The answer is______________, wait for it___________,
Yes I have at least one more Busa in life to ride. Thanks for everyone's comments, they were overwhelmingly in support to ride again. I am always responsible and do have my life ins and things in order. Good advice. The last 2009 Black Busa, I had was set up for sport touring. The reason I sold that one was financial and wanted to upgrade to a newer used truck. I should've kept the 09 close to stock but with the Busa loan and about a extra 3 to 4 k in mods/debt, I had to much going out each month on it. This time around, lesson learned and I am going to just keep her close to stock and place all efforts in paying her off early and once paid off piece meal my mods. with the no longer previous monthly Busa payments and get ur done. That way I'll have her long term with no financial issues again.
Another thing is I am getting a brand new 2012 White Busa, with one year warranty. This will be the second time ever buying new. The first time was in 1986 on a Kaw. baby Ninja 250cc when I was 16 years old (43 now). I got what I think is an incredible deal of $10,250 out the door. That did not include the $640 Il. tax and $200 Il title paperwork. I am finalizing the loan now and have to wait until next week to bring her home. The Busa is in WI.

Update- 5-24-2014. After my last posting a week 1/2 ago with almost buying a brand new Busa and afterwards having a blowout with my wife with the total number$ that was more then she agreed with and the insurance costs. I had to change plans to make everything work.
Instead of buying a brand new Busa with a $11K Loan/Debt, 5 year loan and full insurance on a 2012 at $120 a month with Allstate. I now have a 6 month loan, Yes 6 months to pay off and own outright a 2000 Busa and Allstate full coverage of $49 per month.
Since I was only a signature away from the brand new Busa deal, I decided to go to the other end of the spectrum and find one I can pay off in the least amount of time and have no more payments. I found and bought a 2000 Busa, Silver and Blue paint, in great condition, maintained, and better yet a One Owner. The previous owner is a real Busa touring rider. He bought new in 2000 and put on 31,200 miles in road trips in 25 states. He's 54 now and has other street bikes to ride, another KTM bike he put on 30k miles during this timeframe as well. He was asking $5700, then after a few weeks dropped to $4900 asking and I bought for the price of $4300, I don't think I could of found a lower price one that had the one owner history and ready to ride condition.
What your thoughts on the price $4300 with 31,200 miles, maintained and one owner? Here a picture, if I did it right....
It's all original, no accidents, no scratches except on lowest part near road that all bikes have, comes with Bagster tank cover (I removed cover and no tank and no scratches there) with two tank bags, pit bull rear stand, Corbin rear seat with backrest, twin Yosh cans, Susuki gel seat, factory front and rear seat, steel braided front brake line, always garaged and dated paperwork from 2000 miles ago of new chain sprocket and valve adjustment.
Finally a Busa owner again..........Thank God
