RIP SCAR This is a true testament to when it's your time....its your time. I've survived 2 accidents, one pretty horrific where I should of died and instead, somehow came away pretty damn good all things considered (rode into a rock face / forest at 120 kmh). Things like this make it harder...

Awesome feat for him, also surprising his was the only Busa. Hate to be the Karen mom here, but that's gotta be pretty dangerous when you're riding a motorcycle for over 24 hours straight though. I doubt I could even keep it straight on the road.

I see a lot of topics on the ECU being flashed and having it mailed around to tuners, however is it difficult to do yourself? I mainly just want to get rid of the limiter and increase throttle speed in lower gears. It looked simple enough - hook it up download and run the software and youre...

Thanks for the suggestions, however my friend Mikbusa nailed it down. My dad has the TRE installed on his bike, and I had forgot about that! Thanks guys!

I am assuming it has to do with the exhaust, and not having it properly dynoed, however I notice that my old mans 2000 Hayabusa has much better acceleration than my 2001. I have a Boz Bro B2 Moira 4-1 full exhaust. My dad has dual Yoshimura RS-3 slipons mounted on his. Neither bike has a power...

I'll upload some pics and a video tomorrow. Been a miserable few days here!

Sorry to hear about it Rubb, going through a similar thing at the moment myself. Go buy a pavilion tent and park the Hayabusa under there and live, might be worth it.

Not sure if anyone else has put this on their Busa.... but jesus is it loud. Never heard of Boz Borthers and was a little skeptical for the price, but the sound is pretty solid. It is however the loudest exhaust I have heard on an SS. There is a good chance I'll be able to drown out the local...

I'll give you his number, I'm sure you can both talk about Hayabusa's until the sun comes up ;-).

Girlfriend always gives him hell for it but he doesn't look too bad for 61 lol.

As a new member of the board and a fellow Canadian, I expect something from RSD as well lol. Read a few threads and it seems this good samaritan is parting out his life lol. Took a picture of my bike and my old mans for the board as well to oogle at. (Don't mind the mess of the garage, it needs...

I would stick with the Gen 1, it's a beautiful machine. Everyone has their own opinions but it looks like they brought in a team of girls to design the 2008. Looks like it has a feminine touch, while the Gen 1 looks a bit more like solid muscle.

Dr.Manhattan has entered a new Hayabusa in the garage. Go check out their 2001 Hayabusa GSX1300R!

I dunno if it's just me but the second picture, without the emblem it looks similar to a Katana.

Trade it into a dealer and pick up a Ninja 250, or perhaps something in the 600 range. If you are worrying about gas money, the repair bill, let alone the insurance on the Busa is probably going to own you.
