Yup, no insurance required... There's no way I can afford insurance for the bike though. It's hard enough with the car. I'm young, have a few speeding tickets, and only one accident in my car (WHICH WASN'T EVEN MY FAULT!!! A GUY RAN A RED LIGHT AND HIT ME, AND EVEN THE POLICE REPORT SAYS THAT!!!... it was only a fender bender though) But anyways... Last time I got quote was for the Busa, and it was near $10,000 a year... that's how absurd it was... I paid $10,500 out the door for the busa back in the day... I might as well have bought two for that much money... I layed the busa down once though... at like 10 mph... it was dumb... $450 fairing...

I know... 18 year old male with 10 points on his license riding a busa =
That was back when I got my busa in 2004... I guess statistically I should be dead by now, but I rode smart for the most part. You can ride fast (within your abilities) but you have to know when and where. I guess it also helps that I don't trust anyone when I'm on the road... "ride like you're invisible"... I guess it also helps that I've been on two wheels since I was 3 or 4... But according to paper I've only ridden since 15 and a half...

Yea it's a tough call--- Keep the Busa or try something else................
That new 07 Ducati 1098 sure looks good.... 15k hmm. Sounds like it would majorly rock... I have always wanted a fast V-twin. ---- Got a nice Busa and no money-- Ohwell it will be a Busa summer in 07---- Can't be too bad !!!!

Was it a brand new bike, or a customer custom?(Busaman86 @ Jan. 22 2007,15) I picked her up in Ocala Florida. They said there's VERY few of them around... they said that other than their dealership, there was one in Orlando and maybe one in Miami. But then again... this is what the dealership said... The first time I saw her I didn't really like her, but I have to admit, she's grown on me a lot! I wish I could ride right now but its raining
I already put 150 miles on her and I'm dying to give her a bath, but I guess I have to wait for the rain to stop... I thought about the bath tub but u know... she's a big girl...
btw, do any of u guys know what's the stock gearing on a 2006 gixx 1000? I'm pretty sure the rear sprocket has 42 teeth, but I was wondering about the front sprocket. And also if I can put on a busa's front sprocket on the gixx 1000 (I've got a brand new 16T/42T kit for the busa that I never got to put on... I know the rear wont work, but I *think* front sprockets are more universal... could be wrong though...)
