from the riding standpoint... you really need to figure out what type of riding you want to do... track days on a busa will be more of a challenge than on the R1 if that's something you wanna do... but commuting, long trips, and daily riding would be more comfortable on the busa I'd imagine.

R1 is a gorgeous bike... and obviously a great bike... but imo... the Busa is a better buy
Yeah see my post above yours. For my riding, the Busa is probably more "practical" (if you can call a Busa practical )... and I won't be tracking that beast (or our R1 for that matter -- besides, Jennings is every bit a 600cc track from what I hear)
