Mines not anywhere near 100 Lbs over anymore. And 2" might or might not be significant, depending on where the weight and all, that being said it's a twisty bike so the weight should be short and high. I'm not saying it's not a torque monster. But I would have to see a wheelie obtained after the bike was going 120mph to believe it on a stock bike.
They asked me if I wanted one. Got a hanging tag to put through the glovebox lock on the Wing if I need it
Screw that, I want to know if he can ride a wheelie all the way down the 1/4 mile on his BUSA?!?
As do all sportbikes
I don't know what to tell you.. 3rd gear power wheelies are not uncommon with today's literbikes... when you are in second gear and approaching redline at just over 100mph and slam it up to third, if you are not tucking in over the front, it absolutely can bring the front end up if you are in the meat of your powerband...
A busa is designed to win at the drag strip, and as a result, the weight bias, length and chassis design is intended to keep the front down as much as possible.
Literbikes are designed to be much lighter, much shorter and they are far more wheelie prone as a result. What makes them better on a race track, makes them more prone to wheelies... what makes the busa less prone to wheelies, makes it slower around a race track...

4th near redline could do one more shift, but that takes some time. When I get the air shift installed I can play with shift points somewhat.
I would think 4th gear redline would be somewhere around 180+.
143 would be about third gear redline no?
Genuinely curios. Wondering if you are shifting sooner than I would for some reason. I know on my buddies busa that tire would usually leave the ground around 8 k under hard acceleration no matter what gear it was in.
