I was broadsided by a deer last year and it cracked my right side fairing and head lamp, I diddn't wobble fall off or anything and I was doing about 60- 65mph.
Look at it this way, the busa is shaped like a bullet, harleys and a lot of other bikes are shaped like nets, they can easly snag on things like deer and other objects unlike the hayabusa, hayabusa cuts right thru like a bullet.

I don't maybe some of ya swerve like a dummy, thats the worst thing ya can do.

I still have a large scar on my right leg from a deer when I got my V Max new back in 1992. I cut my calf of my right leg almost in half. I was lucky....
We had a 17 year old boy die two days ago down the road from my house on Church Rd. He was on his way home from working at a local pizza shop at 11:00pm when he crashed in a ditch. His body was found the next morning, deer hair was found stuck in the bike. It looks like he attempted to swerve to miss the deer and crashed in the ditch.
So sad may God give him and his family and friends peace..
It makes you think... I drove by the pizza shop that night before he went home and remember that lime green Ninja parked out front... Ya just never know...
