Bought a GSX-S 1000 GX this weekend and am loving it. They had a couple marked down to 12K, so I pulled the trigger. Wife's not thrilled about a 3rd bike, but said if I really wanted it, go for it. I was out the door before she could change her mind. It fits perfectly between the Goldwing and Busa.

Nice call! I was thinking the same thing.

We're all in the right place to share all the toys - when in doubt about buying more, just ask us here and we'll tell you "DO IT!" :laugh:

Nice rides. I have a BMW RT in place of your Goldwing and a GSX-S 1000 GT+ in place of your GX. Still thinking over that Gen 3....

That price on the GX is crazy good.

I absolutely love the RT, but with zero dealer support with in 5 hours, not mention the prices of the RTs, I went the cheap route and got the Goldwing. I haven't gotten to open up the GSX yet, but I can already tell it's a fun motor.

Can confirm prices for RTs...but GoldWings are anything but cheap either!

I understand what having a bike ‘between’ the other two means. When I want a lighter weight flickable hot rod I’ll ride my Z900RS. I’ve taken it thru eight states but it (is) a nekkid bike. Great for local day rides. I’ve managed nearly 30,000 miles on it in seven years. Getting mileage above 45 per gallon is easy to live with as well. On other days (or roads) the CBX feels like the right bike to take. Old, six carburetors, six cylinders, great sound especially above 9,000 revs. I rode my other one to Canada and Yellowstone NP and as far east as Mt. Rushmore, Devils Tower and the Crazy Horse monument. Had 106,000 miles on it when I sold it. Fine touring rig. I’ve ridden my current one over 8,000 miles in the year I’ve owned it. And then there’s the Busa and we all know how satisfying riding it is. Regardless of having several other bikes since 2006 I’ve managed nearly 90,000 miles on the Busa thru 11 states, also a fine touring rig. Not a bad hot rod either.
That’s a pretty good testament for Suzuki’s Hayabusa no matter how many other bikes we might have. Now, which one to take to Lolo…..

I thought that “other” bike was another busa. Is your friend ever going to get rid of the gen2 he keeps collecting dust or let you buy it so you can rip it around?

I had that phase back in 2013...

View attachment 1698205

I've had one for a year now, it handled awful...until I put on Traxxion Dynamics Full Monty suspension.
Night and day improvement, now the fat pig rails curves and flicks side to side quicker than 1k's, it's only limit is ground clearance, which is still good for what it is.
