to have the lowest center of gravity.

Not sure myself! Thought the bike was pretty cool, then saw the chicks get on and thought the possibilities! The other three bikes in the group were all two up (a fireblade and two blackbirds I think) so someone was a lucky fella.
