2002 Busa, from dealers, £5500, sat there saying buy me, bye me! Last week I was thinking of swapping my mortgage to egg and getting some extra to buy a newer bike (sick of the SOBs state of repair). I was thinking busa, until someone suggested a blackbird. Today the local Suz dealer just got the busa in, and it won't stay there long. I was offered a test ride, but I've not been on a bike since crashing the 550 and thought I'd better get some practice in on the 1100 first. Should I: A) Just buy the busa (credit card, finance, whatever). B) Wait until I get the re-mortgage and buy a cheaper one privately. C) Test ride the busa, locate a blackbird to test ride and then decide. -- AndyH, MIB#15 Suz GSX1100F {) Suz GS550 Katana '82 Black Suz GS550 Katana '84 Silver (in kit form) MZ ETZ125 (and still in bits) CG125 (Son's, but its still in my garage)
AndyH emerged from their own little world to say C. Never buy a bike without a test ride. You might hate both. Have you had an insurance quote? It's not like you'll use a 'busa much over the next few months with SOBs at the ready. If you've paid attention around here then prices are likely to be a lot less next year anyway.
