Howdy from Ohio

[Texatl]

Howdy, From Ohio. I’m new to the Hayabusa life but not new to motorcycles. I bought a slightly used 2018 Black/Orange Hayabusa with 400 miles last July. Took a couple of spins on it before putting it away for the winter...

The Busa currently shares the garage with a 2009 Star Roadliner 1900 and a ‘74 Triumph Trident 750. Before the Busa I have had some fun (and 1 just kinda fun) bikes- Hondamatic 450, Suzuki GS750L (rebuilt winter rat/cafe project), Suzuki SV1000 naked, Buell M2 Cyclone, and an Yamaha FJR1300 (hated that bike).

Looking forward to some miles once the weather warms a bit (April I’m sure... I hate Ohio). Thought I had completed and intro post before, but looking back I had not.

So Howdy!!! Oh, and here is a pic or two ;-)

Welcome to the addiction

It is that!

 

[Bumblebee]

It is that!

It can get expensive being on this forum...I see the great mods people are doing on their bikes and it inspires me to do a few as well...

Great looking busa. Being in Wisconsin, I can sympathize on the weather situation. I usually don't take the bikes out until June.

OK then :-) Here are the 'Busa's current friends. The Roadliner has the Stratoliner OEM bags on it now, not the ones in the pics.

Welcome. Your bike is one of my favorite color combos for the Busa.

 

[Slowstang305]

Nice, love that color!

Nice, love that color!

Thank you both! It’s funny when the PO had it listed and I saw the first pic I thought I was red, and I’m not a huge fan of red. But then when I saw it in person, and that orange really popped I fell in love with the color. It probably the best color combo on a bike I’ve ever owned.

WELCOME! , wow I like the colors!
