Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I really appreciate it!!
A little more background, graduated from the AMI general M/C and their first HD class back in '81. Have had 12 HD's and one BMW R800, but wanted more performance, better suspension and brakes, and less weight. So I traded in my '08 HD FatBob last Spring for an '08 leftover Yamaha FJR1300. WOW, what a blast that bike was. Fast, decent brakes and suspension. Bought the FJR on May 22 and put 11.5K on it over the Summer. Even won the milage contest at the dealership where I bought it. But I only used my hardbags 10% of the time and really wanted more performence (Torque!), along with better suspension and brakes. I also wanted less weight so I needed to get away from driveshaft bikes. I really like the Kawi C-14 and wanted to check out the new Honda 1200 Interceptor, but both have driveshafts. So after test riding an '09 C-14, ZX-14, BMW 1300GT and K1300S, and finally an '09 Busa I decided on the Busa. I hated the BMW front ends and I know that BMW is having major issues with driveshaft failures, not to mention Dealer access, so the Beemers were out. The ZX-14 was nice but it had 1200 miles on it and had never been serviced and looked like it had been beat on, plus they wanted to much for a used '09 ZX-14 so that bike was out. Like I said I loved the C-14 and was especially excited about the new Gen II C-14 but again it has a driveshaft so that was out. That left the Busa which I test rode twice. Luckily I'm used to the tilted forward riding position from my FJR but the Busa was still a little bit of a reach for me so I've ordered a set of Helibars from Mr. Eddy.
As for my Busa, I love how smooth the motor is, love the buttery smooth trans, love the way I sit in the Busa and not on top like my FJR. Man, I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!
