I rode dirt bike a lot as a kid and have had everything from a yz80 to a cz500 before I was 15, then didn't ride again til Last year with my first street bike. It is a Yamaha xj550 so nothing too high end but quick and torqey for a small bike. I have ridden other bikes since, a Harley ("Hardley") sportster 1200, Yamaha r1, yamaha xs750, xj650 turbo, and nighthawk 650.
I went to All Pro motorsports in waukesha to look at an FZ1... (its a naked R1) and liked it a little... Then saw the Busa. I sound like a total weiner when I say it, but I had never seen one up close, let alone sit on it and start it, etc... That was it... I put $2,000 on a layaway plan and will pick it up in april, maybe May. But either way, the deal is done and I am getting a Busa... no backing out now.
It is a 2008 with 1011 miles total.
So I have a year and about 8,000 miles of street bike experience, total. I have been through a lot and learned a lot about my limits in those miles. I also hit a deer at 60mph and busted my knee and foot but didn't drop the bike.
So its too late for advice on whether or not I should get the busa. My questions are just more what to expect? The r1 was too jumpy for me. It wanted to go like a bat outta hell the instant I let the clutch into the friction zone. It didn't feel like there was any control over speed on it.
Is this something I will just have to get used to with the Busa or is it smoother? Anyway... thats me, here for the long haul.... (well, hoping its a long one) and look forward to what comes next.
