On the other hand,,,
You have shown real maturity by considering this question before making a purchase decision. And whilst the busa is often referred to as a BEAST, it ain't no beast at all, unless you tell it to be.
In other words, the busa straight out of the box, is so good and so versatile and so smooth and rider friendly that a mature and responsible rider with the right attitude and respect for its capability, could learn to handle it over a period.
I would emphasize that respect for the machine and knowing your own limitations would have to be your focus at all times whilst riding such a machine.
There is no simple answer to your question and Col is definitely right in what he suggests, but it's generally an individual decision based on lots of variables. You alone can but decide which is the right way to go.
I'm sure you will get plenty of input here from our various members, weigh it all up and let us know what you decide to do. We would be more than happy to see you on one of our club rides (Melbourne in my case) and provide you with further input.
Good luck,
Les
