Hayabusa for an old guy??

[busabobh]

On my 2nd Busa, an orange 08, I’m 70 and still riding

 

[busafan08]

I heard rumor that the busa is a old mans bike

I heard rumor that the busa is a old mans bike

Pretty much confirmed in this old fart thread (Self included)

 

[busabobh]

Old men use the Busa to feel young,and make young men feel old.

What does age have to do with riding?

Be thankful you haven’t reached that age.

I am thinking of a Busa in my future. I have been off bikes for a number of years. My previous bikes were a Kawasaki 750 H2, (loved it) and a tree stump pullin' Norton 850 commando.
Now I am thinking of getting a Busa at 52 years old. I like to take it easy in the corners and crank it up on the straights when I have a clear view. Here in California there are lots of both. My style is to take it easy for a while as I get to know a bike and what it can do. Then I like to push it little by little till I have a good handle on it.
Any advice out there from other old guys.

I'm 60 in 3 weeks time and had mine 4 years, when I first got it I had a KTM990 Adventure and bought the Busa to keep my hand in with a big road bike.
I didn't ride it much or do much with it for 2 years coz I was fixated on the KTM and off road riding. I sold the KTM in Dec 15 and then started working on the Busa to freshen it up and give me something to focus on, I absolutely love my Busa and can't imagine any other bike taking its place!

I’m 52 and I just started riding the Hayabusa again after riding a street glide. And I’m loving it. Should have stayed with it. Love the speed. Go for it.

Bought my Busa at 48. Added some Helibars and a New Image seat to add some comfort. Works for me!

 

[piratediverjefff]

Also bought my first Busa at 48 in 2002(after almost 30 years of Harleys),on my 3rd now(also with Heli-Bars and New Image seat)and will be 65 this month.
