If there is a better place I should be posting this, let me know, but this seemed like the best location...

i am currently riding an '01 aprilia rsv mille but am looking for something with a more comfortable riding position for me. i hate to even entertain the idea of getting rid of her, but i have a buddy with a Gen2 busa and i fell in love with it. i would love to have an 08, but it is just outside of my means at the moment.

i think i want a Gen1 busa, although i've never ridden one. i know of a few around town that i plan to as soon as the rain gives us a break. i can't convince my wife that i need two motorcycles, so i can either sell my bike and buy a busa or trade my bike + dollars.

having said that, is there anyone, or does anyone know anyone who may be, interested in making a trade for my Aprilia? If i am able to get any interest generated, i have a TON of pictures i can post.
 
Welcome to the oRg and by all means, post up some pics. You need to figure out if the Gen 1 is what you want. I personally love mine, but have never been in the saddle of a Gen 2. Good Lord willing and the creek dont rise, I will have a Gen 1 and a Gen 2 in the garage next year.
 
here are a few pictures. i haven't had a chance to take any pictures lately, new chain and a few other things.

wow nice bike... Would love to take that thing for a hot lap :) (I gotta learn to ride first) :)
 
welcome aboard! i love when the "bride" intervenes when it comes down to 1 bike only. i had a similar problem a few months back. :laugh: nice bike and i bet the thought of selling that bike probably sickens you.
 
Post that bad boy on craigslist, someone will trade you for it! I just tradded my chopper for a busa.:thumbsup:
 
Welcome to the oRg, nice looking ride! I'm sure that whatever you decide to do will work out... But the Busa is a fantastic machine for all different styles of riding.
 
:welcome: :welcome: :welcome:

You will be pleasently pleased with either a Gen I or Gen II

I myself ride a Gen I and have not yet had the priviledge of jumping on a Gen II but have heard nothing but good things about them.

The only Problem I can see with a Gen II is that they havent come out in Maroon yet, Cause as we allllllllll know it is the fastest color. :laugh:
 
just a guess but I think your wife would love the back seat of the busa alot better then the AP
 
I bought an 06 and have been loving it ever since.You have to experience one of these bikes to even begin to appreciate it.
 
:welcome: to the Org. and where are you located ? Most have other bikes (I have Ducatis) so, someone might be able to help you.

Again :welcome: to the Org and YOU"LL Love the Busa :cheerleader:
 
thanks for all the feedback guys, and yes, even the thought of getting rid of her is heartbreaking. i'm scheming on a way to keep her and get the busa, but as of yet have been unsuccessful.

i'm just outside of jackson, mississippi and am willing to drive/ride to meet if anyone is interested.
 
When you get the busa you will ask your self: "Why didn't I do this sooner"

I have an 07 and I love it...
