I already said this in your other thread, but I cannot express myself enough on this..

heres the situation.... father and grandfather both passed away when i was 13. both had life insurance. im an only child. i now have a 95mustang runnin 8s in the 1/4. now i am lookin to get a bike. im 6'5'' and 260lbs. im thinkin bout gettin a busa because of the size of the bike and the speed. curious on opinions and suggestions on the buying my 1st bike. also curious when the 187mph top speed gentlemen agreement went into effect. p.s. ive got some riding experience on a cbr600 that a friend owned. he went overseas i babysat the bike. p.s.s. im lookin for a bike i can take out on streets and comfortably ride around no long trips i just dont want anything to extreme to street (like my stang)

First off :welcome: Biggallemore and :twfrox: ... :yikes: Dude are you NUTS!!!??? I don't care if you have some rideing experience. a BUSA is WAY!!! too much bike for you right now. You will get hurt so fast I promise.
You need to start out on a 98-02 Gixxer 600, R6, CBR 600, Katana 600, SV650(S), or a new SV650(S).
Here is a thread you NEED to read:
CLICK HERE and please read the whole thread, and any link in here.

Also: look thru the forum and see what everyone thinks on a first bike.

I understand that you're a big guy but I wouldn't go over a 750cc... normally I'd say a 600cc but I'll give ya the extra 150cc's for your size.
check out the 7R or the GSXR 750. The GSXR will be faster and have better aftermarket support but the 7R may be more comfortable.

I know of a GSXR 750 that might be for sale here in Michigan....

So basically you just called him a fat @ss. :iagree: :lol:

Bull they are still fun, you just have a fear of getting busted again for doing them. Over come your fear and do them somewhere else.

no i am serious i havent had the urg to stop whatever i am doing and GO DO WHEEILIES

b/4 i used to freakin do them every chance i got i would go riding JUST to do wheeilies i was kinda dumb i guess but i havent done one above maybe an inch or so since

I watch very closely but I am on a mission to get somewhere most of the time. I pull it up at 11 O'clock and ride it out, then chill out and ride to my destination.
