Sweet, congrats on taking the next step...can't wait to see what you end up with!

As long as you arent planning to do alot of track days and such, the busa is a great bike for fun and as a commuter, I think you'll love it if you go that route...I wouldnt mind having one for a long distance ride come to think of it...

Check insurance on all of them too. I know that was a factor when I got my new ride as well.

The long-distance comfort of the Busa is a nice point in its favor, but then the insurance thing is a going point (our ins co does look at the cc's of the bike).... hmmm... so many things to weigh....

GSXR750-- all the comfort you want.... all the power you need.

I've literally never even sat on one actually...

I know everyone's raving about ALL the new GSXR's, but I hadn't even considered them, actually (not that I have anything against them, just hadn't looked at em

)

can't hurt to consider them, I s'pose....

good luck

I def want the busa but the insurance would kill me so I'm gonna wait and see what happens. I might just settle for an older model gsxr1000 they are just as comfy. I do want a newer model bike though it offers such a different and smoother ride.

Good lookin' R1...I love mine.

Insurance won't be a big factor with us. We're with USAA and have been for many, many years. When I got rid of my 97 900RR and added my 05 R1, my semi annual premium went up a whole $20.

Mr Lefty · 07-28-2008, 01:35 PM

true but USAA goes by CC's so your 900RR and your R1 aren't that big a diff... going from a 600 to a 1300 would
