Looking at bikes.

[Pushit2.0]

So I stopped in at Heinens Yamaha in Osseo, looked at a few bikes and just wanted to know what the bike people think. The 06 busa is only $8999.xx, but I do not think thats an option. I have riden an 05' R6 and full throttle 1st or 2nd gear was quick but did not scare me. So I would like a bike that is fun and easy to ride, fuel economy and price are what I am looking at. Also I only want to buy one bike, none of this easy-into BS. So what should I look for, what wears out, what needs to be watched, what dealer ship is good, what companys make the best/worst bikes. I do not plan to mod the bike but what about extra stuff, warrenty, jacket/pants/boots, helmet, etc. Here is what I saw at the place

Gsxr 1000 or a Newer Yahmaha R1
if you get a 600 you'll just get bored with it like you did your talon and gvr4 and want to go faster

Yamaha YZF-R6, GSX-R600 or 750, Honda 600RR. Those are my favorites for the smaller sport bikes. If you want crazy fast... R1, GSXR-1000, 1000RR...

Are you set on buying brand new?

I am "set" on a 750 or 1000cc bike for sure, but the 600 would be best for mpg I suppose, and brand wise I have heard good things with Suzuki, I am open to what ever though, I am not to worried about cornering to much, but some twistys at some point would be fun. I like straight line speed, thats why I checked out the 06' busa(not sure on miles), it was the same price as the 07' 600, crazy deal it looked like. Used, I do not know what to look for, how many miles do the motors last, clutch, tranny, chain, breaks, tires, suspension, what is the life span of these parts? Any dealers people have good luck with? Also break in I have heard a few things on this but not much, I would think 0 miles is the place to start? I will read into everything more over the week and post what I find, thank you.

good question, I am also interested for someone who knows what to look for on the used bikes, things to look out for etc :)

Make sure the bike was not dropped or dumped. It could wreck the frame. Take some one who knows about bikes with you. Also if you are set on a busa buy an older on like an 04 and save yourself 4 K. Busa's are nice but is more of a touring bike than a fun to ride bike.

You should pick up the black 06 V-max they have sitting up there.
