...the funny part is I guessed what it was before I opened the thread.....great minds think a like That's a sweet looking bike. I, myself, have been looking for just the right Hayabusa. Hopefully, I'll come across it very soon. Meanwhile, I'm stuck on my old school FZR 600 from 1990. As stated in a previous thread, I look like a circus clown on it......
Enjoy the bike and be safe......

Nice bike!
Yes, be safe. I have watched my dad put too many faces back together from bike accidents.

Nice ride. Just remember one key thing - it is easy to turn that throttle and go fast, but it takes time, patience, and skill to turn and stop.

I lost 6 friends in a year when they bought biles because they like mine.....1/2 them split cars in into two pieces.....

Robert -- Every time I get a mental picture of you on a FZR 600 I can't help but crack up. Dude, you've really got to get a bike more your size...

.....I agree!!!! However, until I come across the right 'busa, the 40mg the FZR gets, I'll gladly look like a circus clown. And then laugh at all the fools filling up there 25 gallon SUV for $80+ while I fill up the 4 gallon bike at $15

Yeah, I get over 40mpg with my 96 GSXR-750 driving in town to work like there is no tomorrow...
Commuting 0-60 in 3 or 4 seconds on 1st gear and so on... still getting 40~45mpg... Make those hybrids feel bad

I don't blame you.

I don't own any cars or trucks that have less than 8 cylinders. Just look at it this way. In London today, fuel ( or Petrol as they call it ) is almost 1 pound per liter. That's almost 8 bucks a gallon. Trust me, we still have it easy. Just ask EDGE.
