Hey everyone!
I decided to pulled the trigger on a white 2013 Hayabusa. The dealership is going to deliver it tomorrow. 13425 otd in socal. Also got full coverage though USAA for $612 a year. I'm super excited but at the same time a bit nervous, as I have never been on a busa before or any bike over 600cc.
It's the bike I always wanted and was always so jealous/impressed when one pulled up next to me at a red light. I think I'm finally ready for it; I took the msf course 4 years ago, owned a 250 ninja and then a r6. The r6 had a very aggressive top end powerband while being rather weak and clunky at low rpms. From what i heard the hayabusa it is much smoother and predictable throughout all the gears and rpms. I guess I will experience this for myself tomorrow.
On the other hand the r6 was stolen a year ago and I haven't rode anything since. Also, combined on all the bikes I probably have under 5000 miles under my belt and I wouldn't say I am a experienced rider. I don't commute on a bike and usually just cruise down PCH here in socal occasionally on the weekends. I ride very conservatively and obey traffic laws -for the most part. lol. So, hopefully this goes well. Any advice would be extremely welcome. Eventually ill go to the California Superbike School, but I told a friend I would wait until he could afford it so we could do it together.
It would also be a lot of fun to meet up with some other owners in socal! Especially people that enjoy cruising the coastline as safely as possible vice passing cars at extremely high speeds. Eventually, I would definitely need to take this bike to its full potential on a track or drag strip. I live in Marina Del Rey, but also have a Jeep to trailor the bike.
