Which would you get (and WHY?)

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.....
