In that pic I would peg you at about 20-23 with a 16-year-old baby face, but I'd have to see others to make an accurate comparison.

Nice lookin' bike cody, but with it's current state, it's only good in a straight line.

I just bought a YZF600r to play with. It's out of commission at the moment though. I'm doing many many things to it.

Ride safe bro. ATGATT I hope.

Thanks all....iv been dealing with looking young my whole life, so not a big deal. I just look at it as, "man im a good looking 18YO"

Surprisingly after riding the busa....handling is still pretty darn good. It almost feel more flickable....however as you start to get into the turn I notice that it takes more effort to bring the bike down lower when just using my hands. But if I lean on the peg and push/pull it rolls in very nice.

It feels just a HAIR too low....so what im going to do, is up my preload as its currently maxed out for LOWNESS. So its a bit springy....very smooth but I can tell there isnt enough preload. Ill raise the rear around an inch or so.

hey dude take care the first tiem you flinging it into a corner where you have to get off the bike.

i gave up riding. but not until i knocked the front end off of a fiero GT, and later totalled my knee. it is fun to run if you know what i mean.

they didnt have BUSA's back then. the suzuki gs150es was the bad new bike. all i had was a 750SS honda, a 1973 honda 350g, a honda 400 hondamatic(knee surgery), and a yamaha 180 enduro 4 stroke.

lower = worse handling for bikes doesnt it? sure looks sick though
Click to expand...

yes and no. lower center of gravity helps handling. but being so low, the lean angle is diminished.
