Newb in the house...

Finally did it. Got a real good deal on a 2000 Blue/Silver Bus with 6700 miles on it. I've ridden a couple of bikes in my past and have had a few really fast street cars (to the tune of 10 seconds) but nothing compares to the Hayabusa.

I had a mint 98 Z28 that ran low 11s in the 1/4 all day long but I never got as many compliments and questions as I do with the Busa.

I'm in love. Even the wife likes it. Took her for a 2 hour ride yesterday and never even got above 6000 RPM but she was grinnin from ear to ear.

Nothin too special. The Yosh slip-ons, carbon fiber levers and new tail. I'll get some more pics as soon as I get back.




Thanks for the kind words guys.
