I'm kinda with scott here. My girlfriend can't keep both feet on the ground when she sits on it, and can't upright it off the stand without assistance, and she's about 5' 6".
This would be the only problem I could think of if you're short, but applies to guys aswell.
I got the Busa after a while on a CBR250RR, so handling the extra power isn't a problem. It's an effortless torquey power that is gentle if you are, but will still put you back in your place when you feel you have the hang of it (which is good to keep your over-confidence in check). It's quite happy to sit on 3000rpm and take it easy, unlike other smaller bikes which need redlining to get going.
If you can get on, upright it and have both feet firmly on the ground, without it feeling like it wants to topple, then get one. You'll never regret it (or be able to wipe the grin off your face for ages - you'll know what I mean when your jaw aches for months).
Hope this helps. If you do get one, post some pics.
