thinkin of trading my 07 for a 2011 is it worth it??

[boxerdiesel]

I have an 07 that i got in july of 08 as a leftover. love the bike and have almost 17,000 miles on her. Thinking its time for a change and like the look of the gen II. Is the gen II worth it over the gen I. any advice would help

the gen 2 is everything you wanted the 1st gen to be. it's everything you love about the 1st gen busa - improved! better suspension, brakes, and of course more grunt. as much as i miss both of my 1st gens, i dont regret trading for a k8. absolutely love it. i have 26k miles on it and enjoyed every mile of it. rain or shine

trade it for a 2008 or 09 leftover. You should be able to knock off a few bucks compared to a leftover 2011. If a 2011 is offered...

Sell the '07 outright, then buy the Gen II, that is, if you can do it w/o going into debt.
If you have the cash, go for it, but don't take on a monthly payment to do it.

Freedom from debt is such an undescribably peaceful feeling.

you'll lose money with the trade in (or even with a PP sale). But I fully understand if you want to upgrade to a Gen II

Well said, I will have that feeling soon.. got one to two payments left on my 07

The one your riding is still new But if you like it get it

 

[houstonbussa]

I haven't ever driven a GenII.. So I'm bias.. lmao.. But yea, you haven't even broken your GenI in yet... x2

(I wish I could get past the looks of the GenII. Just love my 07 too much)

 

[BusaPops]

Same boat. Can't decide. Only have 30,000k on the '07 and some cool mods. They'll only give me $5 grand on a trade in for $13,990. That'd be over $9,000 grand for the trade. I dunno. The '07 is worth more than $5 g's to me. Leaning toward a cool paint job and some motor work.

ahh just go bigbore, and maybe a turbo

Trading your 07 up for a 2nd gen isn't a bad idea at all, but going for a 2011 is. The price got raised over 2 grand for the 2011 busa. You're WAY better off buying a new leftover 09, or better yet a low mileage used 08 or 09 since the 2011 is the exact same bike mechanically as the 08 and up. Getting a new 2011 is financial suicide You're going to end up paying twice the price for the 2011 that you could get a clean low mileage used 08 for with extras like an exhaust etc. Its your money though

Could you imagine what you could do to your 07 with $9,000.00 !!

To the OP, I LOVE the Gen 2's, but I guess it's just how bad do you want 1 ? I agree with everyone else on getting a left over 09, unless you just HAVE TO HAVE those BOLD NEW GRAPHICS

What is said above

 

[BusaWizard]

I wouldn't pay what they want for a 11 model, find a left over 09.

bought my 2008 in august of 2010 for 8400 dollars with 1035 miles on it and it had a full race brocks exhaust with a power commander and a k-n and lowered and chrome (Isold the chrome) and it came with the stock parts! you will find a great deal if you spend some time and be ready to grab it it wont last long

 

[sportcustoms71]

spend your time looking and find what you want for the price you want. i bought mine this year, an 08 with three miles on it, what a deal.

 

[busa-saga]

some things you'll like some you wont. for me, just the small trunk space on the Gen2 is enough for me NOT to want a one.

 

[DaCol.]

I'am still VERY Happy with my 06 and until I need something more (power is more than enough for me on the street) it will be a KEEPER

If you just want a change, Great, then buy a new one. But if you do mod changes, will it still be better than the 07 ??? for your type of riding, or just your GRIN :satisfied: Factor. And that can be reason enough for some to change
