what kind of bike

[tommyB]

My brother is all hyped about my new busa so now he wants to buy one. He has about 6 years experiece off and on though with bikes and quads. He was lookin at a honda 929, kwak ninja zx 10r, or a 2004 yamaha fz1. im not to familiar with these bikes so can someone tell me whats best for him. it doesnt have to be one of those 3 bikes. Hes 6 ft. and 160 lbs if it matters. Thnx

Depends on what he wants TommyB. Comfort? Speed? Handling? Reliablity? Insurance price? Bike price?

There are a lot of things to factor when buying a bike.

the fz1 is going to be a slug compared to the other 2. If he has been riding sportbikes for years, it will be boring, unless he's a cruisin kind of guy. the 10r will be a sweet ride. But its a 1st generation kawasucki. 929s are proven and pretty mean. Need more info to help ya out.

Sonds like he'll be ok on just about whatever he wants.

Just check insurance rates before he buys. I won't have a Busa for a while . At 23 and a near perfect driving record (10 kph over, the prick) my quote is over $5000 a year. Spring of '05 baby... I just hope they update it before then.
