    I want a Hayabusa

    Allways have had a thing for Busas and it is time for a change.. I want one and it looks like the prices are right on a new one. Can anyone please talk me out of abandoning old faithful (Bandit) for such a beast..

    ...

    Well that really is a poor attempt to convince him OUT of getting one. Damn they look good. Nadrojs one we followed last week was nice. Sounded awesome and looked sexy. (The bike dude, settle).

    After following him for 80k or so I decided to put it on my list of bikes I am far to irresponsible to own.

    someone say bang? for a BUCK!

    I'll buy that for a dollar!

    oh yeah... don't buy the busa... really... you don't want to.

    They are shit compared with riding on anything else on the road

    My other half (BusaJim) is onto his second one. (wrote first one off on diesel spill last year and went straight out and got another) He wouldn't have anything else.
    We use it for touring all over the country 2 up (with tents, sleeping bags etc all stashed in soft luggage) It is a very comfortable tourer, especially for the pillion.

    Then in the weekends on with the racing hump and off to do track days, flying quarters etc.
    Then Mon-Frid he uses it to commute to work.

    Perfect all rounder.
    My 2 cents.

    Give you sore wrists
    Give you a huge adrenalin rush
    Put a huge smile on your face
    Oops - bugger!

    I say go for it. If you like it, why not. Just one thing to think about. I also love the busas and wanted to buy one this year, but the problem I found with the big bikes is that they don’t go as well as the sports around tight twisties…long straight roads and big sweepers, no problems, like a dream.So I have decided to go for a new sportsbike instead, purely because I do the tight twisty thing more often than long straight touring..
    You will find it quite different to the bandit, but sure you will love the power.And the price of the new ones are really good..saw a 06 in masterton a wile back for under $20k..Enjoy the new busa!!!
    Don't you just love golf?

    Summed up completely.

    Take one for a test ride and then TRY TO convince yourself NOT to buy one - HEHEHEHE good luck
