Hello - this is my first post.
6 months ago I purchased a Hayabusa - my first bike I have ever owned, but not certainly the first I've driven.
I've driven manual, semi-manual/automatic, and fully automatic bikes in Thailand - everything from Korean War 'clunkers' to 2001 yamahas, suzukis, and mopeds - where I volunteer every summer working at an AIDS orphangage, transporting hospital supplies to an isolated orphanage, running errands, even using some of the bikes as 'hows' and mechanized farming tools. It's amazing how many uses you can get outta a bike! So yes, I've had much experience riding dirt and asphault flats to mountainous terrain - I've even driven up muddy mountain trails with two 55-gallon full water drums strapped to each side of the bike. Talk about a tear jerker!
I love bikes, crusing along at 140 km/hr along rice patties with the Thai sunset in the distance *drool* - point being I've got the Hayabusa 1300R limited, fully paid for, and I'd like to upgrade it. I've got some friends who race with 1000+ cc engines, and tons of mods, and I'd love ot join in.
I've never upgraded before, where do I start? I'd replace all stock parts with performence parts, but I don't know where to begin... replace the exhaust system first.. or go with the cam and shafts first?
Also, I've got cycle buddies who are opinionated supercharger or turbo supporters - no fence sitters. Which is better a supercharger or turbo? I've heard turbos have 'lag' - but this can be counteracted with a nitrous system. Superchargers have less power for the bike from what I've heard.
I'm looking for power - this is going to be a racing bike, where hopefully I can get into the same league with my friends bikes, and maybe earn some cash making a sleeper bike. Hey who knows!
Although I don't have a full list of upgrades I've spend some time on line and can recognize a few decent brand names - Yoshimura seems like a great all around brand, and I'm no means brand specific.
So here's my list of mods, I'm comfortable riding the bike, I was surprised how much power it has in it! - Stock!
I don't really know how sponsors work, but I'd like to get one. I'm 26, and my father passed away recently and left me a bit of cash. Spending cost isn't really an problem here!
