Im sure you are very versed in the handling of the Hayabusa or you wouldnt even contemplate such a statement
Anyway, £5k for an 8 year old bike thats been attacked by a can of gold spray paint and a demon tweak catalogue? As well as covering 25k miles?

The thing looks like a pregnant warthog.

Yeah looks are something you cant argue about, you can see for yourself and you either like it or you dont.
A few years ago i thought they were ugly myself, still do sometimes when I see them in the copper/silver colour scheme. The newer ones in the orange are very nice. I like mine in black with the black frame and gold forks. Now Im a bit older I can appreciate it as a bit of function over form in some places!  ____________________ RS125 > CBR6 > SV650S > ZX636R > GSX1300RZ Hayabusa > 06 RSVR Mille > SV1000S > Street Triple 765 RS |

I've not ridden many bikes, ridden an SRAD750, 636 B1h, RF900, FZ750, Slabbie 750 and an XJR1300, plus my GPR and a couple of scoots.
Of them the worst handling by far was the FZ, absolutely shocking, and I thought the 636 was brilliant
The biggest was the XJ or possibly the RF actually, and I had a hard time wrestling them around corners and couldn't "flick" them about at all, of course that could just be my ability.
Based on that experience I'd guess that 'busas are a pain to get around a bend at least.
Well that and half this forum agreeing that they really are straight line bikes when I first got here.
And before anyone even starts, yes, I know I'm 17. I'm a very very silly boy. Can we skip the lectures please, because nearly every opinion on here means fuck all  ____________________ Don't practice it until you get it right, practice it until you don't get it wrong.

Ive recently gone from a little cb250rs, to a gpz750, which weighs a lot more, and at first was a complete barge to get used to.
Im used to it now, instead of flicking it around corners you have to point it in the right direction then throw yourself off the side to corner well.
Much more fun.
Cheers

That's the TDR in the right colour too.
I think I had a moment of madness in saying "nice" but I respect the detailing and time spent on it yet maybe should've channelled his efforts elsewhere.(lol I can talk)  ____________________ https://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll9/manxhornet/Hornet001.jpg |
