Rubb me
 
My first Busa, 2001. Few mods: Yosh carbon slip-ons, heated grips, double-bubble screen, gear indicator, TRE. Traded it in on the 2005 below.

My second Busa, 2005. Same mods as I moved them over from the 2001: Yosh carbon slip-ons, heated grips, double-bubble screen, gear indicator, TRE.
1608517

First 2008 B-King... traded the 05 Busa in on it as I was looking for something more comfortable. Mods: Yosh slip-on, Yosh fender eliminator, heated grips, TRE, Suzuki factory headlight cowl.
1608518

Traded the first King in on a Bonneville to build a side-car rig for my new daughter to enjoy. Ended up missing the fury of the 1340ccs so I part-traded a 1999 TL1000R I had and some cash for another B-King. Minor mods: heated grips, HID headlight, homemade fender eliminator, Area-P slip-on.

Met some crazy dude through the .org who traded me his 2009 Busa for my B-King and a bit of cash. :D It had 4-1 Yosh exhaust, heated grips, Helibar risers, double-bubble screen, etc.

Sold Rubb's Busa to a local cop who was able to actually use it without fear of jail time (Do as I say! Not as I do!)... why? Because my first B-King had popped up for sale and I wanted it back! So I bought it. Again.

I also let it go again this time last year while downsizing for a move. I listed everything I owned for sale and what sold, sold... what didn't is still with me. So yeah, I'm Busa-less for now... but that could change when the Gen3 bike appears! What? Why are you all laughing? A Gen3 could happen! It really could! :p
