I went to purchase a Busa in 2001 but made the mistake of taking my wife with me. When she sat on the rear seat of the then new GL1800, you can see from the attached what we rode home.
I sold the Wing and have been checking with this board for a couple of months now waiting to see what 2005 would bring. I considered buying a 2004 LE that the dealer had in stock, but decided to put a deposit on his first delivery of a red/black 05. It is amazing how the color of the 2004 LE changes when outside in the sunlight as opposed to indoors in a showroom. It goes from a fingernail/lipstick red inside to absolutely beautiful outside. I hope they use the same red for my red/black 05.
Very few of my toys (boat, airplane, etc.) have enough power to satisfy me. I have never ridden a Busa and hope it doesn't let me down in the power department. A friend left a Honda 954 with me for the day and I was really disapointed in that it had very little low end grunt. It was only impressive from about 8 grand on up.
I plan to install a Zero Gravity sport touring windshield which I hope doesn't create a lot of turbulence since I will be using a headset/mike for bike-to-bike with my buddies. I will also add a Corbin backrest for when either my 12 year old son or 15 year old daughter ride with me. My children like for me to pick them up from school on the bike. My wife has been very negative about the Busa partially joking that she is not setting on that "hump thing". I will also add some sort of throw over soft saddlebags which I can remove when not sport touring. I am going to call Shoei to inquire about future matching helmets for the red/black.
I always trailered the Wing to special places to ride and then unloaded it and used our hotel as a hub for our adventures. I plan to do the same with the Haya-bad-boy.
I would appreciate any comments on the above mentioned accessories and also other suggestions for other add-ons.
