My new bike. Something different?

[Armitage Shanks]

Just done the first 1000kms , it certainly seem to keep up with with the traffic ....

Picked it up on Jan 6th , was'nt sure about the WHITE but, from the look on the rear view mirrors so far...it seems i have'nt made a bad choice . Yoshi's etc to follow .....

Have I done the right thing ?? ....I think so ....:shit:

[davo]

I want to hate Hayabusa's - but I can't. Even with that round tail. Nice ride mate!

[nallac]

Niiiiice...not really a fan of white bikes, but those Busas do look good in white!.

well Sir....I'd just like to say....white is very sexy.

[EJK]

Hot dang, wise choice indeed.

[Fatjim]

Mice bike, and Honda riders everywhere will be feeling more masculine now too.

[metalslug]

always thought white is the meanest color for a busa...saw one the other day and it just look so awesome!! nice stuff

[Big Col]

I LIKE IT.
Looks Awsome.

[Headbanger]

3 wheelie bins?

That's high class.

we only have one, and the wife bitched about getting it for years before I folded.

I could never go back to just one wheelie bin, once you've had 3 you realise just how good life can be. The bike's pretty tasty too and just goes to show what can happen once you get 3 wheelie bins.

[cheesemethod]

That looks sooo sweet in white. Is it faster than the Swift tho? Lets find out sometime. You drive the swift and I'll take your Busa.

[240]

Personally i reckon the white ones look far and away the best.Good choice!

Thanks for your thumbs up's you guys, did have a couple of sleepless nights wondering if I'd made the right colour choice but I'm glad I picked the white. p.s It seems to have a pearlescent 'fleck' in the paint which is'nt visible in the pics but adds to the flavour. Maybe White is the new Black ?? As always, Discretion is the better part of Valour .....

[sil3nt]

I reckon they are ugly bikes...yet beautiful at the same time. Im like davo i want to hate them but i cant. Stock exhausts are horrible though.

[Latte]

Spot on I reckon , it looks like it's breaking the speed limit parked in your driveway.

[Jerms]

Where did you get the white wheelie bin...? :innocent:

[KiWiP]

Even with that round tail.

Although I'm more of a fan of retro bikes (Bonny T100 when I get my full) I do think this is a good thing. Manufacturers should be bold and push out some new 'brazen' designs. Push the boundaries of design rather than make easy and idle tweaks.

Although it's not for me I do think your ride is sweet and wish you many miles of happy safe riding :clap:

[TOTO]

is it quick or just fast ?

[LBD]

, it certainly seem to keep up with with the traffic ....:
Must be slow traffic up your way ...

Look nice in white....my minds eye can see blue and yellow checkers down the sides....

Got a few demerits left then?

Enjoy

Cheers and I do think it's a case of function over form, it is ugly'ish but does have an attaction about it, and it certainly goes Ok . .......bit like my missus, I guess

Nice bike by the way. Not my cuppa as you know but very nice.

"Motorbikes have high visual thermodynamic transduction abilities. Studies have shown that they don’t just make you look cool, they also make you look hot. Unlike most things, this is equally true for both sexes. Anyone riding a motorbike can expect 30-75% more sexual interest than those not riding one."

Good call, and I must say I have'nt read too much into the pschology of Bike's and sex and the cross-over thing. Not gonna happen tonight as me and the 'Lady in White' are stuck in Canterbury ....pisssing down and horrible.....:weep:

[Armitage Shanks]

Thanks and, what's a nice girl like you riding a GSXR1000 ?, Glad you like the WHITE , Yoshi's are ordered as are the 'Tail Tidy' and then a good air filter, get it mapped and I'm done ...counting down...take it easy

[Cracker]

Thats a beautiful new age white grunter of a bike. I'm a bit of a white bloke myself and am going about buying the white Ducati 848 from the good old USA where the price is right.

[Motig]

Never knew they had a white one till I saw your thread then blow me down saw one in Oamaru a couple of days ago. Did you to a quick blat after work to clear the cobwebs :gob: It looked bloody nice.

No, it was'nt me mate ...nice to know there's another one out there though ......:laugh:

[NZsarge]

I've never been taken with Busa's, never will be I suspect but i'm sure there are plenty of people out there who don't lust after what I ride too. Anyway congratulations on the new bike, enjoy. Oh, for god's sake ditch those cans asap, can't tell how satisfying a nice sounding/looking set of cans are...

I agree about the ugly cans, new Yoshi's were ordered last week ...they can't get here soon enough

[The Lone Rider]

What he said! Looks nicer than a black one.

Thanks El - Rider , might post a pic when my stainless Yoshi's are fitted plus the ' Fender goodbye' kit's installed .......must agree about the Black on the '09 , don't like it too much either...the black on the G1's was a little more ...hmmmmm , sexy ?
