Why the Hayabusa is one of the only bikes to customize, probably more than the R1? , like chrome, wheels, swingarm? turbo ???

What do you think?

Best,
 
Because there is a market for custom parts..if not many people bought custom parts for the busa, then there would not be as many custom parts available..
 
I believe the reason why it is 1 of the most customizable bikes out there is because they basically didnt change the bike from 99-07...... and even after that alot of things are interchangeable between the gen 1's and gen 2's. Its hard to customize a bike when they keep revamping it every year which in turn parts arent compatible :whistle:
 
on top of being unchanged, the bike moved units. id guess itd be high on the most sold sportbike (or sport touring list) and the aftermarket responds to the streets. If 30 people a week are coming for busa parts and thats more than all the other bikes combined, then im making, shipping and stocking busa parts. The busa struck a chord with the mainstream tho. People bought it just to have it and some just to have the biggest and baddest. it came along at a time when the game seemed to change every few years (gs1100, zx10, zx11, blackbird) but ended that by holding on for over a decade which is also the decade that it seems the customization game went crazy and the economy was just as vibrant. the game is different now ....even proven to bigger and better in some ways lol i dont know of a ton of riders running out to get the 14.
