Anyone else tired of this horse****? I don't own a Hayabusa, but my bikes forums crawl, due to the bike only being available for 4 years and not a great seller, so I thought I'd post here. (I'd like to own a Hayabusa one day in a few years.) I just got my new to me bike recently and am now surprised to hear talk I never noticed before while riding my first bike.
"Straight line bike." or "Drag bike." I'm on something slightly tamer, a ZZR1200 [145bhp/88ft/lb @7000 with my mods.] Not a Busa...but not slow, either.
) For Hayabusa/Blackbird/ZX-14/ZZR1200/ZX-11/K1300S/K1200S/VFR1200F and their ilk, you know, the 525lb-600lb wet but not sport tourer (FJR, ST, Connie) 'do it all bikes' 'GT' or 'big bore' bikes all I ever hear on forums, word of mouth and video comments is how you're better off getting off of the bike and having 2 or 3 guys lift the bike up and aim it in the direction you want to go whenever a turn comes up. (Which would be real interesting at Deal's Gap.)
So, just because we own the 'big boys'/'big girls' but not quite Sport tourers our bikes are fat pigs incapable of any degree of lean angle beyond a low sitting custom chopper. What gives? I understand the 250-600 and 1000s are agile at their 375-475lb weights, but all I EVER hear from them are crap that goes like "Yea, those things tear up the straights." when they're being kind. I'm sighing and rolling my eyes when they're being unkind.
Does this upset you guys, too? Have you inoculated yourself to this kind of talk? Or has it never bothered you? I have no interest in dragging knees and ****, but I can't believe that these clowns think that these bikes are incapable of that...

I though, that looks like an undeveloped neighborhood. Then I caught a glimpse of a few transformers until the culdesac gave it away.
