After a year of research (and lots of lurking on this forum) I finally pulled the trigger and bought my first 'Busa - a 2006 LE!
The deal with my wife was "finish the kitchen remodel and you can get the Hayabusa". So, naturally, the kitchen remodel became a *very high* priority.
Well, after much pain (and money) I finished the kitchen. Then, the fun part began. I got to go "shopping" for a bike. So many choices, so little time... Well, the choice of bike was easy. I had decided on a 'Busa long ago. But the color, oh that might be difficult. Which color was truly the fastest color (please no posts!
) Hmmm. Well, considering that my truck is *white* and my wife's car is *white* and my son's car is *white*, and the exterior color of my house is *white* and the interior walls in my house are *white", well, you get the picture... This choice was going to be very difficult!
(I was once told by an interior decorator that having a house with all white interior walls was a sign of some kind of mental illness. But, I didn't believe him...at least I don't think I believed him...)
Anyways, I found the bike I wanted in the color I wanted at the price that I wanted and I just pulled the trigger and bought it. Rode it home (when the weather permitted it - winter in New England you know) and now I try to get some break-in miles on her ever chance I get. Of course, I'm extra careful (new bike, sand on roads, cold, snow, ice, etc.) I promised myself I would keep her under 150 until she's completely broken in (my bad.. just kidding
, er, sort of...)
