Windblast is a big problem on the blade if you aint crouching down. Gixxer doesnt have that problem either as its bubble screen is the largest in its stock form.
I infact want him to buy the Blade ! But his needs are those of touring and city rides. The Blade doesnt like city traffic. Busa can take it. Its got 2 of everything..2 fans 2 radiators.
The blade cant tour consistently for its 200 kms to a tank and then you hit the reserve worth 4 litres.

The blade will be very easy to live with but then so will be the Busa. Butter smooth engine...and acceleration that of Santas reindeer sledge crossing the horizon in seconds.
Its big..it figured in a movie...its got twin exhausts...its got more ccs. we love that

What I fear is that he will buy the Busa and then develope an addiction to sports motorcycling and cornering. Make sure you dont change your preferences midway for although you can corner on a Busa...before you actually acquire that skill level you are gonna be in your fifties.
But if touring isnt your goal and you buy anything other than the Blade you havent done enough research in my eyes lol
To each their own ofc but the CBR1000RR just got even more insane to me after I tested all supersports and every other litre class out there except the ZX10R.

@OP : whats your riding experience ? I aint gonna throw any unwanted advices your way..just wanting to know for info !
