Babuski's 5 figure windfall....

Boys and Girls.....I work for a company whose stock has climbed from 35 to 450 per share. I exercised some options and the windfall is nothing short of amazing. I have enough for both a new busa and a new Z 14 (okay I know I'm making you all sick). But something is telling me to hold off until I hear from clear thinking individuals such as yourselves. If I mod.....I will not Turbo my bike...I've heard too many problems. Basically the sky is the limit....what can I do to get this bike over 200 mph without a turbo and will still keep the bike reliable and not in the shop all the time. The bike is perfectly bone stock (my only mod is a tank bra) and it rides PERFECTLY and I'm very content with its performance, speed and acceleration.

what sayeth you all?

Hey Long time no hear man, I was wondering where you were at.

I'd say weight loss, via new wheels and such, a nice big bore, a good balance and bit of spray...

Congrats on the $$$ allways fun...
 
Actually if you're content, I wouldn't mess with it honestly. Myabe spend some money on a Track weekend. With Keith Code in Cali, or something like that. Make yourself a better rider, leave the bike alone... You'll be much faster, safer, and have even more fun I bet.

It's something I'd really like to do.

1] wait for the 2007 Busa coming out in September
2] Invest in GOLD
3] Invest in Real-Estate
4] Put the money towards college-fund
5] Send some my way to pay for insurance ;)
 
Either:

A.) get suspension and handling mods/components. Big bore.

B) get a track bike like a 750 or Literbike

or

C) the ultimate mod. MAKE YOURSELF A BETTER RIDER and invest in, like Revlis said, in track days with yer busa. Then add (A) into the mix when you finally figure out it's all about suspension.
 
Dont like turbo eh...Big bore,NOS, and supercharger.

+ 10,000.oo bucks for carbon fiber wheels.

That should get you started.


RSD.
 
Since you asked, I will comment on the Busa & not where to invest your cash...You want to have some fun now, and something to get instant satisfaction out of...ok so here it goes.

1) Upgrade Brake lines & clutch lines, maybe rotors & new pads
2) New Wheels - Forged Aluminum or if it doesnt make you cry too much spend the $$$ for some CF wheels
3) HID
4) Store the factory plastics and go for the OPP Carbon Fiber body work or some of their other trick weaves
5) LM1
6) PC III usb, and throw in the usb timing unit
7) Penske Rear Shock, Ohlins forks or rebuild kit for your stock fork
8) A nice Hydrulic Lift

28) Scorpio Alarm
29) EK ZZZ chain and New Sprockets front and rear...maybe try a 42T in the rear...good for the giggle factor
30) Pazzo Levers...short or long, they are very trick
31) Ram Air seals to add a few more HP on the top-end
32) Gilles chain adjusters and Lifters
33) Ti or Anodized Aluminum bolts all the way around...lighter and very pretty to look at
34) Stem Stand is always nice
35) Wind Screen of some sort
36) Undertail with some bright LED's
37) A nice tank bag to use when needed
38) Gilles or Vortex rearsets...makes a huge difference in foot position and shifting
39) Keep looking for ways to shave weight off the Busa...never cheap and good way to blow serious coin real quick

Dont waste money on the bike unless you think you are really it's master (in terms of skill).

Spend it on the Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School (if you are there in July we will meet each other. I didnt get a June slot...fuggin bastids

)

Go to Europe and hit the Nurburgring with the bike.

Go to Laguna Seca and have fun there.


Seriously - dont spend money on the bike for performance parts and bling that you dont need. Spend the money on visiting these famous tracks and equip yourself with better riding skills at the suzuki school.
