Check insurance on all of them too. I know that was a factor when I got my new ride as well.

The long-distance comfort of the Busa is a nice point in its favor, but then the insurance thing is a going point (our ins co does look at the cc's of the bike).... hmmm... so many things to weigh....

GSXR750-- all the comfort you want.... all the power you need.

I've literally never even sat on one actually...

I know everyone's raving about ALL the new GSXR's, but I hadn't even considered them, actually (not that I have anything against them, just hadn't looked at em

)

can't hurt to consider them, I s'pose....

good luck

I def want the busa but the insurance would kill me so I'm gonna wait and see what happens. I might just settle for an older model gsxr1000 they are just as comfy. I do want a newer model bike though it offers such a different and smoother ride.

Insurance won't be a big factor with us. We're with USAA and have been for many, many years. When I got rid of my 97 900RR and added my 05 R1, my semi annual premium went up a whole $20.

Mr Lefty · 07-28-2008, 12:35 PM

true but USAA goes by CC's so your 900RR and your R1 aren't that big a diff... going from a 600 to a 1300 would

Right, I agree. Going from a 600 to a 1000 is going to be a big enough jump, so before I decide definitively on one bike over another, I want to see what that next leap from 1000 to 1300 cc's will be.

The insurance on my blast was 156 a year for liability with Shelter ins, but all of my family's vehicles were on that plan. When I got the R1, only a few different companies in town would insure it at all, with one 26 in a 25 ticket on my record. The lowest price I could find was for 550 dollars a year for liability.
