Very true. I'll be happy with whatever she gets, even if she changed her mind and got a (shudder) GSXR.

However i'm partial to the Busa because of the deal we can get on it and we know the maintance done on it and how it was ridden.

Busa.....people may say that I'm partial because I ride one but comfort wise, the R1 can't compare. Besides....you know the owner and if something goes wrong with it, you can make him feel guilty.

Actually while the seat on the Busa is more comfy (and there's more wind protection) the riding position isn't THAT different between the two.


And LMAO!! Nah, I'd never do that...

The busa is just not an attractive bike I don't care how comfortable it is.

The R1 is a friggin gorgeous bike.

Da Bulls, Da Bears, Da Busa...Simply for the comfort, overall usability, and street cred. It'll go 2 up, drag race, handle twisties, go 4 states in a day. pull serious leg (I know your not going to do that, but if you are I wanna watch) and it goes well with cleavage! Post pics when yours comes in!!!

See now I agree with EVERYTHING else you said but that. The whole "street cred" thing just isn't my cup of tea. In fact, the kind of "street cred" the Busa gets around here is probably one of the ONLY things I have against the bike.
