Hey all, I have been reading your posts for awhile now and have decided to join in with a couple questions.
I am planning to buy a used Hayabusa in the early spring next year. I am 27 years old and have ridden motorcycles since I was 14. Started out on a 73 Honda 100, then a 82 Suzuki gs1100ez, and for the last few years a 2000 Buell Lightning. I sold the Buell for financial reasons but I will be in a position to spend $6000-7000 next year. I loved the Buell but the darn thing was in the shop more than I rode it.
I have done some research and decided my next bike will be a Hayabusa. Looks like the ultimate performance machine with decent comfort.
My questions are: Is there anything specific I should look for in a used Hayabusa? How many miles are they good for if taken care of? Where should I look for the best deals? Any other good web sites for info, research, parts, sales, that you recommend? Any former Buell riders out there that can tell me what to expect going from the Buell to a Hayabusa besides the obvious increase in power, like riding position, control, etc.?
Thanks everyone for your answers and advise! Sorry about all the questions! Great web site you have here.
