Hello.
I am not american so I don't know if I even should be using this forum.
I don't have bike (A category) license (only B car category) but I was always interested in sports bikes. Now been saving money for something new like: new car, bike/gear/license, new gaming pc ;D, gun or anything else like that.
After my studies and work, I might buy something.
So is riding a sports motorcycle fun? For example is it fun just to cruise or going at extreme speeds on highway or cornering roads or doing stuns like wheelies and so on? (Now I am not crazy and don't want to endanger anyone EVER.)
Been considering a sports car but the bike seemed like cheaper thing. How does it compare maintaining sports bike and sports car, fuel economy, danger to others and self, general expense on insurance and everything else..?
I really like Busa for some reason. I am not expert in bikes though. I heard its comfortable, fast and it looks so cool and nice. I also like how iconic and famous it is and the name hayabusa . But it doesnt look like a agile thing.
If I would get into riding thing, what kind of bike should I start with and should I invest in best riding gear possible, unused , armor?
I was thinking of used Honda CBR 250 R. Read the review and it's said to be good beginner bike. Sadly here in my country normal used bikes for sale start at 600cc everything lower is almost scooter level. I haven't came across a single 250cc. Once I get license I would probably want year experience and training for 600cc or more.
About the Busa. Why do so many people like it? Is it because of looks, name or customization? There are other stock bikes at similar speed BMW S1000RR? Do you guys drag race it all the time or do stunts? Is it practical in any way apart from racing on highways? Going to gym, at friend's place...?
A very important thing in almost everything for me is dead solid reliability, durability. Is Busa one of the toys that needs more maintenance than other bikes, does every part have to be replaced? Does the newest busa have all the electrical stuff or is it more simple? How good is it at this thing. Are there any other sport bikes that are more reliable?
For example Volkswagen Golf MK2. People might say that it's outdated crap. But it is one of the simpliest cars. Parts are cheap and easy to come across too. Low fuel consumption. It is really practical car for everyday use. I still see many of them today running if maintained properly. Someone I know has Golf mk2 with 2M kilometers and it stills runs being maintained. (I know it's not sports car, it's just example.)
How does Gen 1 Busa compare to gen 2? From what I read Gen 1 is faster but less powerful because 2008 gen 2 stock is limited to 300kph --- is that right? Also gen 1 has nicer tail. Are there any other differences, brakes, tires, handling, suspension, significant acceleration? Is there trunk in stock busa? Which one is more simple, more reliable, has less problems? Is there stock passenger seat, OEM, or is that aftermarket thing I saw with handlebars? How does fuel economy compare between gen 1 and gen 2? Are there any inside changes on yearly busas or is it just looks? Which one is tha best busa? And are most of you guys mechanics, do you fix everything yourself?
Ok I know I asked too many questions here but I want to keep it cleaner by not creating multiple threads. If its hard for you to read let me know, i will edit everything for you to easily answer my questions
I know I am noob on whole motorcycle thing but I am considering starting this hobby and currently researching.
Sorry for mistakes.
