The Busa as a first bike is not a death sentence, it is not a monster, and it can be done. *However, the process will not be pleasant and will likely end up being quite costly in terms of dollars, and potentially physical harm. *

What kind of Kawasaki 2-stroke do you have? *It's not a 750 is it? *Those, by all accounts were some seriously freaky bikes... *My only thought is that if you are determined to get a Busa at the next stop you might want to buy a used 4-stroke. *An SV650, or a Katana 600 or 750. *You could pick one up used but in decent condition for prolly $2500, ride it for a year, then sell it for about $2000. *The size and weight of the Katana's are similar to the Busa and the SV is just an all around sweet bike, with a lot of aftermarket available and due to it's popularity should be pretty simple to sell in a hurry, or trade in at a decent value.... Just a thought...

Welcome to the Board, and uh... are you really a Pastor?

Regarding the Kawasaki...I am not sure. It is a bike from the late 1960's and it is absolutely ugly. I am having a buddy of mine take it in his truck and run it over to the Kaw. dealer to see if they can get it up and running. If they can't, I am going to give it to them for parts. It is reaaaaally old...but I figure that I won't mind dropping it, laying it down, or anything else for that matter.

I will look into a 750 and see if there are any of them around here...and there should be. We have alot of younger bikers in the area (teenage to mid 20's). I am 34 and have a deep desire to finally get a street bike.

Yep...I am really a Pastor. I work mostly with teens...Jr. High and Sr. High. It's a great job...I have the youth website on as my website.

Thanks for the help...I will keep you posted. Thanks for the welcome!
