(Poppy @ Sep. 16 2006,11:05) It seems your intent is to upgrade the FZ, regardless of the opinions received. Do that & get the Busa later. Oh, and teach the wife how to ride the FZ.
Welcome aboard!
Yeah, you're right. I just can't swing the extra money for a Hayabusa right now. I'm just gonna have to live with the fact that I'll have Busa envy for the next couple of years.
But since I'm here, I might as well ask a couple of questions:
How often do you have to adjust the valves?
What kind of gas mileage does a Busa get?
Is it possible to keep the front wheel on the ground when accelerating at full throttle?
Are there any mods besides a different windshield and bar risers that people who tour recommend for the Busa?
Could anyone here give me ballpark figure on what full coverage insurance would cost on a 2002 Busa for a 37 year old rider with 18 years of street bike experience and a clean driving record?
Oh, as far as my wife riding the FZ1 goes. It will never happen. I can't even get her to drive a car with a stick shift. Plus, I'm not even sure her feet would touch the ground. But, she has expressed interest in a scooter, so we might get her one of those eventually. Of course that will have to be after I get the Busa. Yeah, I know, I'm a selfish bastard!!
