I'm kinda the same way. Did 2500+ miles on the Husky in 5 days. On and off road.

Let's see. I've done 1000 mile days on the Busa, the TLR, and the BMW, so everything in my garage has seen Iron Butt level riding.

So, to answer your question, I'll shoot for a 1000 mile day on anything!

From what I've seen/read, if you jumped on a 14 and ran a 1/4, then jumped on a busa and ran a 1/4, times would probalby be the same. The difference in speed is minor and IMO rider difference.
I personally like the looks better on the busa, but that's all personal opinion.
Connie would be a good option, unless you need really sporty.

the 14 may be faster then the 'busa w/ Ricky gadson onboard, but for us mere mortals it really makes no diff.

never really had a prob. w/ the brakes on the busa, though it did have upgraded pads

pick which one you think looks better

From traces expierences we know a busa is a capable tourer and has goodies you can add for touring purposes.

I think comparing the 2 is like comparing the zx-10 to r1. Either is plenty of bike for us mere mortals.
