ride it and would not recomend it for any learners. be carefull if you are at the lights and want to just get infront of a car on my old gsx750 this was easy and i just speed away in first and think nothing of it - on the busa you give it too much and you will find yourself starring at the sky trying to get the front wheel back down. all in all the SuzukiHayabusa is a great touring machine that gives the best handling, a great deal of confort and a feeling of safety which is hard to describe why with a rocket strapped to you but it is just an amazing machine. I have a big weekend planned for it now and am looking forward to watching it eat through allot more K's on the way. ...
Advantages: Handling, big smile when your riding Disadvantages: ha ha trying to reverse the bike is heavy
licence). I am glad i have had 10 years biking experience and feel this machine requires a good knowledge to be able to ride it and would not recomend it for any learners. be carefull if you are at the lights and want to just get infront of a car on my old gsx750 this was easy and i just speed away in first and think nothing of it - on the busa you give it too much and you will find yourself starring at the sky trying to get the front wheel back down. all in all the SuzukiHayabusa is a great touring machine that gives the best handling, a great deal of confort and a feeling of safety which is hard to describe why with a rocket strapped to you but it is just an amazing machine.

Advantages: Amazing - the only word to describe it!!! Disadvantages: Insurance costs!
Having owned several bikes over the last couple of years i recently purchased a cbr600rr-4, an absolutely stunning bike, lovely to ride and topped off with the underseat cans. The only disadvantage - the wife wont ride 5 metres on the back of it!!! So i chopped it in and bought a Hayabusa!
It is a W reg with 17k miles on it, costing about the same as the 2004 CBR =O(
However, on the test ride both my wife and myself knew it was the bike for us - most bikes i have owned feel like they are doing 70mph when you are - on the busa you feel like your doing 30mph at 70!!! Not only that, it is comfy, there is barely any wind and the power is simple scary!!
Having said that, it is reasonably well behaved, in the wet care is needed not to let the back wheel spin (in any gear!) but the front wheel will barely ever raise off the ground ...
