Lookin at a 2007 new Red Busa. Am 55 years old, have a Honda Shadow Spirit 1100cc that is in mint condition that I really like to ride, has Vance & Hines pipes and sounds great. Also own a Lingenfelter supercharged 2007 Vette convertible with Corsa cat back exhaust. I know this bike will smoke the Vette so it is intriguing to me. I have read a lot about this bike and rode many street bikes over the years. The Busa sounds like the ultimate street machine to me and I like that. I am not as young as most of you guys (55 years young) but am not in any way crazy. I just like power in my machines. I would probably insult the capabilities of the bike but for $10K, what the heck. After reading the posts here it seems like "once a Busa rider, always a Busa rider". I am going to give this some serious thought. for now, I am just going to read more of the posts. Thanks for the informative forum!
