I see more and more threads about BMWs here, and with so many track addicts around, you guys get a free pass :D

But are many opting to ditch the Busa because it's essentially the same and has remained that way for far too long now? Got bored?

Just like Kawi green {Flicka?}? :p

What else are you guys looking at or have bought?

Do you think you have a problem with commitment {Twobrothersbusa?} :whistle:

My poor Busa is 11 this year, but he's just a baby compared to my 19 year old daily driver Mustang GT, so I figure I still have a lot of miles left to put on Caesar :whistle:

I've been looking at a Concours for about 3 years. :rofl:

Still have Ochinko though.. The heavens haven't quite opened up fully for me. Maybe someone can give me one? Be right back, emailing Kawasaki now... :please:

My kid got too big for effective 2-up touring on the busa so I got the FJR... I doubt I'll ever let go of the white bike... unless I crash it due to my ineffective riding skills.

I haven't gone for a ride on mine in about 8 months can't bring myself to sell it. Perfect riding weather btw so that isn't the reason...



Can't give up the keys though..:down:


I guess I feel a little like a gun owner :whistle:

I bought Busagirls S1000rr last fall. We helped her with a trackday at Barber and had to have that bike.

I still have my Hayabusa. The bike does nothing wrong. I have it set up exactly as I want. I don't intend on getting rid of it any time soon. And when I do they will both go for a new Bmw Gs 1200

Ad my wife's health declines so does her ability to ride. As her ability to ride declines my riding focus changes. Suzuki does not have an offering that fits in with my riding desires. This pains me greatly as I have never owned any make other than Suzuki. Kwakasucki here I come:down:

Seems like BMW is taking over... pretty soon owning a Hayabusa on a "Hayabusa Forum" will be a thing of the past :whistle:
