Thanks for the well wishes everybody
I went by the dealership yesterday, and the deal they worked up was pretty good. I won't go into details, but there are vouchers that you can cash in after a certain period of time. There was one on the Busa when I bought it, and another one on the GSXR600. Here's the good part: I don't have to own the Busa when the voucher matures in order to cash it in.
When both of these vouchers are cashed in I will have $7500 coming back to me. The company that promotes the vouchers is basically betting the odds that people will either miss the time window, fail to include the proper paperwork, or just forget about it altogether. That way, they win. When this is all done, I will have been able to own the Busa for 1-1/2 years, and then have the 600 as a street/track bike all for about $4500 which includes the payments already made on the Busa. Without including the Busa payments, then I've done the same thing and the 600 only cost me about $1200. Not too bad really.
I really do understand what everyone is saying about getting a used track bike, but the way things are, I cannot come up with the cash to buy one outright. This allows me to have the new 600 and learn it from end to end as I make the mods over time. I can save up for a mod here and there...just not enough for a whole bike.
The wife does understand that insurance will not cover "track" damage, and she is willing to let me get race plastics to help out with that. We've talked about it quite a bit, and she is fully aware of the the future costs involved with getting the bike upgraded to support the progression within the riding/racing levels. I honestly don't know what I've done to deserve such a supportive wife.
If the deal goes through today, then I'll post up a few pics after this weekend.
