Great story! I was going down the street last week and I noticed a sportster coming down the street at me. I figured he wouldn't wave cause most HD riders here don't wave at a sportbike. He must thought he was cool riding with a cig in his mouth. Soon as he got next to me, he looked at me, pulled the clutch in, and started revving the engine. I busted up laughing and just shook my head at him. Another funny thing, the HD dealer here is also a Suzuki dealer. Talk about ironic!
LOL!!!! thats the greatest story I've heard in a while. 20 bucks says next time he's with his Hardly buds he'll say he hung wit'cha. Got a vid for ya though I'll be back in a few.
Makes 'ya just want to pull next to him and give him a t-shirt that says, "I'm sorry I thought your bike was fast!"
Yep.......isn't that about the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard.Good story. So he tought he really had you at first.
I ride with the HD boys often too, but these ones know better than the one I encountered Sunday.......one of them actually rode my bike last week.......I thought he'd come back, and say it sucks.....but instead he loved it......too funny!!Funny story MSF!
Gotta add something here...being around the Harley riders as I am, I think I can say with a good amount of certainty that many HD guys don't know anything about sport bikes...they don't look at them, they don't read about them, they don't know one from another on the streets...there are certainly exceptions, as shown by the number of HD/Busa guys we have here on h.org...
Those die hard HD guys have blinders on...if it doesn't have that familiar HD orange badge on it, they don't even give it a second thought!
My husband is an avid fan of all things fast...I mean, he knows about every concept car coming out, who's got the land speed record this year, hell, even what's the latest and greatest heading in to space! He's also a Harley guy, and he had never heard of the Hayabusa when I first told him about it...it's funny to see how he's "evolved"since I bought Caesar. Now he approaches other HD guys and talks all about my Busa! He's educating them one at a time...
You just ran across an "un-enlightened one" MSF! Poor guy...probably never saw it coming!
This one had the JJ hellbent pipes on it too......very loud!!!!
VERY SLOW though.
Wow......130 kph.......that is crazy......how did ya hold it in Hay???Nice going, MSF..
I know a guy with a BMW 1200 (saddle bags, electronic cruise control, heated grips, heated vest, the whole works). So, we're talking about his bike and my '02. Of course, the talk comes around to how fast we've had 'em up to. He proudly states "130" and that was "plenty fast". So you're thinking 'ok, that's cool'.. but wait.. remember, this is Canada.. that's KPH, NOT MPH.. 130kph = approx 78MPH.. too funny!!
Long live the 'busa!!
Did ya feel you should

I just purchased a 'Busa/ awaiting shipping from Ohio to Las Vegas.... another story on that but I know where the best deal on bikes are.. period!! After reading this thread I thought I'd tell a story. When i was about 14 or 15 my dad owned a Suzuki DR650. We went to a major hill climb event called Devil's Staircase in Ohio where I grew up. On the way back we were cruising down the highway and these guys on Harley's came up on us. My dad gunned it and we both leaned over as far as we could... as if it would help. This one guy on a Harley just went right past us and was making a waving motion as if to get around him. We were going around 100 or 105 and that was about all the DR650 was going to do. I just remember feeling humiliated even though I was a passenger. But in that moment out of nowhere came 4 sportbikes. Not sure what they were but were various new models. I sh*t you not, the leader of the sport bikes pulled up right next to us and gave a thumbs up and then, still going 100 or so with the Harley boys taunting us, he pulled a wheelie right past them and his other 3 buddies followed suit and just blew the doors off of them. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen to that point. Thankfully the following year my dad bought a 1200 Bandit and we never had that problem ever again.
Poor saps. Too funny. A few weeks ago I lined up with a brand new Vette and thought "oh geez here I go again". But the dude knew better. He just smiled and said, "cool bike, hey man why don't you get on it for me when the light turns green". The light turned green, he waived, I moderately took off then pulled a nice wheelie and never saw him again. I'm glad he did not try to race me. I hate the pressure and do not want a ticket but I cannot let some moron think he can beat me either. I prefer a good roll-on ass whoopin' to a straight drag anyway. Nothing like pulling away hard from a retard in a Porsche or whatnot at triple digits.

interesting vid, Guy on the Busa was either waaaayyyyy late at the light or probably bracket racing where you have to give the other guy a head start. Pretty cool watching a HD stand up though.I can't get it to play
P.S. Why does no one ever ever want to race me around here...arrrggghhhhh
