I thought it was a 2013 first registered in 2015?

Congratulations.
Brace yourself for three questions:
1 gimme a go? From mates who who once rode a dirt bike like a champ.
2 is it fast? From lots of strangers.
3 does it wheelie mister? From kids of all ages.

Ps. Pics or it didn't happen.

Just checked the VIN. Yup the bike was manufactured in 2013 but do I care?
It has ABS and the warranty and whatnot is from 2015 onwards.

I'm more than happy

1. Lol - Tim my DRZ mate has already done more Ks than me on it. Top bloke who sold me my first ever bike though. There are other mates who aren't getting a go lol...

2. Yes - but I am genuinely surprised at how good it is slow. I was practising u turns and shit on the test ride. I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd want a 'Busa - I thought it would be silly and extreme. Not at all. Tis a Penalino tilting train with a jet engine and first class seats.

3. Haven't yet lol. And to be honest, I've never been a wheelie guy (apart from the cute little power wheelies on my old GSXR between 7'000 and 10'000. I just don't see the point - far rather go out and attack some corners.

Great choice of cans mister. Have the same but on a black machine.

When I was looking for pipes I come upon your bike & asked the question what you thought of them, most go for Yoshi's or Two Bro's but I wanted something different & I wasn't disappointed with these.




Congrats to OP now head down South Island & enjoy

Nice pic.
I haven't tried a gen2 but I can confirm you can uturn a gen1 Hayabusa in a bit less than 2 of the car parks at Albany mega centre. From memory my best effort was 1.5, but let's just say less than 2.
I don't think I ever did wheelies intentionally. Key word in that sentence was intentionally.

Either way get out and soak up some fun times. Those bikes are made for riding. 9 years riding one I never got bored with it.

Looks suspiciously like the Demonstrator model from Colemans - good Bike - I had a hoon on it.

Very nice! Enjoy your new banana bike!

I had an '03 and loved it except for rear tyre wear which is why i sold it - they go well but with a face only a mother could love....

Ever watched a car dealership salesman work over a couple?.

Its all... look at the color... look at the space.. look at the 7 seats for the kids.. to the lady and all.. look at the motor.. it can do 220km.. look at the HP to the bloke.

Greasy sexist as f**k sharks.

Admire the work ethic though

I've just retired my K4 GSXR1000 after 85,003 km. It was a tough job finding a suitable replacement. I tried everything I could get my hands on....
Finally I settled on a 2011 ZX10R. It's comphy enough to do 1000 km a day on 2 up. You can get a yoshi pipe for them. It's stable fast and I have grown to love the styling.
Give one a try.... it might just suprise you

I've seen and heard that black Kawa with the M4 pipes. Very nice pipes that suit the bike and sound great. A good alternative to the usual brands out there.


Yellow Bus, They won't miss you. Just watch out if you ever take it to the states - school kids may try to get on it.
