I didn'd know dealers did 0% on second hand bikes
Tell me more please, is it a suzuki thing?

My local Suzuki dealer C J Ball were doing it over the winter. Ended 1st Feb. I got in on the last day. Right place at right time. I got 3k for my 09 Fazer and had to pay 2900 extra for an 08 Busa. It came with a rock solid warranty and had full Suzuki history and 1 owner. I could have got one cheaper elsewhere but not with the security of a franchised dealer. The 0% was the icing on the cake.

Ye i agree nice one.
So im prob better waiting til next winter when they are trying to drum up extra custom and that gives me another year on the fazer to decide what i really really want. 8)

To true, it's now the start of the season, so deals are still on but you'll have to work a little harder. Best time to buy is mid to late December.

Inmy opinion those Busa'a and ZZrs are just too big,bulky, we rode along with one of each all the way down to Florence last year, the ZZR looked more comfy than the Busa,, the Busa seems so so long,
then there was walking then out of the garage in the mornings,,well we all could see that was a challenge.I was well happy with my FZ1s until we went over 140mph then these bikes were into there own ground, but only then.They were ok for ordinary riding but i have been into Wales last year and the ZZR14 rider was not happy turning into them twisty twisty bends like the Fazers and Gixxer.
An ageing test pilot for home grown widgets that may fail at anytime.
Perhaps on our narrow and twisty country lanes they aren't the best choice, but does their size and power not have any enticement? I love the idea of a big heavy bike - its a challenge... and I'm a little bit mad. I do sometimes consider applying to get an HGV license (later in life)... for absolutely no other reason than to have the experience
You know, with all these things and my love for muscle cars, I'm beginning to think I may have some American blood in me...
That's one lovely looking Busa. I've ridden an 07 pretty much flat out and they are amazing. One of the few desirable bikes I get my feet flat on the floor. The one I rode had a really bad finish though, the paint was coming off the fairing.
I use my bike for commuting so I don't need anything more than my Thousand. I've had a few Blades and loved them but bought my Fazer because I struggled in heavy traffic with the riding position.
Enjoy your bike matey it's a beaut.
