I pulled the trigger. Got the last new, black 2013 at my local shop on clearance today. Got a great deal. Out the door, tax and reg and fees, I paid little above what a new one, list price would be. Sad thing is, evidently, the next guy who got up later than I did this morning. He paid $5,000 more for a new 2014 also black ;-)
Enough about the deal, it's a great bike. OMG. Already I like how it rides better than my GSX-R600. You all were right. It's gentle, and smooth. Taking the curves, i feel the bike gets me through them with less work on my part. Yah, I can feel the weight, but the transmission and engine are amazingly smooth. Tossing it in curves is fine, and I feel like I over shoot tight curves less.
I took the bike from the lot with just 1 mile on the clock, rounded down from the .1 miles the shop put on it. Amazing. But to get home, i had to take the hilly non freeway home for about 8 miles. Was fun. Had to be sure to keep the revs down for break in. Later went for a 25 miler ride with my g/f and her brother, also moto heads. Keeping the busa in third, with winding, climbing roads with 15 to 20 mph curves... it was like a kitten, but gentle giant. Power when I needed it and not complaining. I have her in "C" for now, just for me to get used to it. But man, it's great. I had no idea it would be this smooth.
Thanks all for your advice and feed back.
I chose black, because a white 2013 was sold last Thursday that I had an eye on. But when I looked closer, I think the busa in black and with the graphics and kanji, look really really good. It's growing on me even more. Plus the good/evil light and dark side of the force in contrast to my white GSX-R600 is kinda cool ;-)
Here she is with pictures on the lot, and on my parking pad, and at a gas station.
