...after 20 years...

[CorrodedAlien]

Hey all,
After 20+ years and 85,000 miles, I sold the Busa. Yup my Gen 1 2003 Anni Orange bike is onto its next owner. In summer '23 I decided it was a time for a change. I landed on the '23 GSX S1000GT+ Black. Great bike, smoooooooth quick shifter and saddle bags!

If anyone remembers me.. (lol) Let me know.

New Ride:

Ride home from Lake Tahoe, last summer

The day Smaug and I parted ways...

Sorry to see you sell, but glad you got the bike you wanted! The orange didn't set well with me in the beginning, after seeing yours and a few others it kind of grew on me.

Nice!! I think about selling my Gen 1 a lot lately...I don't ride it anymore, I found I love my BMW more...

Everything changes - glad you're still on 2!

Even after 85,000 miles and 20+years she looks stunning.She seems to be pampered real well.

But he sold it, right when it was getting broken in.

The Suzuki Gsxs1k has really grown on me.
I really liked the naked version when they updated it a few years ago, and then the GT came out, I don't think it looks as good with the nose and windshield, but as most of us know the wind without them will wear you out after a while, so I would want the GT.
I don't need another bike either...but I really want to ride one...which means I probably shouldn't, lol, but it's the only new bike that appeals to me.
That black looks good too.

Wouldn't it have been great if Suzuki built the 1000GT+ around the Busa engine? You'd automatically have the best sport touring bike on the planet.
