Default 06 gsxr1000 or busa?

well ive been riding for 4 years now and i plan on upgrading my bike. my current bike is an 01 r1 but ive gotten tired of how ridiculously common they have become in my area, they are basically the civic of bikes. anyways i decided to try out suzuki and decide whether or not i want a gixxer or a busa. obviously for the straightline performance it would be busa but i live out on backroads and want the back to handle well considering it's size. so i ask this: how much difference is there in handling between the 2? if it is drastic ill go with the gixxer but if they are almost the same id go with the busa. as it stands now, i'm leaning towards the busa. the performance plus i think the bike looks a lot better especially with the black and gray scheme. well any input will be most welcomed and i hope that as soon as i get the bike i will be welcomed into this great civilization of zuki-topia
