Default Reliability, Goldwing V Busa

Guess I can stop worrying about how the tranny will hold up to all that weight. Lets see somebody do this with a Busa .

I sure as heck hope that thing has brakes of it's own!
I would hate to have to try and stop all that weight with the bikes brakes.....

No kidding... If the bike dropped, it would be skidding forever.

Lots of progress lately, I think I've gotten more done in the last week that I have in the last year. I'll post some pics soon.

Cool video.

I happened to see a Goldwing with a sidecar and pulling the largest m/c trailer I've ever seen this afternoon I-65 south of Louisville, KY. There were three people on/in it and it didn't appear to have any problem pulling the load at all. It was running 80ish on the highway.

True but you don't see many goldwings competing in superbike classes. LOL! AS with most things it just depends on the desired end result.Personally I don't see why more GW's aren't used for minis.

Its all top do with association, Busa equals young punk that can ride wheelies on the highway, and the gold wings equal old man with droopy top ol lady crusing down route 66... BDK may revolutionize the industry...

How many wrecked goldwings do you see? Almost none compared to the amount of wreck superbikes.
