Sorry folks but I'm useless at making decisions that affect me [other peeps - no problem!]

I have had a VFR800 Vtec ABS for 6 months and like my cars its time to change. There nothing wrong with it [except a little tall for my short fat legs]. Which to go for???

1. GXSR 1000
2. GXSR 750
3. Busa

Not in my choice list : BMW, Ducatti, Kawasaki, Aprilia, etc

I want it for Sunday and night rides

Or should I hang on to the Viffer??????......................

All down to what you want from it really. I would think the Busa would be more comfortable for extended rides, but if it were me, I'd take the GSXR1000. No, actually I'd go for the R1 in "Extreme Yellow" - the only jap bike at last years NEC show that made me seriously consider parting with my Duke

I'd go for the 'Busa with a db screen and HID kit for the headlamp I would!

Although the GSXR1000 is insane, and quite comfy, its physically a small bike compared to your VFR, where the Busa is not, What about a Blackbird? Same Honda build quality and quite quick enough

My recommendation would be either the Gixxer 750 or 1000. It wouldn't make any difference what one you went for they're both great.

Love my GSXR1000 but it always leaves me with the feeling the bike is way more capable than me in terms of it's available speed! I'd be tempted by the 750, you'll probably feel like you're getting more out of the bike... The 1000 offers great torque though, able to pull fast in any gear which I love...
