New Owner

[hayabusa4fun]

Hey Folks,

Just purchased my first Hayabusa... woo hoo.. It's a new 2006 Black and Silver. I will be picking it up tomorrow and riding it the 80 miles home. Any advice for a new owner?

Just be careful and have fun, oh and take off the warning stickers, the reflectors, start pricing some cans and a new undertail, maybe a windscreen, some new grips, Throttlemeister, mirrors, check out getting a Tobin seat...ahhh, you're in big trouble! LOL

...congrats on the purchase and you must post up a pic of the new ride when you get it!

Jesus, thanks... I thought I was done with aftermarket expenses... guess not, well at least i won't be needing any chrome like i did with all the cruisers I've had... the windshield does seem a little low. The undertail I presume is where the lic plate mounts? yea thats UGLY...so what do I need for that and how do you get that thing off???

 

[hayabusa4fun]

I'll be picking it up from the steeler tomorrow and heading up to the Blue ridge parkway on saturday morning... I promise to post pictures on sunday...Nice Bike I like the cans...

The dealer did not want me to take mine home. Don't know your level of experience. The Busa is heavy and the most powerful and torque heavy bike I've ever ridden. Other than the weight you shouldn't experience the rest until you break the beast in. Enjoy

LOL Sounds like me convincing my husband years ago of why I wanted to give up the Harley (tired of modding it to ride comfortably) because "the Hayabusa is perfect as is and I won't need to do a thing!"

Now, at least, he's got plenty to buy me for birthdays, Christmas...you can mod the heck out of the Busa and until I found this site, I just had no idea...

It'll be fun, don't worry...you just might need a side job LOL

Yeah, the undertail gets ride of that mudflap in the back...cleans the rear up a bit...

Yep, and she does have a nice rear...

You only say stuff like this to get a reaction so you can see your huge Busa pic in a single thread over and over and over again...

I'm on to your game...

Congrats and welcome! You've got a lot to catch up, so start reading now.

The aftermarket business for Busas is huge! Be safe on the ride home and post pics.

Since everyone is posting pics, I may as well also.

Don't be sure about the no chrome.

Busted...
By the way, if the weather is decent this weekend, I'm gonna change the pic to a more current one...
I finally stripped the cans, and they are now just aluminum color instead of Candy Blue...
I think it looks much better now...
