Toaster's new bike - HAYABUSA II
Hey all,
Thought it fun to put up a few photos of the new bike I picked up from Colemans.... a limited edition K9 Busa. Ltd Ed meaning it just has a few extras and bling. More bling on its way too
Fantastic to ride, already did 700 miles in its first week with a trip to catch up with the cruiser group in Taupo. Back in Taupo now and ready to head down to Wellington for the protest ride. es its in miles.... a USA bike with both km and miles on the speedo and the odometer in miles. A challenge to my mental arithmetic at the best of times!
The bike is sublime to ride, very comfortable, ther smoothest bike I have ridden (and there are many I have tried out) and pretty good on distance/fatigue with all my aches and pains to put up with. Only made a couple stop on the way down to answer natures needs and my desire for coffee!
Rode down to Taupo again the other day and managed the 350kms from North Auckland on one tank with 4.4 litres left in reserve and the fuel light came on at Acacia Bay.
The previous week had pushed it more and did the same trip with 1 and 1/4 tanks, so if you are "cruising" its got pretty dang good fuel economy.
Its a fun bike to ride, plently to play with without losing ones licence and plenty to go for it if you wanna try to meet your maker early. Around the lake was fabulous, the only limitation was rider ability/nerve and not pushing it harder to levels it was obviously well capable of. I think I'll wait for a few trackdays before getting too carried away with the horsepower.
Lots of fun!
Safe riding to all.
Cam.
p.s. the last photo is proof that men CAN multitask!! My babies Mitch and Samara. I love you and miss you more than you know! Dadda xxx
