Some people don't have over 4k posts under their belt...

And I still say that I'd never want this bike... I personally like the Suzuki Bandit 600s like the thread I started that no one seems to have ever bothered to answer to...

oh, you'll want it someday, tangie. 600 is fine, but then you'll get used to the power, and want more. And heck a 1.3 liter engine will give you that power!! those busa's are rip snortin' beasts.

I agree, and disagree. I want more, but only out of my 6. When you've ridden with the Liters at full tilt and keep up or pass 'em in the curves. You realize you don't want one that badly.

a busa weighs a lot. Go to a shop and sit on it and lean a little. The get on a gixxer 1k. The difference if phenominal. The busa is closer to a sport cruiser with out all the cruiser luggage B.S. I'm not knocking it, its a great bike. But it is NOT for everyone or every use.

Like everybody has said, the Busa is meant for one thing only, straight line speed, I have taken one through the twisties without even riding hard and the thing just wanted to keep standing up straight (partly the tires fault) but it also felt like it was falling over at the same time. The Hayabusa is not all that much faster then a gixxer 1K, infact the 1/4 mile for 1liter bikes are only roughly 0.1 seconds slower in the 1/4 mile, and they are .1 seconds faster in 0-60. I would much rather get a big bore kit for a 600 or 1000cc bike to get more power then have to resort to getting something so ugly and heavy.

BTW, I was impressed with the 03 zx-12r, it felt a hell of a lot lighter then busa, and rode faster. Also, if you want a sport tourer, look at the FJR-1300, beautiful sport tourer with an engine torque output the same as the busa.

hahahaha, the Busa, HEAVY???? Surely you jest!! It's noticeably lighter than the 2k2 VFR800 Interceptor sitting out in the garage right now!!!!! I have yet to really "ride" the 2k2 Busa-- mostly b/c if there is an "oopsie" then tangie's b/f will kick her ass-- but I'm sure it will feel lighter on a "fun" road just like it does in the parking lot

I see. I guess I think about ways to cut weight off my 6 too much. *411lbs wet, thats way too much! Hmmm... mabey I can get rid of 50lbs here and there.* That thought is always running through my head.

Re: Hayabusa

What R1 said. It is noticable when you sit on the two. I have ridden the VFR800 a number of times... probably logged a good 2500 or so miles on it (would be more, but I prefer to ride my own bikes). I haven't done much but ride bitch on the Hayabusa, and play around in a parking lot, but the weight difference is noticable. Heck, even the old Suzuki RF900s were lighter than the Interceptor!!! V4s are good, and Vtec is nice, but the weight part blows ass.
