Track Day Pics 08/23/05 NHIS

Okay I'm gonna take this spot to beat up on the busa that I saw running on this track day. This is all meant in good fun really and most importantly only <!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START--><span style="text-decoration:underline">my</span><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END--> opinion...which means squat!<br><br>I've been really interested in the busa as a suitable replacement / addition to my current rides (of course giving something up to fit them in my shed). The busa was something I believed would be comparable in handling to our fzr1000's due to its comaprable size and weight (I know power goes to the busa yadda yadda yadda).<br><br>But after seeing the busa struggle at the track from someone that has been driving them exclusivley for over 5 years...I've had a change of heart. It was struggling in the corners and could barely keep corner speed up - compared to myself with just 2 track days experience. I'm not fast in the corners...but comparably I was banking like the millenium falcon against the busa. Yeah I know...different riders different animals but I THOUGHT it would be very similar. That busa was touching down everywhere....dragging all but the mirrors, it had really limited corner speeds. <br><br>I was lead to believe from some videos I have watched that compared the busa and zx12 favoritively and I really cant imagine the busa as a nimble bike any longer. The videos made me think it was comparable to our 15 year old litre bikes in handling nimbleness. It is not. Despite being approximately 30lbs heavier than our bikes - it gives cedit to how much our 535lb bikes hide that weight. <br><br>And makes me very happy to own something of this vintage. Although there were some representative bikes from the early 90's and even some venerable fzr600's, the only other fzr1000 was that of ricerockets mint ride. That kind of exclusivity is what I like.<br><br>I am eagerly but patiently awaiting the motor to put back in my original 90fzr and designate that as my track bike. One that will get more track time - getting my corner speeds up and perhaps a knee or two down ~with pucks~ <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:steelblue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:medium;">-John </span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v485/ ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... cement.jpg" target="top">1995 FZR1000</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... 00x600.jpg" target="top">1990 FZR1000</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... resize.jpg" target="top">1990 FZR1040</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p072.ezboard.com/bexupbrotherhoo ... >jjs777</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v485/ ... states.gif" BORDER=0> at: 8/26/05 9:11 am<br></i>

AHHH!<br><br>I'd also like to throw in a comment that this is the 90fzr that I raised nearly 2 inches with shorter dog bone links. I wanted to see how she'd handle.<br><br>I think this was a very nice setup for the track. I dunno if the raised rear attributed to the excessive wear on the rear tire as compared to my oem links on the 95 bike that has different tyres all together (powers)<br><br>I maintain that raising the rear between 1/2 inch and perhaps as much as 1.5 inches is desirable if not outstanding. 2 inches may be a bit too much for normal riding. Please note I do NOT have an aftermarket shock so this no doubt would have to be accounted for. Rear ride height could prolly be adjusted with a better shock and fine tuning rather than links. But for me the links worked out nicely. <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:steelblue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:medium;">-John </span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v485/ ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... cement.jpg" target="top">1995 FZR1000</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... 00x600.jpg" target="top">1990 FZR1000</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... resize.jpg" target="top">1990 FZR1040</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>
