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!

You may be surprised at the age of some busa riders young man!

I'm 57, and I bought a busa after my son got one. I traded a Honda Shadow on mine, and it's the best thing I have ever done. The busa not only rocks, the people you meet who ride them, and in particular, the people on this site are the best! Go spend the $10K and get you one, you won't be sorry.

Great looking bike KoolWhip. Welcome to the site Doug, I am 36 years young, but I will +1 what GSXcite said. You will not find a better group of people anywhere. We love to promote the Busa, but we promote safe riding even more. I have found the members on this board to be more like family.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. My wife puts up with most of my whims and I with hers. She is
more worried about my sons wanting to ride the bike than me. I am going to test drive one as soon
as we have a reasonably warm day here near Nashville. Again, thank you for the responses.

congrats, and welcome to the madness...you'll see what i mean...

"kickstand mod", do a search, it's where you modify the kickstand so it locks forward at an angle a little more better preventing the bike from tipping over. the bike will lean over a little more while on the kickstand. just look at your bike with the stock kickstand...almost straight upright.

if you need paint...

welcome

Comfort can be upgraded even more for just a little over $200.Tobin seat..will drop you down in the bike 2-2 1/2 inches.Buell pegs will lower your feet about 2 inches.Reaper risers will raise the bars as much as 1 1/4.Makes a huge differance.Goodluck on your decision.
