Did you keep the 'busa or sell it to fund the 14?

Interested in your thoughts on pros/cons of the 14 vs Busa.

Aye up Typan, just up the road in Leigh, I am similar in that I too am looking to swap my Busa for another 14.
Must say the experience and members of this site is massively helpful.
Enjoy the bike and the forum.

Hi,for me the reason I wanted a change was,the riding position, also the busa doesn't like slow moving traffic,to do any fettling the damn plastics are always in the way.therefore is only so many mph you can do without losing your licence.many more reason to mention.just always wanted a Gsx 1400.

I rode a GSXR 1000 ONCE. Was really happy when I got off that uncomfortable thing. 15 years ago I was going to buy a Bandit 1200, sat on it -- "ohh shit, I need O-legs to handle that thingy's gears and rear brake." The dealer: "I got something that will fit you a lot better." Got the 14 and loved it. Had to sell it a few years later because of health and financial reasons. If getting a bike again then only the Lady. Now I have one again and a constant grin and :boogie:

I second that. Just had my 14 a couple weeks. Not done polishing yet. Went for a nice outing today and can start over polishing. Will I get done? Not ever :lol:
