HELP! I think I've lost all my marbles! I'm thinking about getting rid of my '99 ZX-9R, (had it 6 months, it's gotta go!) and today I stopped by my local Suzuki dealer and looked at Uglybusas. They are still the butt ugliest motorcycle built, but I find myself strangely attracted to one. Personally, I'd rather pound nails through my testicles than ride a Suzuki, so this is really freakin' me out. Please, talk me out of it!!! ____________

Get the '02 silver busa, I dig 'em and I want one, I find they actually fit my short little frame (I'm only 5'8") better than the 12. But the 12 handles better so I'm stickin' to it. A local guy here said to put a gixxer 750 swingarm on the bus and it'll handle killer...Personally though, if I had to get a suzi, it'd be the gixxer 1k

Yeah, but then the looks go from butt-ugly to boringly generic. I really wouldn't fit on a 1000 either, I don't think. ____________

Too true.... I might consider owning a Gixxer 1000 if they didn't look JUST LIKE every other Gixxer....How freakin' boring!!!! At least the 12 is unique to it's smaller siblings.

Buy another 12? I've considered it, but my first one kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. Nothing was really wrong with it, it just pissed me off that Kaw refused to make the fucking thing run properly. Since I can't decide what to do now, I'll probably just do nothing. ____________

If I get any smarter, my head will explode!
My biggest bitch with my 12 was that it had the usual flat spots in the ECU. Dealer worked on it, but just succeeded in moving them around. Tried to get Kaw to replace the ECU, but they had no interest in doing that. I did not feel like putting a Power Commander on the bike to make it run like it was supposed to.
