Hi all,
Daniel from Israel here, again, after 5 years of absence...
I have a habit of replacing my bike ever year or so (sounds crazy I know, but it's better than spending that money on drugs and hookers LOL). I previously owned 4 gen2 Hayabusa bikes, all brand new: A 2008 orange/black, a 2010 dark blue, a 2012 burgundy red, and a 2014 blue/white. between these I had other sorts of bikes (1 BMW and 3 KTMs). I thought that was it. Life moved on, and I got hooked on Ducati bikes.
But somewhere, the love for the big engine Busa was still there.
2.5 years ago I was involved in a very serious bike accident, nearly lost my life and the ability to walk. Went through several surgeries and after 6 months in the hospital and more than 18 months of treatment, I decided I wanted to get back on a Busa.
In Israel they don't sell them new anymore due to Euro regulations. So my only way to get a new one was to import it from the USA.
2 months later, I am the proud owner of a new white/red Busa, and in the process of getting it modified to my liking:
1. Yoshimura R77 carbon full system
2. PCV,air filter and dyno tuning
3. Puig black double bubble
4. Pazzo brake and clutch levers
5. Ram mount
On my to do list:
1. I want to replace stock lights and I am looking for a decent easy LED replacement.
2. I would like to add some spice to the Busa's front braking power (after getting used to KTMs and Ducatis, the Busa breaks feel very under-powered).
Any recommendations?
Busa love never dies!
