So I might be making a come back...

That's right, after 3 years of being without a bike I might be taking the plunge once again. I kick myself every spring for selling my last Busa (pics will be posted) and I have finally decided that I want another bike. I have been looking around and the final choices are between a 2010 Honda Fury and a 2009 Busa. I do like the look and the feel of the fury for the price and they can be made to look really good with a few aftermarket parts. The one I am looking at has exhaust on it already and is list at $13699 which isnt bad. The other day while in Oklahoma City on business I stopped by the Zuk place and fell in love all over again lol. A brand new 2009 black busa with a Yosh R77 full system, Power commander and chrome wheels already on it. Basically almost everything I would do to it myself. The price was set at a whopping $14999 which is way high considering 09 stock busa's are being listed at $10999 so that would have to be negotiated a lot. With Suzuki offering 1.99% for 5 years it is hard to pass up. One point I found funny, I called today to check insurance on both bikes and the Fury was $227/6mo. but the Busa won with $211/6mo. So I might be back on a Busa before the month is out if everything goes well. lease:



My old Busa, still wish I had it.

Everything was polished by me except the wheels and it had a HID which I won from the org raffles back in the day.

Great to have you back and that was a sweet lookin' Busa! Go with the '09 and be done with it.

 

[trojan2k]

Just do it
3 years!? I can't go 3 days without getting the urge. Go for the Busa. Do it. Do it now

 

[bigjohn141]

It is VERY tempting, trust me lol. I think I will be going on a little road trip on Saturday to and see what happens but I might give them a call tomorrow and see if they can approve me over the phone since it is a 2 hour drive.

Hey Trojan, how are you liking the Trailblazer SS? I have a 06 also with about 47,000 on it and still fast as hell for a SUV lol.

BigBS, I am glad to see you still have Baby J. That is still one damn sexy bike.

 

[coreywiley]

Come on back brother!

Just put 30k on it. The wife drives it mostly(Babies and groceries) It's the replacement for my Silverado SS so I'm mad at it We moved to this cause we are moving over seas soon and had too much in the driveway for the Navy to ship over. It's a lot smaller than the Silverado but it is faster. I can't wait to crack it open. It's all stock for now. Have you had to fix the tranny yet? I'm a little worried about that.

 

[skydivr]

That IS a beauty for sure...the good news is you get to get A NEW ONE

 

[cipher5791]

Good luck on the decision making. Nice bike you got rid of there.

I would not spent $15000 on an 09 Busa. Price is beyond the bike and mods.

No problems at all out of the tranny. I haveactually heard people that hot rod them a little bit (which I might do every now and then) have better luck then those who baby them, go fiure. I also had my ECM tuned so my shift pressures are a little higher so that my help too.

Yeah I agree on that price being way too high. They will have to come down some and maybe throw in a set of Power Pilot 2ct for it.

 

[Wayneovich]

Sweet man go for it just make them check those accesories prices

 

[bigjohn141]

I already did the research. $1000 for the R77, $360 for the PC and we will say $600-800 for the wheels so they are way high.

 

[chrisjp]

these are not the droids you are looking for...buy the 09....

 

[captain]

Well your old one looked great and I bet you can make the new one shine too

 

[bigjohn141]

Well after much thought, consideration and lots of jumping back and forth I decided to go with the Honda Fury. I was back and forth for a while but I am good friends with the manager of the local dealership and I got the bike for a good price and with 4.99% APR which Suuzuki approved me at 8.99%. I got the bike today on my lunch break and had to stare at it for another 7 hours while I tried to finish working so I could go ride it. I am happy to report that after a nice 50 miles of riding this evening I am pleased with my decision. I think what really sealed the deal is how this thing sounds, it is a single pin crank so it sounds almost exactly like a hardley but wont break down on me all the time lol. I was lucky enough to pick the only one the had that already had aftermarket exhaust on it. It is not stupid loud but its nice and deep and I noticed quite a few heads turning. There are a few things on the list of mods like chroming the wheels and getting extended forward controls and a few other small things but I really want a day off so I can ride it lol.

Crappy cell phone pics in a random parking lot...
