I am not a racer nor do I intend to be .. The Busa in my opinion is a GT bike but the Gen 1s had to weakeness IMO Brakes were 90s I have upgraded so that is resolved... cammed and geared for top speed low end is lackluster. To some degree the gen 2 bikes address this. (My B King comes off the line almost as hard as the Ducati it replaced. with Brakes that are every bit as good) My goal is increased torque acrossd the curve but especially at the low end. that combined wth an earlier spool up for the extra volume. Life expectancy on low compression turbos are not significantly different that stock bikes. Data indicates the weakest point in this kind of conversion is of all places valve guides. I will be doing the Oil Galley conversion at the same time (assuming I go this route.)
