i get in the habit of killing my engine w/ the kickstand. even if your in N if its the first thing you do you never have to worry about it.

I do that too... roll up in first gear, stop, put the kickstand down and the bike shuts off. Then I flip the killswitch and pull the key.

I don't think i've ever killed a bike w/ the kickstand....


And I came close to droppin' my katana like that once.... thought I ripped a nut when I was fighting to keep that thing from going over. Those damn Kan-o-tuna's got a lil' bit of weight on 'em.

The Busa weighs in a few lbs less than my Katana I used to have actually (if i remember right, lemme dig up the specs).


Just double checked, closest year w/ specs was 91... pulled in at 445. Busa's 485.


not bad for such a huge increase in performance.....

BTW looked up some of the other years, they tend to hover right at 445/440lbs.
