I had my first bike which was a 2000 gixxer 6 for 5 months and wrecked it from a bad wheelie landing in a stupid place with no gear on and was 15 min from death due to a right front epidural hematoma, dented a section of my skull in 1/2 inch, shattered another section of my skull, ruptured an artorie in my temple, fractured my right eye socket, right side of my upper jaw, and fractured the shaft for my pinky toe in my right foot. Was about $75,000 total. I didnt ride for 2 years and bought the busa. The funny thing is i wrecked on 8/21/05 at 2:30p.m. and i bought the busa on 8/21/07 at 2:30p.m. So this was either a good sign or a bad sign. I feel way comfortable and safe on the busa then my 600.
