Which would you get (and WHY?)

[OTB]

Me, I'd buy the busa....better price, lower miles, newer bike and you know the condition of the bike. Plus, the busa is a better all-'round bike for slabbing long miles. Plus it is competent in the twisties.....

From a strictly $ standpoint... the busa : $8600 http://www.kbb.com/kbb/OtherVehicles...48&YearId=2006

vs the R1: $7500

..again, you know I look at these with an eye towards the $'s; so take it with a grain of salt. Just seems to me that the busa is a bike I could ride for a year or two and break even or even make a dollar or two.....

See if we HAD twisties, it might be an easier choice. But we don't.

All true... Hmm.... (and we did think about that, that the price on the Busa is so good, I could ride it for a couple years and either sell it and probably still make a bit on it, OR keep it for a 3rd bike.

Hmmm.....

and BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I love that there's already 10,003 votes!!!!

Same here, on all of his points. Especially the touring one though. Being in floirida, I'm sure there is a lot cheaper market for the chrome and streched swingarms too. :P

R1 because the busa looks like a cow.

To quote your tagline, thanks ass.


(if we go with the Busa, it'll become the ANTI bling Busa.... )

[Trip]

I don't like the Busa, not much more to it than that.

[neebelung]

Fair enough.

[fnfalman]

I don't want either the R1 or the Busa, so I'll take Tater's freaky whore of an ex-wife.

Da Bulls, Da Bears, Da Busa...Simply for the comfort, overall usability, and street cred. It'll go 2 up, drag race, handle twisties, go 4 states in a day. pull serious leg (I know your not going to do that, but if you are I wanna watch) and it goes well with cleavage! Post pics when yours comes in!!!
