Hayabusa owners, check in !

I've noticed a lot of new members with Hayabusas. Tell us about your bike, if you don't mind. :thumbs:

Just got my 05 2 weeks ago.

I've noticed a lot of new members with Hayabusas. Tell us about your bike, if you don't mind. :thumbs: I've got an '00 blue/silver 'busa. Bought it brand new in Sept. '00. Only mods are a Yosh pipe, K&N air filter and re-map.....what else does a 'busa need? :lol: Just put some Michelin HPX's on it, and they are the best tires I've ever had on it. Handles better than the Bridgestone's and Dunlop's I've used in the past. :thumbs: A little pricey though, but worth it. Really enjoy it.... everytime I ride it, it still thrills the he$$ outa me. I've been fortunate enough to have never been down on this bike. Been on several long distance trips with it, and it's fairly comfy....

Just got my 05 2 weeks ago. Is that the limited edition ? I just ordered mine. How do you like it ? :drool:

I have a 03 40th annv. ed. It has a Brock pipe,pc3r,lowerd,air box mod,-1/-1 spockets and pair valve removed. I really like the bike it does everything I want it to. :dthumb:

Is that the limited edition ? I just ordered mine. How do you like it ? :drool: Yeah it's the limited. I absolutely love it. I mean of course the difference in weight between the busa and any 1k is most definitely noticeable, but still a 1k just doesn't compare to the looks of the Busa or seeing people's faces when you tell them what you ride.

Nice bikes guys!!! :dthumb: i like the new paint schemes on the 05's and how they made the clear lenses standard equipment.

Correction on my last post. It's not the limited.

I'm new here but here is a sample you will see it soon in your mag 500 hp :here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/469boy/100_0385.jpg

Nice bike!!! Welcome to the site!

Thanks ShanMan :cheers:

I have an 04 Ltd. I put a full Micron exhaust; Heli bars and a ZG dubbub. I really am happy with this bike. I went from a Y2K V Star 1100 to a ZRX1100 to the Busa. The ZRX is a really a fun bike (so fun that I kept it...) but the Busa excels in every area. Power, acceptable comfort and a great handler. Scarface

I love Busas, but I'm not fond with the passenger seat. I take it the cowl is easy to remove? I don't know if I've seen an 03 or older with a passenger seat. .

I love Busas, but I'm not fond with the passenger seat. I take it the cowl is easy to remove? I don't know if I've seen an 03 or older with a passenger seat. . Kind of a pain you have to unbolt the pax grab bar before you can install the seat cowl, but once you do that it's easy.

There is a mod you can do to the seat cowl. with a little grinding it will fit without removing the grab handle.

Hay, i've got a busa! Sorry, I cant tell you much about it or even show you a picture of it. I bought it 1 day before leaving for Iraq. I only got to ride it for about 5 min. By the way i'm new to the site, Love the Gallery! :pat:

Welcome to TWF. :pat: Are you in Iraq now? If so, where at. How is everything going over there? Is it your first time there? How long are you to be there? And sorry for all the questions. :dthumb:

Thanks for the Welcome. I'm currently in Mahmudya, Iraq about 15 miles south of Bagdad in the "triangle of death" the reporters call it. I arrived here in September of this year I'ts going buy quick. I cant wait to get home and get to work on the new busa! I've been trying to order parts here but it's kinda hard finding the time. :pat:

Well good luck over there and see you as soon as you get back. Enjoy the busa. Great signature. I thing I know the movie word for word. :dthumb:

Yes, welcome and God Bless YOU and ALL the troops fighting over there. :dthumb:

I'm surprized the busas solo is hard to take off... the Z1000/6R is just a snap on snap off thing, but then agian we dont get a grab bar and sometimes it would be sooo nicve for one.. easier to stretch out on the bike while still riding on it. And yes all very nice bikes. And im pretyt sure pre-03 Busas had solo tails.. but may not be standard equipment.... And wheres a 04 limited with black flames... that bike would the SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT that red with the glossed looking black rims and bright black flames... id sell the Z1K and buy it on the spot..lol then NOS it. and a polished Black can and all controls all black.. DREAM BIKE and wouldnt be afraid to ride it like hell all the time

shoot this bike makes the busa look like a turtle click here for the beast (http://www.suzukicycles.com/products/GS500FK5/Default.aspx) heh heh

Don't mind him. :lol: If they didn't seem to feel like a tank under me, I would love to get this one. :dthumb:

You can keep it DJ! But swapin the 750 for that would be a mistake!

