Was looking at a used car and stumbled across a 2004 Mean Streak at less than half of blue book. Couldnt resist the price so bought it. Finally got to take it on a 40 mile ride yesterday. I always thought my Busa was big, heavy, rough riding, hard shifting but with a dynamite engine that makes up for its shortcomings. After the ride on the Meanie I jumped right on the Busa for a similar ride. HOLY CRAP !!!! My Busa is small, light, smooth riding and smooth shifting. Pays to ride a different type of bike once in awhile to really appreciate what a great bike the Busa is !!!!! Here is a pic of the Meanie as bought and then stripped down. I am going to keep it for a few months but will probably sell it later this year.
