I'm all but certain my next bike will be a Busa. I'd prefer an 06-07, I hate the back end on the 08-09 but love that orange/blue paint scheme. I also considered the ZX14 and love the back end of that one but don't really like the front end of it all that much.

I feel cramped as hell on my CBR 1000 on the longer trips, it does not help that I severely pulled muscles in my neck/shoulder area 2 years ago and will not stay off the bike long enough for it to quit agitating it. I know it has to do this bike because if I switch to the F4I or Ninja 500 I can ride all day pain free.