You can keep it DJ! But swapin the 750 for that would be a mistake! Don't swap...keep the 750 and buy the 'busa. :dthumb:

WTF? sarcasum my friend i am getting the gsf probably so i was kinda joking around .... you got it :lol: :lol: :sorry: :loser: :dupe:

Don't swap...keep the 750 and buy the 'busa. :dthumb: Don't worry 2Fury...I won't hold it against you! :lol: :cheers:

Don't worry 2Fury...I won't hold it against you! :lol: :cheers: lol, Not all 'busa riders are squids. And I would never venture to take one to the track, but they are a lot of fun in many other ways. :cheers: Don't know if you have, but, ya really need to ride one to appreciate them. :drool:

My main problem with Busa's is usally the rider. Most of them, suffer from "Busa Disease".... For example, "I have 1300cc's.... I can beat everybody.... I'm faster, smarter, and all around better than you!!!"

Hello to everyone on the board. I'm new to the board and motorcycles but my first bike is a Busa. As soon as I finish healing my broken leg I'll be riding it again. It's a 05 Blue and Silver. I broke my leg the 2nd week that I had it because I was an idiot. I do love the bike though. Now I just need to take a ridinding safety course or whatever it is---Eric

take the MSF course it will help .... also sell the bike and get a more suitable one!@!!! lol thats a big bike there!!! lol just be careful with it it could be worse then a broken leg

:yikes: Did Bulldog just say something at the same time as using his brain. :yikes: Getting a Busa for your first bike is not a smart move as you can already tell by your broken leg. But, you already have it. Get to know your bike first before you try to open it up to see what it can do.

Sell the bike?-NOT, Next time I'll run over the damn dog that way I'm not the only one hurt--Eric :screwy:

I wish somebody would post or find the vid where that guy hit the small deer and the rider got flipped over and F'ed up!!

I picked up my red/black '05 Hayabusa 3 weeks ago. The weather's been pretty lousy here lately so I've only been able to ride it three times so far. But man this thing is addicting! :dthumb:

wait a second did i hear keep it in second it wont do 100mph. i know i can get a 12r to do 100 in like first???? a busa is like an old man bike.

Just got my 05, silver/black. GP tail is on order as well as frame sliders. I can't decide which 4 into 1 pipe I'm going to put on yet, though. For anyone that hasn't ridden one, you really need to try it.. it's nuts. :redevil:

There is a mod you can do to the seat cowl. with a little grinding it will fit without removing the grab handle. Between this post and my last one, I got a busa. lol I removed the grab handle completely.

take the MSF course it will help .... also sell the bike and get a more suitable one!@!!! lol thats a big bike there!!! lol just be careful with it it could be worse then a broken leg You guys know OrangeCrush is joking, right? :lol: http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c5/pigface//Huh/fishon.jpg

Just stepped up from an 2004 katana 600 that I bought 7 monthes ago. I bought the 2005 hayabusa last friday. Sucks though I had my wisdom teeth cut out and haven't been able to ride since sunday.

Good deal fishman!! :welcome:

Congratulations, you're gonna love it. I just rode 100 miles during my lunch break. :cheers:

That he's bragging about being quicker off the line on a 750 than his buddies 'Busa ? :pat: Steve.

:chill: :chill: IM JUST SAYING I BEAT HIM OFF THE LINE AND I GET HIM AND OTHER BUSA "S :tt: I WAS JUST WONDERIING IF THE BUSA WAS ALL SHOW NO GO TILL U GET OVER 100 MPH 110MPH THATS WHEN I NOTICE THE BIKE CATCHING UP OR AM I JUST :bash: :bash: THEM :bowdown: :bowdown: GSXR 750 ROCKS :iagree:

i think they just arnt launching it as well.... The busa is flat out faster off hte line or top speed while you are going stright... but the more power your bike has... the harder it is to launch hard and not wreck. Get a guy qho takes it to the strip every saturday and see if you can beat him off the line on a decent launch.

