Thanks Volvi…
Well it is true that I have committed to purchase a new Busa from Mick Hone and Siggy (the salesman) called the colour I chose, “Titaniumâ€. Suzuki describes the colour as Metallic Phantom Gray / Pearl Nebular Black (CZY), in their glossy brochure.
There were only two Busas in the showroom, the other being the Candy Max Orange / Pearl Nebular Black (EAJ), which I wasnâ€t able to view close up as it had been tightly stashed for the night and Iâ€ve yet to sight the Candy Indy Blue / Pearl Nebular Black (EAK).
Although I had not made up my mind about the colour before the purchase, I had imagined that I would go for the orange, which is truly striking but I was not keen on the black half and felt that I would soon tire of the orange as well.
The Gray looks mean and took my fancy instantly, I didnâ€t even want to think about it overnight, although Siggy would readily allow me to change my selection, if that was to be the case. Colours are very much a personal preference and as long as one is happy with their choice, it makes no difference to the ride.
I had sold my ‘03 Busa over 2 years ago and had fallen in love with the GSXR1000 (K5) after having had a short stint on a ‘04 R1, which was a wonderful bike but a little underpowered I thought, I suppose my weight was quite a handful for her….
Considerable pressure from my partner who was really upset at being cut off from being pillioned (the gixxer being too tight and uncomfortable), forced me to once again consider a second bike which would be a suitable two-up machine, so what better than a Busa? Good excuse?
Monday is the delivery day and I am really looking forward to popping my first mono on the K8……..
I will be reporting back after the initial trials….
