How are the brakes?

The brakes on my Mk 1 busa were a little... disappointing

Better with the Brembo's, but not massively better.. I've had 4 Busa's over the last 10 years and not really found the brakes an issue, but I did put Bendix RR pads in the 2 mk1's which did make a difference..

I guess the Busa isn't everyone's cup of tea style-wise, but for a bike to put a smile on your face when the throttle is pinned, takes some beating.. Nail it in any gear, any speed, single or 2 up its guaranteed to make you grin...

The first few weeks I had mine, I found myself giggling like an idiot every time I opened the throttle.

This was me at Woodbridge on my last Busa

Evening all

 

Thought I'd say hi...

 

Previous bikes:

 

Suzuki SV650S - 1st Bike, loved it but could never get my feet under the tank flares

 

 

KTM 560SMR - Road legal(ish) - bought it off Ady Smith with a few hours on it - kick start only, no stand, no clocks, no indicators, no fuel reserve, full titanium Akra - power wheelies in 4th without effort, now wish I'd never sold it:

 

 

Triumph Daytona 675 - Stunning engine, beautiful chassis, only had 1000 miles on it when WVM punted me into a hedge and wrote it off at less than a month old :(

 

 

KTM 990 Adventure S - Wonderful machine, took it to some interesting places like Elefantentreffen 2010 & Five big KTMs do Morocco

 

 

Current bike:

 

KTM 1190 RC8 - What can I say, fell in love with the prototype in 2005, owned one in 2013

 

 

 

 

That's it, there was a DRZ400SM in there somewhere but can't seem to find a picture...

Haha, yes, I've never been a huge fan of IL4...

 

Which is ironic, given that I've just bought an Octavia vRS

Bit of an eclectic mix there and nothing I would have considered for myself to be fair but that is what makes bikes so good I think.  We all have different tastes and as a general rule there is something out there for us all.  It is good to have folk on here that don't ride BMW!!!

Took me a while to find the right bike

 

To be honest my perfect garage would have the RC8, the Adventure, and the SMR in it, but reality limits me to one at a time

 

The only factor that links my favourite bikes is the manufacturer, can't see myself buying anything but another KTM unless they do something silly...
