What did you do to get your Hayabusa ?
- Thread starter c10
- Start date
Were you able to get a good 'test' ride on the BMW since it was sorted out?

Company I worked for for ten years went out of business took my 401k closeout and paid cash
rode down the street on the back wheel, literally. Rode it home and Put a 50 Shot of nitrous on it

Yeah, it's really like a different bike. Pretty amazing how a 750 pound bike can move like this. The ECU flash did the trick. It's unbelievable that throttle response could make a complicated bike like this un-rideable. But the BMW only works when you push it, that is keep throttle on the bike at all times. With the weird throttle it was very hard to manage the bike. Now, you can keep that little bit of throttle on it that keeps it going where you want and resolves the high CG issues with stability. Very happy with it now.
It was a tough bike to figure out, frustrating and expensive.

Like I said in my first post when I joined this brilliant site early December two 99s a 02 a 06 a 07 09 gen2 and my present squeeze (to my girlfriend sorry pet) my k4 busa loved the gen 2 but I'm a big fan of the gen1 busa sold the 09 and bought this 04
Picking our old bike up from being serviced, I told the wife to pick out our next bike. When I came back from the service dept, she pointed at a brand new 'Busa! She's a keeper!

To Mr Highlander hold onto that lovely Wife of yours She made an exellent choice on a smashing bike Ask my second squeeze (the other half) the sane question she would just scowl and squack don't like bikes Methinks there will be a big break up in the new year can feel it in my bones A lady like your lovely Wife is like gold dust here Mr Highlander
Was haunting the local ads site, there was one a couple of hours away that read terribly, poor pics etc. Made a very rude bid, that he accepted at 3am. Went up the next day, lad was moving back to Eastern Europe, and was a gent. As well as the bike gave me a load of spares, accessories and even oils etc that he was leaving behind, wouldn't take anything extra for them. Took it for a test run around Dublins ring road and just knew that this was a bargain.
That happened 11 years ago! Still have both, and they're both in great shape. Yeah, first wife didn't like my motorcycles either, so I upgraded to wife 2.0, who has enjoyed 90k miles of riding since 2001. Best decision I ever made. Do what you gotta do to be happy, and Thank You!

Well honestly I just told the wife I wasnt sure if I was gonna buy a busa, Duc1299, or double R. She just rolled her eyes. About six months of turmoil going back and forth deciding I told her its gonna be a busa. She says, of course it is. Got a smokin deal on a leftover and got zukes 0%...a no brainer there.
Oh, and she rolls her eyes alot over the last 22 years! Lol
She asked me one time recently, "Why do u need so many motorcycles, u only have 1 ass?!" I just pointed to 1 of her walk in closets. Haha

finally broke the motor of my ZRX and was choosing between finding and building a monster motor or starting all over with a different new to me ZRX when my wife suggested and new bike would be a better idea
There were few bikes currently on the market that appealled to me but the Busa was one of them
Sold the zrx
and so here I am
