Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
I live in New Mexico, Albuquerque area. Bought an 09 Busa in October and have managed to put 2000 miles on it as of today's ride.
I was looking for a bike to commute to work on and to save some money on gas. I have a few friends that ride and they thought I was crazy for buying the Busa. I do have riding experience since 13 years old, two enduros and a 82 GS1100 in high school which I saved for 3 years and rode for 7 months before I sold it. I sold it because I joined the Air Force and I literally hadn't ridden since then. That's 28 years ago so you can see why my friends thought I was crazy for buying the Busa.
So I took it slow and easy until break in was over and the old skills came back pretty fast. I have to say I LOVE this bike!!!!! My wife told me every time I come back from a ride I'm in a great mood and she's absolutely right.
Last weekend me and my buddy went for a ride and we swapped bikes for a while. I have to say his honda 919 Hornet? was not even close. I had the biggest thrill when he passed me at around 160 MPH I laughed out loud. Later I got it up to 170 indicated and was amazed at how much she had left to go. I'm looking forward to maxing it out one day when I have the cajones.
Anyway, hello to all and looking forward to your posts.
