My standard defense of my '05 Heritage is that if I wanted to go fast, I'd have bought a 'Busa!
After my dirtbike racing, I'm afraid I tend to do what the bike wants to do. I don't need every cop in Atlanta looking for me, so I'll keep the tractor.

Congrats on the new scoot. I also have a past with the sport bikes. I still love them, its just that they are so fast and the truth is, it almost seems as if you cant keep it under 100mph on those things. I defitnetly see another one in my future, but I'll still have the Harleys in the garage.

The new busa is bad ***. I saw a lowered Orange/Black one the other day at the local hangout with a GSXR 1000 Rear Fairing with small LED's in place of the bigger turn signals and something like a 240-250 tire in the rear.

Simply bad *** !!! Im not a fan of the wide tire kits on the sport bikes, I guess since it was only a 240-250 it still looked proportionate to the rest of the bike. Did I mention it was bad *** !!!

Ride safe,
I test rode a buell 112cr for half a day when the dealer was blowing them out the door for 8K. In addition to finding myself doing three digits much too often, my wrist were sore after about 2 hours.

Fun, absolutely, kind of like high grade explosives.


Be safe.

If you change your mind and want to come back, remember that Harley is giving $500 over blue-book on metric trade-ins until January 31st. With the depreciation on your new Busa, this means you can get up to $1500 in trade.

I'm kidding. I used to move between a Harley and a BMW until I was able to afford both.
