Hi, new here. I'm in the market for another bike and I'm actively looking for a Gen2 probably a 13+ because of the brake upgrade. I have a few reasons I want a Hayabusa, mainly I want more comfort but still a sport bike. I ride 600's and my current one is an 08 Ninja zx6, extremely fun bike to ride, and I put over 20k miles on it, but needless to say the comfort isn't there, the high revving engine and lack of torque make the rides less and less enjoyable the older I get, so it's time for something bigger, better, and more comfortable.
There are a lot of nay sayers when it comes to Hayabusas, mainly because people think that one might only want it because it's so fast, or perceived as a status bike, I'll hear get S1000 it's faster, or Hayabusas are crap because they're heavy and would get destroyed on the track or in the twisties. Usually these kind of comments come from people that own neither or don't have a bike at all, or no riding experience what so ever, so I try to disregard comments like that. I realize there are faster liter bike out there, and if I wanted another track weapon I'd get one. I like Hayabusas for other reasons, and ready for the commitment. I guess I just wanted a little encouragement and a chance to introduce myself. Cheers.
