I've been lurking on and off for about a year now trying to decide if the Busa is the right bike for me. I went to the dealership (Coleman PowerSports-Falls Church, VA) on Tuesday and seeing the 05 LE in person sealed the deal. I'm not a huge fan of some of Suzuki's paint schemes, but the LE looks VERY good on this bike.
While I'm at the dealership on Tuesday I Talk to the sales guy, he say's "busa's are on special for $9780". I ask if the LE is included and he says "yep". I ask about all the other fees and he says an additional $980 for tax, tags, freight, setup, etc. Not great, but not too bad...$10,760 otd for the only color that I really like.
I wasn't going to seal the deal that day. I needed time to check insurance rates and think the whole thing through.
Time to call the insurance company; I'm actually nervous waiting for the callback with the quote. I was pretty shocked when my agent said full coverage would be $592 a year for full coverage. I was paying $460 (before I dropped collision) for a 2002 BMW R1150R that only cost $6500 when I bought it used almost 2 years ago.
At this point I'm on a collision course with buying the busa and nothing can stop it.
I drove down to the dealership this afternoon and put down my deposit. The sucky part is I have to wait until Tuesday to pick up my check from the credit union. 4.9% for 24 months sounded better than separating from $10k of my savings.
Now it's time to wait. This is truly going to be one loooong weekend.
