power you came on this forum hell bent on getting a 1300cc monster and in 24 hours you where down 1000ccs to a 250? hmmmmmmmm is that voice saying busa, busa busa back yet?did you even look at insuance on this bike? have you looked at insurance cost on any bike? for an 18 YO I can tell you it will not be cheap. what you have is like someone saying i want a viper, must have a viper, viper viper viper. then 24 hours later maybe a geo metro is the way to go. get a motorcycle, dont get a busa. a viper may not be a starter car but that geo may not fit you either.




ps: i learned how to ride on a honda 250 dual sport

Yes, I actually looked at insurance costs first. And yes, I'm still really stuck on the 'Busa, but I'm going for the 250R first. I don't want to lose the Hayabusa I buy, so I'm gonna start of small. (as I've said before)

1. Explain exactly how.
2. Convince me that they are not just 'different'.
