All honesty , tired of getting smoked on straights .Also realize that these liter bikes belong on the track-too dangerous when riding twisties on public roads-too many people get hurt -power is not the main concern -the light weight , along with short wheelbase ,and possible obstructions on public roads-straight ahead speed safer, if road is clear ,more stability on heavier bikes-that's why I am switching to a Hayabusa-More HP(which is the first thing I wanted after getting my R1 )more torque and greater comfort...and high speed stability...R1 :s are yesterdays news ....I don't care how hot they LOOK... Adios.......... (Sorry if I was being Politically Incorrect by Posting this here)

Enjoy your Busa...great bikes! I should know...I see them all the time in my rear view mirror:rock

 

[Smoken Joe]

Enjoy. Hope you dont get to board going in strait lines. Great bike if you are scared of curves.(not trying to be mean there) Just be carfull it is easy to get in a bad way when you are not giving the bike full attention.

 

[Maxxym]

why I ask why oh why????!!?!

lol

Enjoy her...=)

 

[SpdDemon]

Good luck! You ´ll be needed

 

[Swedie]

huh? I've beat several busas...

all up to the rider.

Would I meet my twin (don't have any.. but if I did..) on a busa and me on the R1.. the busa might win, top end..

 

[KneeDragger77]

uh....

yea ok, I meet guys like you all the time. There isnt a Busa I've met yet that can hang. SO it can get to 180 mph faster, but do YOU have the balls to go that fast??? Probably not. Enjoy living in your fantasy world...

"lets see, lets get a sherman tank, scale it down, and make it a motorcycle... as a matter of fact, we'll call it a hayabusa! Who cares if it handles, weights a ton, and looks like a freakin piece of crap, the public will buy it cause all they are concerned about is HORSEPOWER, and they'll belive anything they read...."

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Here's a hayabusa... I'll stick to the canyons...

...tragic story...sorry 'bout the rider, but happy about the innocents expected full recovery.

Lets use our heads, brothers & sisters, and stay alive.

 

[martinc]

yeah,more stable...heavier...yeah.

but a heavier bike,when in trouble,takes more time/muscle to come around...uh-oh.

enjoy anyways.

you"ll come back to lighter bikes sooner than you think...you just psyched yourself in getting that ugly bulbuous thing they care to call a...bike.(sport-tourer at that!)

 

[Ronin R1]

Need more horsepower??
Unless you live at Bonneville or your last name is Bostrom or Hayden the R1 has more than enough horse power for the street.
If I really thought I needed that much hp though I would rather invest in a turbo kit and a NOS system than a 'busa. To each his own though, if you were disappointed by the R1 don't expect more from that bubbled 'zuke.

 

[gtx1029]

hayabusa is a nice bike,but there is nothing hotter on the road right now than the r-1 which has enough power anyway.so unless you are planning to just race i say stick with the r-1 clan:iamwithst

? you have a silver r1(says your avatar), a 2002 i presume. And you've replaced it with a hayabusa? Talk about write offs

is this for real? :jump

Probably not...probably someone looking for a fight. :machinegu

 

[possessed007]

hahahahah

Don't forget guys he didn't mention what year his bike is in the description to my opinion its probably a 1940??hahahahahaha:finger :finger :finger

 

[sm00ker]

Good luck loser ohhhh by the way anyone can go striaight...... I think this guy just bought a HAYBUSTUP and is trying to make himself feel better about his mistake

Ya...I would so agree with this one.
But if he can talk himself into it and feel better about it...then more power to him.

Just remember kids:
Drag racing sucks. There's not much skill to riding straight...oh, except when a car pulls out in front of you. :finger

 

[EddyR1]

I think Kenny is right!

R1's are old news who cares if it an 02 or 01
model

right now at Yamaha there is a silver 02

been there a while now nobody seems to care

when I ride my new ZX-12 to taco bell friday
nights there are about 40 bikes

and my new 12 gets gets the most looks

and wants..


best trade I ever done!

 

[.1394]

whatever, i didn't buy mine to go straight or to get 'looks', i plan on taking it to the track where it belongs, if i lived in a place with plenty of wide open roads I would probably buy a 'busa or ZX12 though

 

[R1ZOOM]

Hey guys, below is a copy of Kenny's post from a couple of days ago. Sounds like Kenny needs to learn how to ride an R1 before he attempts dragging on a Busa. I found it interesting now that I see this one, even humorous! :lol
