Well - What did you do for lunch today.........
I went for a test ride on Suzuki gsxr1300 Hayabusa :headbang: !!!!!!
Huge thanks to Dallas for letting my wife and I take the Busa for a "spin 'round the block".
First impressions: it's big but it's not heavy (he's my brother) ...
Just as we were about to head off, ManDownUnder turned up with the RF and decided to join in the fun.
I was really expecting brutal power delivery that would throw us off at the first hint of throttle ... how wrong I was.
The power is smooooooooth and linear, encouraging me to open it up more and more.... Speedo check - Shit!! HOW FAST?!?!?!? Slowing down a moment to let MDU catchup I could see how easily my licence could be lost.
Once we got to the end of the NW motorway it was time to see what this great hulk of a bike was like in the twisties .... Well, not Hulkish, thats for sure. It actually handled very well. I was still riding very tentatively but Busa encourages you to go a littler faster ... go a little deeper ... Remembering my wife was on the back .... Ooops ... Sarah are you still there???
We trundled back through Albany and hopped onto motorway to head home .... On came the fuel light. I fear it is a bit thirsty but then, economy is not on my list of "must haves". :whocares:
Back at Colemans and both Sarah and I are in agreement... it's the bike for us. Big, Comfy, fast and good looking.
Unfortunately I have to wait until we move to Aussie to get one :crybaby:
I WANT ONE NOW!!!!!!
Hmmm I especially want the new 2006 grey and black one at Colemans but, That could take some serious negotiating with wifey. :love:
