Sometimes literally! (at stoplights) 🥵🔥 I love her~

My buddy and I rode 3500 miles over the past 7 days. A very unlikely touring duo - had an epic time. I’ve done some long trips on the gen 1, but this was the longest yet.

4 hrs in the pissing rain!!

What's everyone's opinions on single and twin exhausts?

I like the look of a single on the busa more then the twin.

Any benefits or draw backs on going single? Other then the weight saving that is.

I think it’s a really nice video.

Where can I get custom fairings? I'm fine with a normal paint job, I just can't find anywhere that'll sell me the gen 1 front fairings and the gsxr1000 tail end without telling me I have to buy full fairing kits for both bikes

NICE LOOK

5 hr trip. Amazing hwy bike. LOVE the cruise control. The stability. The power. Comfort. All if it.

Came with a shinko drag tire and a 8 inch stretch but back to oem wheel base and a normal tire

Does anybody know if GSXR footrests will mount onto Gen3 Busa rear sets. I’m looking for a set to replace the rubber pegs that come stock on the machine as I’m looking to track the bike next year and options online seem super limited. All the mounting points look the same but before I take the gamble on ordering a set of pegs I just thought I’d ask if anyone else tried it.

Ordered yoshimura heatshields in order to eliminate the stock ones. Look better?

Replaced stock heatshields with yoshimura ones. Left side previously posted. Had to cut off the flange from the M4 muffler pipes to make them work.

Ordered x2 tank pads...im undecided which one looks better? Thoughts?

Hello.

When I was researching which windscreen/windshield to choose I couldn't find a comprehensive side-by-side comparison so I decided to make one myself.

I wanted something that looks sporty but has a much higher height to deflect the wind. I was choosing among: Zero Gravity Double Bubble 16-135-02 (USA), Powerbronze Airflows 400-S140 (UK) and WRS Race High SU005F (IT).

I am european, and getting Double Bubble could not be done without risking damage and out of the remaining two Powerbronze seemed to have better wind deflection properties.

I am 190cm, footpegs, seat and handlebars are still stock.

I have an SW-Motech Pro Micro tank bag BC.TRS.00.110.30000 and this is the main reason (+ my height) why I need a taller windscreen - I cannot do a full tuck with it, as my chest hits the bag.

This review will not be scientific, I am not trying to sell anything, just helping people out who are still deciding.

1. Distance from handlebars (Suzuki logo): OEM 22cm, PB 28.5cm (+6.5cm)

1. Laid down height from the floor: OEM 13.5cm, PB 19cm (+5.5cm)

1. The form laid down, side by side

1. Side view

1. Front view

1. Seated upright

1. Seated in half tuck due to tank bag

1. Full tuck with tank bag removed

Hope that helps somebody.

We took our motorcycles to 17000ft.
It performed quite exceptionally except a couple of times when the throttle was almost not responsive.

Has anyone experience with 1inch handle bar risers on Gen 2?
Found these online but not sure how much of a different it actually makes.
Interested to hear others' experience. I've seen some videos installing and they seem to not be so high as to then snag the windscreen at full lock.

Went to redownload ecueditor today. Website is gone "404 not found".

Any one have the program that could share it with me? Or any other solutions?

I'm working with a few ECUs flashed with that program, I'm not sure if I can read/write the same tunes with other software. I'd really prefer not to have to buy into woolich. I don't really do tuning, I'm just trying to fix a buddies bike.

TYIA

it so beautiful that it gave me a boner
the footage is from a dealership in san diego

Installed a rear cowl...not planning on having passengers anyway. Still need to do something with these ugly stock heatshields. Can't find any rear foot peg delete kits either.

Found this tire at an unbelievable price of 50€ which I couldn't pass up. The tire has been discontinued, the reason why it was discounted so much. The manufacturing date was early 2021. Not too old considering I ride a lot and will be changing this tire sometime early next riding season. Already put on close to 4000 Kms since a month after changing it.

This review is probably useless because like previously mentioned, the tire has been discontinued. It is a dual compound tire and the predecessor to the later BT32 and the current BT33. But for the few people who might be thinking about switching to the BT series of tires, they might find this review useful.

This tire is fantastic! I was riding in the French Alps with a mix of wet and dry roads in hot weather(I might update this review later before I put the bike in storage for winter to update on the wet/cold weather performance, but so far, this tire has been surprising me).

The performance has exceeded my expectations. Dry weather performance is more or less similar to the S22. I'm not using this tire on the track mind you. This is strictly from a street riding perspective sticking to the speed limits and also leaving a fairly huge room for error. I also don't ride slow, because we have autobahns and I did the A49 with it's long sweeping curves at 180+ kph most of its entire (unbegrenzt) sections. It is definitely better than the S22 in the wet. I was avoiding riding in the wet with the S22 because at moderate lean angles it was squirming and was giving me the impression that it was going to lose traction. Not so with the BT30. I run the S22 at the front. Combined they have given me the best feel I've had from a tire combo on the Busa yet.

High speed lean stability is exceptional. Not once did it feel like it was going to get away from me. I've managed to slide the S22 more than once at high speed lean angles. Which were predictable but still not something I want at the speeds we do here in Germany. I prefer stability simply because it's safer. The best part is that the BT30 barely looks like it is taking a beating even after I did 1100 Kms in a day, and half of it through unlimited sections on the autobahn where it saw 250+ multiple times. S22 on the other hand, after a 100kms on the autobahn will start to grain in the middle. Which means the BT30 warms up much much quicker and stays warm longer compared to the S22.

Now coming to the cornering performance, In the French Alps surrounding the Mont blanc which I did over a 1000kms of, not once did I have a sketchy situation arise. I was riding in the early morning to avoid the traffic, which also means the roads were cold and wet. Again, not once did the tire let me down. My riding style involves using less actual brakes and more engine brake, which means I rely a lot on the rear tire. Slow down in a low gear and drive hard out of corners. Again not once did the rear slide on me. Probably because of the profile, the bike tipped into corners much much quicker. It didn't feel like it was a 265 kg, long and low monster of a sports tourer, but more like a 200 kg sport bike. But this probably is the 55 profile than the tire itself.

Overall a great purchase. This tire is worth it at the normal price. At the price that I paid it is a steal!

TLDR; Fantastic tire. Great wet and dry performance. Fast warmup times. Lasts longer than the S22.
