I am in a quandry...I sold my bike (ninja 500r) and now am without. I had a friend talk me into the Triumph Daytona 675 but they sold the SE that I wanted and not really attracted to the other colors. I have always wanted a Busa, since I even owned a bike but people are talking me out of it because they say it's too much bike that I'd be fine with a 600 or 750. I sat on a 2008 at RMC today and it was soooo comfortable. But is it to much to go from a 500 to a 1300? I guess if I am going to spend that kind of money on a bike, I would rather get one that I would never have to upgrade...HELP!

i brought an 08 the day it came out and its a great bike but have had more fun on other bikes thats for sure

Its like they all say, a motorcycle masterpiece !

What motoman is really saying is "The Busa scared the crap out of me and I don't know what I'm doing!" Go back to riding your "Shadow 650" and come back when you can ride! If your buying the Hayabusa for the same reasons you would otherwise buy a CBR or a gsx 1000 then you've bought the wrong bike.

anyone has info on 2008 busa

both bikes suck everybody on here sucks..slow pieces of crap go for the y2k bike with a bell helicopter jet engine in it doing over 250 mph and with a butt load of torque

goin get me one in two weeks

An absolute incredible piece of engineering and machinery! One of the all-time PINNACLES of motorcyle engineering and execution! The Japanese are AMAZING!

How can anyone say the busa hasn't set track records or standards? The 1999 model certainly set the standard by being the fastest production bike ever made... Also, a busa set a quarter mile record for any gasoline bike without a wheelie bar...

Well to respond to the guy who said that the busa blows and he is waiting for the kawasaki 1400. I raced one of those kawasaki 1400s which was owned by a man who raced motorcycles for a living and all I can say is that dont waste your money on a kawasaki. They are truely a worthless waste of time and money.

Blackflag is a bitter person. Jealous, envious...pic a synonym. Probably owns a Cowasucki. Blackflag.....isn't that a bug killer? Or does it refer to improper racing technique on the track?

I am 50 years old and have had over 25 motorcycles in my life and have drag-raced professionally since 1975. I have owned Suzuki and Kawasaki motorcycles. The 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa is still and will always be the King. The reliable and smooth king will rival any bike. Yes, I took it to the track and have driven it to Daytona from NY and it is rock steady. I am currently waiting for Vance and Hines to make a special 4into1 pipe and mapping, that is the best in the industry. Kaw,Yam,you will never catch up with the Busa and the only reason people complain is because they don't own or can afford one.

what a worthless pile of metal... way over rated... ever see any hayabusas setting track records or setting standards? no. id much rather wait for kawasakis 1400

Over done and over hyped.

i own a 04 black and purple busa biek is smooth fast and loads of power. i had my fair share of bikes and this is the tops best purchase anyone can do. oh yeah and its one beautiful lookin bike

Blackflag33 is hilarious! Can he be serious? This bike is SOOO fast!

I've got a 2003 Busa and it is the smoothest, most powerfull and dog gone sure fire fastest motorcycle I ever have ridden. Bring it on all comers. Unless you have a busa.

Purchased a 2004 Purple/Black Busa on 04/01/04, so am still in break-in mode. Bike obtained from Cycle Sports Hawaii, and had accessories pre-ordered and installed before pick-up: DD chromed slip-ons, double bubble chrome wind screen, 5-spoke chrome wheels, chrome passenger grab bar, rider & passenger gel seats w/Hayabusa kanji, braided brake & clutch lines, under tail kit w/LED turn signals. I did these mods simply for show, as I have no intention to seek any more power from this beast. This speed pig has more capablility than I dare to explore. Besides, there just isn't enough road on the island of Oahu to even make the attempt. As far as blackflag33... I agree with letereat: that boy's just blowing smoke. The Hayabusa is an outstanding machine!

My BUSA is my 7th Motorcycle. I love my BUSA. Everytime I get on it and twist the throttle I get more and more respect for the bike. I can't for the life of me think why anyone would not love a bike like this. It has everything...From a relaxed seating position to unbridled power that is just a little twist away. I have ridden other Super Bikes like the Blackbird and the ZX, but nothing compares to the power and pull that the BUSA has. MY COMPLIMENTS TO SUZUKI FOR FINALLY SETTING HONDA AND KAWASAKI WHERE THEY BELONG...ALWAYS SECOND TO THE HAYABUSA. Those of you who REALLY have one know what I am talking about. medemattia69@yahoo.com

blackflag33 has obviously never rode a motorcycle in his life.

its a worthless two wheel junk pile
