Went for a decent ride today, Stayed out of the hills as i wasn't confident enough with the power as i have gone from a 250 to a busa with a small trip to ashburton and a couple of scoots around the city on a 1200 harley. Just went right around the city. Was brilliant, People had given me the idea that the busa was really hard to handle and would get away on you. Bullshit the busa is one of the most well mannered bikes i have ridden. Yes it is smooth and can go very fast quickly but not without you noticing. IMHO this is the best bike evah!

Im stll taking it easy. Was out the back of prebbleton today and i went the fastest i have ever been on the busa and it was 140km/h and it was only for a couple of seconds. What shocked me is just how quick i went from 70 odd to 140 man the busa can go lol. Still a bloody brilliant bike, hums thro corners as fast as i would like to go and can chew kms without any pain. I have done maybe 500kms on it now and im bloody happy with it. Thinking of going to sundown but i could only go after 3pm tomorrow but i may go just for a couple of hours then head back.

So, just watch the right-wrist action on wet roads etc.

Anyone else think jumping from a 250 to a Hayabusa the minute you get your full licence is madness??

Meh any bike can kill you dude, Yea sure the busa is fast and smooth but its never going faster then what you make it go. Its a nice bike to ride and a excellent fit for my big arse.
