actually isn't the busa cheap for insurance? someone was telling me that the GSXR1000 was like 100 more a month for them than the busa was... cause the busa with some companies is classified as a sport tourer not a super sport.
oh well.... hopefully you can get through to the kid... and if he want's a busa... he'll put it off a couple years... |

Insurance cost will vary by state and ins company. the busa was a grand more than a 1000 cc bike for me |

Damn man. This kid is in over his head for sure. Hopefully he's sensible and can stay alive.

UPDATE!!! After talking to this guy we convinced him into buying a smaller cheaper bike.. I went to the stealership with him and we talked to the sales manager... The kid got a gsxf 500, out the door 5500. he got his 1000 deposit back, so he can buy some gear and other shit he wants... I rode it back to his dorm for him.. Glad I was able to make him see the light.....
