Busas are MAD crazy bikes... and yes, they will do 80mph in first gear w/o an issue. This is why tangie doesn't want one.

I am sure I've seen that vid on my motorcycle forum as an example of a "squid" (think ricer on a bike). What makes me wanna cry is that poor bike in the second pic which isn't even past its break-in period, and some jackass has it d@mn near redlining. :cry: Poor bike.

People do stupid things on bikes... and yes, I have been around enough squids to have seen some in person. My speedo was registering somewhere above 100mph (my bike's speedo waivers when it is overheating) and sure enough some of the @ssholes I was riding with were doing standup wheelies in the dark on an interstate where there was traffic... I just stayed back far enough so I could swerve around them "if" they fell...
