    How reliable is hayabusa ?

    pretty sure secondary butterflies would be a reference to the old 4bbl carbs we used to have on muscle car engines... Haven't seen a carb on a motorcycle since the 1980s... granted I was busy throughout the 90s, but fuel injection is way better... :)

    Gen 3 comfort

    I'm 6'0 and weigh 300 pounds and came off an ST1300... I also had comfort concerns, but the more I ride it, the less of an issue it becomes and I'm hoping that by the time Summer rolls around I won't feel like changing my bars or pegs at all. There are always aftermarket products to change the...

    Lids kids?

    I love my Arai - and easily within the $5k US budget (is it really 10USD per 1AUD? but don't buy for looks. First and foremost, make sure you get a helmet that fits right and is comfortable - otherwise it is useless.

    Looking back at the Crash Scene

    Late to the party, but when I saw that pic I was thinking "that's why you don't ride with an erection!" :p Glad you made it ok and hope you're able to learn something that will keep you safer next time.

    TPMS - yes, again

    I've had the SmartTire system on my ST1300 since 2005 and have not had to replace a sensor or even a sensor battery. Very surprising longevity - I really didn't expect more than two years, much less 16. I try to run 42/42 cold, but I'm not going to stop and fix any variance of 3psi or less so...

    @georgiabusa_05 dunno... I don't like cold very much... I'll probably just ride from one sundrop to the next...

    @kim windsor I've had a bunch but recently only the '05 ST 1300... in the Honda's RED is most definitely the fastest color. Unfortunately I don't think all the black paint in the world is gonna make up for the fat kid riding her and the lack of skills... ;)

    TPMS - yes, again

    Hey guys, sorry to revive an old topic that met with such controversy the first hundred times, but honestly, if you're trying to avoid controversy, I've found the best way is t stay off the Internet altogether... Now back to the topic: TPMS... The Gen 3 doesn't come with it apparently, and...

    What really sucks is since I bought it, it's been cold and so I have exactly 10 miles on it sitting in my garage...

    dropped my gen3 busa and my ego is hurt and feeling embarrassed

    However, I do know a guy - my father in law - who rode 50+ years and never went down... he did stay upright riding through the ditch once when someone ran him off the road, but never actually went down and commuted every day rain or shine (in PHX, AZ, so mostly shine).

    Well guys, after riding a Honda St1300 for 16 years and hanging out with you cool kids, I finally went and got me a Gen 3, black and Gold.
