I've been lurking the forum for a long time looking at bikes for sale and reading all about Busas. I've been interested in them for years but after having total knee replacement surgery in 2005 it was uncomfortable to ride a bike with a 90 degree bend in my knee, much less sportbike posture. I ended up with a Harley Sportster with forward controls and kept it till 2011 when I had to have the knee replacement revised. They took out the piece in the top of my leg and replaced it completely. I sold the Harley that year and was really getting the itch bad to get back on something this summer. I road several big bagger types and didn't like any of them. I REALLY wanted to like the Ducati Diavel but the ride wasn't as nice as looking at it online was. I considered a V-Rod but the local Harley shop was rude to me more than once so I dropped that idea. The nearby Suzuki dealership let me ride a 2009 Hayabusa and I was hooked. I should have bought that day but I let that bike slip through my fingers. However, in late August I found a 2008 I really liked on eBay. I still held off but when it didn't sell I contacted him and ended up buying from him outside of eBay. So, without further ado, my 2008 Blue Busa. All the mods were done by the previous owner, lowered, stretched, wheels powder coated, white brake line, white levers, shorty pipes.
