It's a long ride to get here, but there are a lot of twisties along the way Might almost be worth comeing over. I'll throw a couple beers in the fridge for afterwards.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
Why anyone other than a hopelessly addicted dragracer would want a Hayabusa is beyond me. They have the turn radius of a 747, you'll never get out of 3rd gear in town, and if you even use 30% of that thing's factory power, you're riding too aggressively for the streets. Test rode one about a week ago and I think I've definitely decided to be a 600cc guy. That big bike is too responsive on the throttle and not responsive enough in curves. My little bike is "just right".

I kinda feel that way about bikes like the Honda Rune and Triumph Rocket III, but, hey, to each their own. In the hands of the right rider any bike is "just right".

I'm scared to even sit on the Honda Rune. It looks like it is worth more then I am.

That is a serious machine for your first ride. A ton of power that you really have to be wary of. Are you going to use it to its potential at all? Ever? And, are you going to be able to handle it??

Then I stumbled onto your website and read your post for the new bikers. And quickly changed my mind, instead of the Hayabusa I now own a 05 GS500F. Just wanted to say thank you for the great info and advice, and for probally saving my life.
PS I'm taking a MSF class next month I do have my permit so I'll be riding my bike around my subdivision.
If you'd have gotten it, there could have been two of us Black/Purple guys here.

I looked at the 05 the other day, does it come in any other color than the maroon? Are you doing any mods to the tail, I really wasn't to fond of the license plate bracket.
