Ive never riden before so I figured this was a good starter bike , j/k ;)..

I wanted something a little faster then my old bike and one that has good wind protection and one that is more suited for long distance rides so I traded it in the old one today and brought home this one...

Nice helmet. ;) Good to see you care enough to protect your brains. Nobody gets on my bike without a helmet.

BTW the biggest hurdle to getting this bike was finding an insurance policy.....man I had to make alot of calls before I found a reasonable one.

Country insurance....my good credit and age (34) helped.

Ugly but a monster. It will be fun!

Just set your computer up so it forwards your obituary for us. At least let us know that you are gone, GIVE US THAT MAN.

Beautiful bike. You're going to miss the light and tossable nature of your SV, though. I took my Ninja 250 out the other night and had an absolute blast tossing it around in a parking lot like a rag doll. You'll never do that on a Busa!
