Hello Everyone
I'd like to say this site has been a real help to me picking out my first motorcycle. Some comments I listened to and some I took into heart. Like buying or riding a Hayabusa as your first bike. Being 6'2 and 240 sitting on the other bikes at the stealerships didn't fit me but the Hayabusa did. So I bought the Busa, and this didn't happen until 3 yrs after I took the MSF class. I rode my friends GSXR 1000 twice but he got that 1 month before I got my Busa. I have had it now for 2 months. I'm really glad I got it, I've clock 1742 on the odometer and 120 mph on the highway. I've read a lot about some of the guys coming from 600, 750, 1000. I didn't have that experience so I don't know anything about the slower speed or the lighter bike. I do know that I got on my friends 1000 and it felt like the wind might blow it over or sweep it up on the highway because of the diffences in weight. But I can maneuver great on the hayabusa, slow turns and fast right or left. Other than that I'm glad to be a Busa owner. Mods: nothing big yet, glad to have the bike, kick stand mod, pin strip gold on the rims, white bar ends, keiti tank pad, frame sliders. Looking to get new pipes for next spring/summer and bat wing passenger grab bars. I will remove the reflectors very soon, just still learning about the bike world and mods and loving the ride.
