This brought to mind a conversation I had with a chick rider quite a while back, who was riding an Across but didn't want to get anything bigger than a 600 coz she said she wouldn't be able to pick it up if she dropped it, but then later said she couldn't pick her Across up either, so it was really a moot point.
My point, is how comfortable and physically capable are you to pick up the bike if it gets dropped? For that matter, how many of you guys have tried it, or have been forced to? It certainly isn't the easiest thing to do, but doing it in a proper manner certainly helps. If you always ride with company then it wouldn't be too much of a worry but if you do a lot of solo stuff you'd want to be able to.
Hrmm, stuck under a Busa?
It's not so much a question of getting a Busa, but a big bike in general. If you'd get a Blackbird or Zx12r without question then there shouldn't be any real problem getting a Busa.

ps what state are you in?
