i wanted to introduce myself been riding for 15 years, road raced(locally) for 2 years
i picked up a 2006 hayabusa with some damage( it was less that it looked on pics) i passed on a 02 with way too much chrome and not my style add ons on it.
I just took my first ride after aligning the front good power, quite smooth too, bike will be use for sport touring( plan is nm, ut, nv, northern ca then back inside and south to nm) still researching on bags
i also just installed a used subframe and wait savings wasn't a major corcern in the design i'm guessing that thing it's # 20+ pounds, just for fun i held my rc51(sp2) subframe in one hand the hayabusa in the other the difference was just incredible
if everything works out i might take it to bonneville and try for the 130mph club too
happy riding
