Well, I finally did it, got the Hayabusa out of the garage! **Now With Pic**

[Hayabusa Rider]

Weather has sucked. Have that much needed new battery now, and it is at the shop to be inspected tomorrow. Going to be 75 or so when I pick it up. Fear me!!!! BWAHAHAH!... er.

Well, can't blame a guy for getting excited

Decided to post a pic. She still needs that bath though.

GSX-1300r

Don't kill yourself in an excitement-induced fit of speed.

On behalf of the ATOT community: I demand a "filmed from the gas tank" vid of you flagrantly violating your local speed limits.

Wheelies a plus.

 

[Spac3d]

I am so jealous

Enjoy the great weather with a sweet bike

Wonder if I can put a wireless webcam on a helment

Flagrant speeding is reserved for the back of beyond interstate stretches in VT and NH. Around town, you would be disappointed in me

Anyway, maybe have some fun during bike week here

Mostly Harley types, as is usual, but fun to go down the main beach drag in Weirs Beach and see ten thousand or more bikes all lined up.

Now that I have a digital cam, I will. Want to give it a good bath first. Amazing how dusty something can get in a closed garage.

Hmm....I see wireless webcam + bluetooth-equipped laptop velcroed to the tank or something.

140 mph Neffing. What could be cooler?

World's fastest production motorcycle. What more do you need to know?

See the linky

Mine is the black/gray like you see there.

Fausto1 is indeed correct. Not only the fastest, but the '99 is the fastest production bike that will EVER be made. Reason is that the EU demanded that bikes be limited to 300 kph (186 mph) starting in 2000, and Japan did not want to make 2 of every bike, one for Europe and one for the rest of the world. You can defeat the limiter, but that is cheating, and therefore my bike remains at the top for unmodified bikes.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Bump for the edit

 

[TubStain]

That bike is beautiful. :music:

 

[boyRacer]

Hayabusa is the ...too much for me though... i'm saving up for a 600 or a 750...

 

[ndee]

That would kill me in a minute.

 

[faZZter]

Fastest in a straight line, not in the twisties.........still, nice bike.

Thanks. Tis true, a Gixxer in the twisties has it all over me. The advantage I have over a 1000 is really ergonomic. The 'Busa being a larger bike allows me to do 500+ mile days, while the thought of riding a gixxer or other all out sport bike makes many cringe.

 

[Zugzwang152]

you, sir, rule. I'm too much of a puss to even get a moped.

 

[mAdD INDIAN]

Damn you!!

I want a motorcycle, it seems like its hte perfect commuter in the summer, cheap to own, maintain and insure. Not a killer sport bike like yours but commuter motorbikes (if they have those in NA).

Many different kinds and sizes of motorcycles. Go for it!

 

[jlarsson]

I want one ... I also wish I had that kind of money right now, but college bills seem to prevent that.

nice bike! how much would one set me back?

 

[Gand1]

Ever have that monster dyno'ed to see what your actual hp was?


Bought a dumped 2000 gsxr600 with 130 miles on it to turn into a strictly race bike and dyno'ed 94hp with stock exhaust!

 

[mjquilly]

I thought I heard that the new gixxers were quicker than the busas? Oh well, not my style. Just picked up my 2003 Liquid Silver Yamaha Road Star Warrior yesterday. Damn I love this bike.

 

[Balthazar]

I would love to own one of those, but I couldn't see spending the money for something so impractical, I'd rather put it towards a Camaro.
