Thanks to everyone for replying...
SubRX's wife is about where I am in experience with riding...I never liked looking at the back of someone's head, so I went straight for my own license and bike!
Here's the part I didn't mention - I have a Harley (stop your laughing!) It's nice, but I'm already tired of modifying the damn thing to suit my tastes and/or needs. My bike weighs about the same as a Busa; I'm a bit worried about the center of gravity on the Busa vs. the Harley. With any bike, my backup plan for dropping it is to give that pitiful, little girl look and wait for a strong guy to come help me out!
Heidi, looks like you're the only female on the board? You have track experience that I'd like to have one day! If you don't mind my asking, how tall are you? I'm 5'7" and could put my feet down when I recently sat on that Busa. I'm going back to sit on it again just to make sure...who knows, my feet may have been dangling off each side like a little kid! I was just happy to find a Busa to sit on anywhere near me! I couldn't wipe the grin off of my face...
Slong & demeester - I'm no where near you guys! I'm in the U.S. - Virginia, along the eastern coast...it would be quite expensive for me to fly out and meet you guys and gals, sit on your Busas, maybe go for a quick spin! Wish I could! There honestly aren't many Busas around here that I know of...
Scott mentioned test driving one...curious to know how many of you were able to test drive the bike from a dealer? Anyone? Dealers around here won't hardly let you sit on the bikes due to liability issues...I was lucky to sit on the one Busa I've found...
Thanks to all the ladies for helping me decide...
