A new '03 Busa owner!

[gaw]

Hi to all,
I am somewhat new to posting, but have been reading the site for about 6 months, have posted a few times.

Well after about a year of investigating, I finally purchased a  new '03 Black/Silver Busa on Firday.

Went with a friend and put about 350 miles on the bike this week-end criss-crossing the Sierra passes between Yosemite and Tahoe CA. Once I got the first 100 miles on the bike and the tires scrubbed we really got into the twisties. Did not have a problem staying under the 5500 rpm per owners manuel. Had more than enough power available under that rpm for our ride.
Great bike handeled just like everyone said. Got a few comments on the bike, "now that's all meat", "1300-WOW!"
My friend rides a mint 1988 Honda hawk 650, a very FUN bike. So with a Busa and an older mint Hawk we got a lot of attention.  

Just wanted to thank all of you for the information that has been given on this board. I look forward to obtaining more and more info as the days go by.

Ride safe and thanks again
Now onto the mods!!!!

Excellent.

I'm hoping to get more riding time this week to put some miles on mine. I had all kinds of free time til I bought 'er. Now it seems that my schedule stays full. Maybe it's time to burn some of that vacation time that I've been saving.
