Hi gang :
This is my first post . So I guess I'm considered a newbie on this forum.
The Situation.
A strange thing happened recently....which I can't fully explain ??
After riding motorcycles for the last 35 years (over 500,000 miles ) I recently got the urge to ride a fast , (make that a VERY FAST) sportbike ! Enter the Hayabusa.
The background information.
I'm a middle aged rider.
I currently own and ride touring bikes, '03Honda Goldwing and '02 BMW K12LTC.
Over the last five years I have also owned a '97 Honda Valkyrie, '01 Suzuki Bandit,and most recently a '02 Honda 1800VTX Retro.
The Questions .
Does anybody on this forum own and ride a touring bike and own a Hayabusa. ?
If so , what was your reason(s) for buying one ?
Did it meet you expectations ?
And finally ...Is this bike suitable for a 50 + rider?
Any other comments or observations on this topic will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance .
