Just picked up a Suzuki Hayabusa this weekend! What a motobike it is. I have had GSXR 600's for 5years now so thought it time to change bike style slightly and get a bit more grunt. Well I certainly got that!

It goes like stink and I was quite surprised as it actually handles very nicely too IMO. Can stick anyone on the back and it just doesn't seem to have any effect (Or is that coz they fell off first twist of the throttle Wink

)

If you ride motorbikes and haven't ridden one of these then go and do it! just to appreciate what its about. Dont think I need to mod this one just yet! think its fast enough hehehe.

yes the busa is a cool little bike. . .a little awkward looking compaired to the GSX-Rs, but still a great bike

like ozzy i curently don't have a bike. . .sold my sv650s almost a year ago. . .wasn't very comfortable for a guy my size (not many sportbikes are) and the wife (then girlfriend) wasn't a big motorcycle fan

thinking of getting a ninja (6rr), an r6 (like the sound of the new one), daytona 650 (a little small), or a superhawk, whenever they make a new one (old technology)
