Well I picked up a 2006 grey/bluehayabusa yeasterday!
My dad rode the Busa 250 miles back home (me = no lisense
)...and get this, with him (big/thick guy...about 250#s) setting right in the wind with a jacket flapping....and on a motor that is BRAND new (bought with 0 miles) , bike got like 45.6 MPG! :hail2: This was mostly all highway driving, filled up at a little under 1/2 tank and with him rolling back on the throttle in 6th gear 4 times from 70-90 and 1 time in 5th from 70-90.
Man I thank God for this bike and pray he keeps me and anyone else ridng it safe always!
Now to my driving it! WOW, I LOVE it! (I drove it around our neighborhood a bit...rediculously fast and I havnt pulled past a 1/4 throttle!) Funny thing is that I nearly dumped it in our gravel drive way on my first time taking off/turning
...WOW touchy touchy throttle lol. First time really riding a bike and didnt expect it to want to GO that easily...Headed for his truck and grabbed the clutch and front brake while in a slight turn. Was a little heavy on the front brake lol...but I cought it and I learned real quick to ride the clutch more in gravel and be MUCH easier on the gas.
I didnt really think it would, but this bike truely scares me....I mean you can just FEEL the power. I cant describe how much power the bike has on tap for such LITTLE throttle imput. My dad and myself are the only ones riding it thats for darn sure.
Anyways, here are the pics!
And here is my new Helmet. My dad....man I cant thank him enough. He bought me a $560 helmet (retail= $690), $280 bike matching jacket ($330 retail), $60 tinted visor, and like a $50 pair of gloves! All for my early Christmas present...and he also co signed for me
.
Did I mention he bought himself a 2005 Suzuki C90 boulevard that was decked out be the previous owner along with a $200 helmet?!?! Ok on to the helmet LOL.
And to add to this long post lol. The service manager told me these 2 things that dont really seem right.
A. ONLY use super unleaded gas (93)
B. This is a racing motor and doesnt like to be under 4000RPM...keep it @ 4000RPM or above at all times when driving.
Seems like BS to me...but please confirm.
BTW no im not some rich kid...I work at a company called Freescale. I just live at home...so no rent helps me out. I payed off my 25K car, bought my 66 with cash when I was 14, and am paying all gas/insurance/payments on the busa as well.
