Hey all.. My names Rob and I just joined the site.
I've been reading all I can about the Busa because I intend to get one in the next year or two.
Right now I own a gsx650f and while it's a great bike, my dream (since 2000) is to own a hayabusa. I love the styling, and aftermarket support, and the ability to twist the trottle and enter rocket mode every once in a while
My fiance is on her permit right now,a nd we are getting her a ninja 250 to learn on. Then after she's ready she will take my 650, and I will be getting a busa of my own. I'm 32 years old, not into the crazy driving and risk taking. Sure I'll pop up the front wheel once in a while, or open her up on the parkway if the road is clear.. but mostly I just like to cruise and costonize the bike to my personality and style.
A little about me.. I rode back in 94' for a season, and while on my permit my friend who was my riding partner took off on my on the parkway and lost control and was killed after flying into a tree about 300 yards ahead of me.
At that point I decided I didn't want to ride anymore. In May 08' I sacked up, and got a bike of my own. My dad has ridden his entire adult life, and I was a passanger on his bike until I hit my teen years and felt gay being on the back.. haha in fact he met my mother on his bike by giving her a ride so in ways I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for bikes.
Anyway.. I spent the entire summer on the bike last year, and rode through the winter when weather allowed. I feel confident in the skills I have obtained (have over 7k on the bike right now) and I'm feeling the bug to move up.
I am into modding, and the busa's support in the after market is exactly what I am looking for. While I could get a gixxer, I am really not as into them. The busa seems to be a slightly better tourer then a gixxer anyway.
I've done a decent amount of work on my 650f but finding parts is a nightmare, and 1off stuff is not my thing at the moment (that will probably change)
Anyway.. I wanted to intro myself.. and I can't wait to learn all the ins and outs of this bike before I make my purchase.
I'm sure I will get replies saying this is too big of a jump or whatever, and I welcome hearing everyones thoughts on this.
