I love the Busa it's the nicest bike of the three IMO. Very comfortable and unbeatable in a straight line in the right hands.

The ZZR has a few problems. It is about 600 lbs, it has a long reach to the bars, it vibrates (Almost but not quite as bad as a Concours), and its carburated. The bike will probably can get 40-50 mpg though. Most of the owners modify the clip ons to be more comfy and they add heavier bar end weights to help with the buzz.
BUT the insurance cost will be much less than either of the other two.
