Hayabusa: Best all around motorcycle ever!

I never publicly thanked fastwin for such a great bike  [bow_down]  I would never hesitate to buy another motorcycle from this man  [thumbsup]  The Turkey Slayer is immaculate  [beer]

This really is the best do it all bike that I have ever ridden. It is capable enough in the corners to have fun. It is as comfy as a couch. It is a great two up machine. It is an easy bike to ride once you get used to the zero resistance throttle.  The Givi hard bags rock!!

What is my biggest problem with the bike?

Every Damn Squid Wants To Race!!

I also wish that it had radial brakes.

You may be the first white person i've ever seen on a Hayabusa.
You can live to 100 if you give up all the things that make you want to live to 100.

I think there are about three of us. I've been considering a Busa for over a year as a "sport touring" machine. I got to ride a Sprint for about a week and a half. I liked that bike as well. So, it really was between the two. I finally broke down and got the Busa in February. (I too have to thank Fastwin for the advice [thumbsup]) I love the heck out of the Busa.  ;D

Unfortunately, I've spent the last month taking off more chrome than was on my 70's model Chevy. We're almost there, but every time I perform some maintenance or detail another area, I find more.  [bang]
