It's a real beauty and will be happier once you get the lag issue sorted out....

There's a beauty! Respect the power. I don't think a Hayabusa is a bad bike for a first time rider who is an adult with good common sense. It's nice and smooth and predictable. Just be very sure you don't get in over your head. I suggest you ride your first year like a granny. Then after that, always be aware you're not as good as you think you are. When you start to believe you have some skill, that's when you'll taken by surprise. I'd say after 3 to five years without a crash, you probably are then pretty aware of what you can and can't do. Even then, there are surprises waiting that can take out even the best of us. blablabla....I could go on and on because I just survived a crash and can't seem to get it off my mind. DO NOT go without a full face helmet ever! I absolutely recomend full leathers and boots even while you are learning and not going too fast. 55-60 mph is fast enough if you find yourself sliding.

Nice. You’re really close to Glacier NP, that whole NW section of Montana. Ever been up there? I was born a lil east of you in Kellogg ID, also a nice riding area.

Welcome to the org. I love this color combo. One of the first times I went to the drag strip I seen this same color bike. My dream bike was a gen 1 turbo and after years I was able to pick one up. Life happened and had to sell, bit do I miss that bike. Now the owner of a red 2020, great bike.
