NEED HELP ! HOW IS A 2005 ?

[jerry chabino]

Hi all,

Thinking of buying a 2005 Haya.  I sure would appreciate some feedback as to pros and cons.

Regards,

Jerry

it's fast
it's comfortable (for a sport bike)
in my opinion the best sportbike for taking passengers



it's too fast if you are a dumbass
it doesn't handle as well as a 1000cc or lower



you have to think about what kind or rider you are. if you do a lot of drag racing, long rides on mostly straight roads, but want something with a lot of power, yet comfortable, the busa is a good choice.

if you like feeling nimble, doing wheelies, riding twisties, or riding around a town with a lot of turns, a smaller displacement bike is better.




also, this goes without saying, you better have either some serious bike skills or be very mature if you are even considering purchasing a busa. Most of us here strongly recommend not using a busa as your first bike... remember it's not like a car... if u lose control in a car chances are your wallet will be the only thing getting hurt... on a bike that can do 80+ mph in FIRST gear, like 120 mph in second and still has 4 more gears after that.... well... i'm sure you get the picture.

Welcome Jerry,

If you are worrying about the differences in the years, you are pretty much covered with a 2003 and up. The clutch, ecu, and starter updates are all covered by then.

I'm 57 and I have an 05 red/ black too. I love this bike and enjoy riding it more every time I get on it! The people you meet on a busa are just the BEST. Go get one and join us you won't be sorry.

I'd skip the 05 and buy an 06.................












Did I mention I had an 06 for sale?
