I know its not a good idea, and i have read all the Newbie threads and couldn't agree more with you guys about getting a Busa as a first bike. However, this being said, I Pre-ordered the black/red 2011 model last week. There is only one reason i am doing this, I am not paying for it !! I met a Wonderful girl about 3 months ago and took her for a ride on my friends CBR600 and she fell in love !! Incidentally, that CBR is the 1st street bike i ever rode on and have only been riding it for a week before i met her. Let me start from the beginning. I am 23 years old, and probablly have the same backround as everyone else. Rode dirt bikes since i was a kid, Grew up in the city so more from the police than on the track, had a 125cc at age 13 and a 250cc at age 15. I was barely able to touch the ground on the 250 but again, i got it for free so i had to learn. I remember thinking it couldnt be any different than a 125 and took off down the street doing a wheelie. Un-intentionally, i didn't know if that was a drool or a piss trail behind me. But i learned to respect the bike and ended up getting comfortable on it. Until i let a buddy ride it and it was Bye-Bye bike, he shattered the piston. From about 18-22 i didn't ride any bikes, but this past June a friend of mine was at the bar on his CBR600RR. He's the idiot type and got drunk and wanted to ride his bike home. None of my buddies let him, but no one knew how to ride his bike home. I didn't drink that night so i took his keys and told him I'd get it home for him. WOW was I confused with all the buttons on a street bike !! it took me 20 minutes just to figure out that the bike won't start in 1st gear with the kickstand down. Luckily a seasoned rider saw me struggling and gave me a quick run down of all the controls and a few tips. I drove the bike to my house since it was closer and only stalled it out one time. Not bad for a 20 mile ride. I ended up keeping the bike that whole month since he got arrested that night, No details necessary.. he was drunk. After about two days of riding it i got really comfortable with the machine and started pushing its limits. I was pushing 150 mph on the highway by weeks end. I'm not too big on Speed or would never stunt my bike, But I have a burning desire for the 0-60mph range. I did not like the Off the Line speed of the CBR. I was expecting a lot more torque from it and It bored me within a month. Now that i have to return the bike to my buddy and my girl is really bummed that i can't give her a ride she wants to buy me a machine !! She said any one, make it my dream bike. What other choice did i have ?? They only make one dream bike.. and that's The Hayabusa !! I know i'm not a seasoned rider, and i have MUCH to learn still. I have been through some situations with the CBR though.. i've locked up the wheels breaking.. Put it in neutral instead of 1st on downshifts at stop lights ( 2nd Worst feeling ever).. and Have even been side swiped at 40 mph by a lady doing make up in her mirror and veering into my lane( WORST FEELING EVER !!) I did keep the bike up though, thank god, and Never did drop it. I hope When i Do get the 11' model.. WHENEVER THEY DO FINALLY COME OUT !!.. That i can grow into it and with a little respect for the machine, maybe i won't kill myself in the process.