Just to let you know. That every time I race that 750 I'm not really on it. The bike is very violent out of the hole and very hard to keep down. Not to mention that every time I race him it is from traffic light to traffic light in traffic. I went from a 750 to the Busa about 4 months ago. I am still learning about the bike and do not want to wreck it or have my pal with his 750 trying to kill himself keeping up. Most of the time I keep short shifting. just to keep us both alive. :chill:

just a literbike at 900-100ccs is hard.. and the busa's got 20+ lbs of torque on them.... Most the guys running sub 10 sec passes pratice alot and most of them run wheelie bars.

:chill: :chill: IM JUST SAYING I BEAT HIM OFF THE LINE AND I GET HIM AND OTHER BUSA "S :tt: I WAS JUST WONDERIING IF THE BUSA WAS ALL SHOW NO GO TILL U GET OVER 100 MPH 110MPH THATS WHEN I NOTICE THE BIKE CATCHING UP OR AM I JUST :bash: :bash: THEM :bowdown: :bowdown: GSXR 750 ROCKS :iagree: in my opinion a 750 is harder to launch than the busa, the 750 needs to be revved pretty high to launch hard and not bog, while the busa can be launched at a lower rpm and then just drop the hammer on it and hes gonna be gone a lot sooner than 100 mph,,,,,, it must be that your better than launching your bike than he is with his,,,,,but a smaller bike does not always beat a bigger bike off the line.....all depends on the rider

Rider is ALL of the skill in drag racing and what makes things fast or slow. But i still think a higher horsepower and torque bike is harder to launch HARD.... any higher power bike is gona take off harder on the same power launch, but the difference is who can control that extra 20hp and lbs of torque to make it faster then the weaker bike. I can't imagine how hard it would be to make a 300HP bike stay on the ground to have a chance against a 600 just because it would be so easy to flip.. even with a half soft launch. I know my 1000 is hard to beat my friends SV650 on a short light to light just cuz if we are accelerating at the same speed side by side.. my front wheel is lifting while hes flat on the ground.... its the shift to second that he dissapears behind me.

my best 60 foot times on a 600 or a 750 was low 1.7's while i could run consistant 1.6's witht he 1100 all with stock swingarms and no tie down front ends......

thanks 4 the feed back :hug: so i was a litle bit wrong we ran a couple of more times and gus what im buying a busa :lol: :gary: my 750 ran well against it but it is :king: :damn: :upset: :sob: :cry: :cursin: but that means i must spend more money$$$$$ and i will beat it jayabusa watch out and all :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: gsxr 750 rules :iagree: :iagree: :dthumb: :drool: :sw: :phat: :smoke: :h16: :h18: peace out :leaving: :runaway:

I recently ordered a corbin for mine just wondering how much more comfortable is it than stock

:welcome: Tally & Chenry!! :twfrox:

I traded in a Yamaha Verigo 1100 for the busa in march.It's my first sports bike. I love it. I thought it would be alot quicker. I am looking for ways to make it faster. I put 6000 mi on it since march

:yikes: Not fast enough?????????? :scratch:

:welcome: Dulla!! But yeah not fast enough...maybe you should have gotten a 05 GSXR 1K?

I own 2 busa's, one for racing and one for show. My race bike runs 5.70 on motor. My show bike has a 300 along with every piece that can be seen chrome!It also has air ride. I will attempt to attach pics.

Yeah busa are a beast but we love to tame them. I currently ride in germany , But am from NYC and yes the Nurburgring is every riders Wet-dream blended with the feeling of riding on just adrenaline. I actually dont remember the ride because It was a big blur. It was definitely the most scariest and exciting ride of my life. But I recommend every ryder take a trip out there is possible. The ring is Unforgetable!!!! :yikes:

Got the busa in apr 03 Brand new right of the show room floor. Its the only thing I have got brand new........Was looking for a 99 busa but u cannot find a real nice one. Has a yosh pipe, power cam, and so on.....Will never let it go...thanks toddhttp://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc177/todbusa/Picture020.jpghttp://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc177/todbusa/Picture004.jpg[IMG]

What's up guys? I'm a Busa owner. I had a '01 R1 as a first bike and I traded it in for a all black '07 last September 26. I put over 47,000 miles on my R1 in 1 year and 11 months and they gave me $3900 for it. I got my Busa for $6900 OTD. So far, I put over 8,900 miles on it since September 26. I absolutely love it. I put PUIG d/b windscreen, K&N filter, Yoshi RS3 exhausts, and Corbin seat. I've done a couple of 12+ hour rides and it's very, very comfortable.
