Hi Lastmanstanding I'm also a first time member of the Hayabusa forum, I can truly understand your dilemma as I am about to change my '04 R1 for an '05 Busa on Wednesday. I haven't even ridden a Busa yet, but after reading so many favourable reviews on them I have gone ahead and bought one. God, I hope I've done the right thing. I really had to change the R1 as my Mrs moaned so much about the lack of rear seat comfort that I had to relent and find another superbike - but what? I didn't want to compromise on performance but I had to find something to keep her soft ass happy! After reading all the reviews and bike mags I just had to go for the Busa. I'll let y'all know how I get on.
Steve
