After reading alot of posts on the issue of getting a busa as a "1st" bike, ive decided that $800+ a month is a little too much for me to pay in insurance. Ill be going for my 2nd fav bike the yamaha warrior. Ive been riding for a long time but since ive never INSURED a bike before my insurance company calls me a newb. ahh well... still love the busa, just cant afford the insurance (can afford insurance but nothing else ie: food clothes etc). Thanks for all the good posts on this issue tho. Id like to think that there are quite a few people out there that are alot happier (and/or alive) thanks all of the good info and sincere concern on this forum.
