Default New 'Busa owner checking in

Hello All!

I joined the forum a little while ago to lurk and learn more about the Busa since I planned on buying one. There is a wealth of information here, for that I'm grateful!

Over the weekend, I finally took the plunge and picked up this 2001 Hayabusa:



It's an original owner machine in really fine condition. Only a crack in the front fender mars the bike... it's really in great shape. I just got it insured and plated this morning so I've barely put 50 kilometers on it so far but I'm already smitten.

It joins three other Suzukis in my garage. Pictured left to right: 2001 Hayabusa, 2005 GS500F (wife's bike), 1982 Katana 1100, 1994 RF600R (my previous regular ride):



Glad to be here!

Great looking Busa. Nice collection you have there. I'm sure the RF600R is about to seriously feel left out

Good looking stable you have there, fine taste in thoroughbreds !
The Katana is a classic, my bro use to own one , get me on the back so he could practice his two up wheelies, the front wheel was never on the ground, till he cracked the frame b/c of his wheelie antics ....
