Stewie,
Looking at your bikes you ought to look at something different. Go look at the BMW F650GS. I you like to do a little off roading and love to ride curves this bike is sooooooooooooooo cool. It also gets 66 miles per gallon. Or if you don't like that try a super moto bike. KTM, Buell, Suzuki, BMW. A lot of bang for the buck

you already have great bikes. Its hard to think what would compliment them..
How about a Honda st1300? I would like one of those. Kind of a combo of the wing and the busa? Or a old valkyrie and you could bolt a blower on it(they do make them for that bike).
I have an 03 wing and the rune. That is a tough combo to beat, especially when you ad the busa in there.
For sure it is an envible posistion :lol:

1969 Honda CB750 Sandcast, I think that says it all!

I like my M109R, so far. She's in the shop for her 600 mile service, and waiting for the recall parts to come in. Should be ready on Tuesday afternoon.
The 'Busa is all the sport bike this old lady needs! so can't say anything about the Kawasaki.

I can't help with this one
I sold my Wing and Ninja after they sat neglected in the garage for over a year.
I can't see any reason to ride anything but my Rune.
The Wing was more comfortable
The Ninja was much much faster
But in the end it's my RUNE I want to ride in on.

Instead of another toy
why not grab the wife and jump a cruse
After last weekends ride, sounds like you could use some relaxation

Ever think about touring the Alps, riding thru Germany, Italy, we have Rune friends here from all over Europe. Might be more that 10K with getting the Rune or Golwing there. But you probably can rent a Goldwing over there too.
Pretty sure the Wife would like it too.
My two cents.

Stewie,
After giving this some thought...........I hope you don't get upset but...........I would buy either an exercise bike or a mountain or road bike. Didn't you just tell us that your heart was in really bad shape?? Go get something that will help you get in shape so you can enjoy your life a looooooooooong time to come!! It will be the best present you can give yourself or your wife.

I just bought two BMWs and sold my GSX-R 600. I picked up a 2003 K1200RS for $9,100.00 and a 2005 K1200LT for $12,500.00. Every man needs three bikes, a touring bike, sport bike and a cruiser....er....super cruiser.

Nice selection. I miss my LT. Looking back I wish I had kept it and just added the Rune to the (small) collection. The 1990 K1 is a keeper, though!
Stewie-
Does Dog still have his M109R for sale? Not sure but I thought I read a post from him about it not too long ago.

ahh ok... well i think im going to go with a red kawi ZX-14... i know its close to the busa, but it will still be a fun little bike.... I looked at the 109R... they are cool bikes too, but I really dont think I want another cruiser bike... i have the wing and the ruuuuune for that.. :)... it may still be a couple days before I go pick it up, but when I do I'll be sure to post pics here for everyone.. :)
M109R sold asking 8800.00 and took 300.00 off cause it's the American way,the Canadian way too! When ya want 7500.00 dollars for something jack the price and then come down for a little profit or loss,how ever you look at it. Makes the world go around! I sent enough money up to Canada to get my three hundred dollars back-just kidding! It just sat and sat and sat some more so it was time to sell. Went fast 127 hp and the sell went just as fast 127 hours. ZX-14 will be a nice bike to anyones collection.........go-4-it! Happy Birthday. Will the picture be a wheelie of stewie (maybe bouncing) in fifth gear. I hear you got one of those busa stickers from Japan? Has one of your left hands installed that yet? dog

supposed to storm this weekend... so my plans are to clean all 3 bikes and put that busa sticker on the rune.. :twisted:
I wish I had one to do that! What a novel idea! Maybe a couple Rune stickers for the busa?? :tools1: :1st: Git-r-done! dog
