Holy hell, I think hitcher was an english teacher in a previous life....stalking threads just waiting to spell check everyone, in fact I think there is an exclusive group of them on this site.

You think?

If Zed could wheelie a Blackbird, you can wheelie a Bus!

I test road a Busha which was for an extreamly good deal for Germany with some extras too. Braided lines, performance exhaust etc..

Yes it was confy and yes it handled well and yes for sure it had more than a bit of OMFFP!!

But it wasn't for me..

I am still not that grown up yet I reckon.. I still need to do wheelies and stoppies between corners and ride in a playful way. knee down and all that carry on in the twisties.. So I have bought me a sports bike that is reletively mild in comparision to ZX10s and the likes and maybe a tad more comfy..

It's my first bike over 600cc and I love it :-)

Thanks for the advises none the less and I am sure I could possibly consider the Busha in a couple of more years.

Busa or ZX14 for solo, if your doing a lot of interstate work 2 up then a ST1300 or a Concours 14 would be the better option. The ultimate freeway flyer has to be the Goldwing though.

I'd stay away from the ST1300 (Pan European). There's a wobble that comes on at 120mph. Most police departments have replaced them since the flaw was reported.

I have never heard of nor experienced that problem. However I can think of other reasons not to procure an ST1300.

I've ridden a few st1300's & have been around Honda bikes for years & never heard of this issue, besides if you think a wobble @ 120 miles per hour(200 kph) is an issue then mabey you shouldn't be going that fast on a public road
