Well, it was a little different for me. I hang with a lot of guys with sport bikes so the only question was "why a busa?" And the answer is always "to kick yall butts with little to no effort".
I had to look twice, I thought you were using my name
When you bought the busa

I get the "What are YOU doing on a Busa" question a lot. I have not come up with a really good come-back yet though. It has gotten me out of a couple of speeding tickets when the cop sees all the gray hair. One actually said "Oh, I thought you were some young stud out here trying to kill himself".

When my bike was still fresh from the dealership, the landlord's wife asked me, "Why didn't you buy a Harley?"
I'm ashamed to say that I wasn't prepared for the question, and in my weakness blurted out "Because they're too expensive." Fact is, I paid cash for my "08- could've had any bike I wanted. What I should've told her is that I was interested in the performance of the machine, and that I wasn't looking to bolster my self-confidence by buying into a BS image.
I've got nothing against Harley people, except that many of them are seemingly too busy trying to look "badass" to wave back. FWIW, I wave at any motorized vehicle on two wheels, regardless. Two-wheelers of any sort are sure to be quick friends of mine.

I always get the"how fast u had it so far" question...(to which they never seem to believe the answer anyways) Then, when they finally spy the nitrous bottle(s), it goes into the "your f'n nutz" comments...
I am with Anatar, when someone in america produces a sportbike comperable to a hayabusa, I WILL buy it, even if its a few hundred more dollars. But... I don't see that in the near future. So I guess I'm gonna keep riding all 5 of my "jap crap" bikes for now....

i say the 62 horse power and 73 ft/lbs of torque is just not enough...it's like a chiwawa makes lots of noise and no bite.
