See if we HAD twisties, it might be an easier choice. But we don't.

From a strictly $ standpoint... the busa : $8600 http://www.kbb.com/kbb/OtherVehicles...48&YearId=2006

vs the R1: $7500

..again, you know I look at these with an eye towards the $'s; so take it with a grain of salt. Just seems to me that the busa is a bike I could ride for a year or two and break even or even make a dollar or two.....
All true... Hmm.... (and we did think about that, that the price on the Busa is so good, I could ride it for a couple years and either sell it and probably still make a bit on it, OR keep it for a 3rd bike.

Hmmm.....

and BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I love that there's already 10,003 votes!!!!
