Re: Can I Buy A Hayabusa If I’m A Beginner
Smooth as smooth can be. The throttle is so responsive and the power delivery linear with no sudden power band step that it would make a better first big power bike than most of the litre sports bikes. Go mad with the twistgrip and you will soon be in very dangerous territory but if you have an inkling of sense (unlike me) all is well.
old and disgraceful so doing what I can while I can before I can't

Re: Can I Buy A Hayabusa If I’m A Beginner
I have to say that I would not recommend it. Its a great bike and for somebody who can ride and is used to riding what a great choice but would i want to go there for an early bike..... maybe not.
Learning from my Gixxer thou one of the problems that you have with large and very capable bikes is how easy it is to get to great speeds without realising you can do it.
Its all great and all smooth until something goes wrong and then when you get in trouble to don't want to be doing three figure speed, you want a bike that is light an maneuverable to try and get you out of trouble and probably want something that feels as close to what you know as a kid on your push bike to learn your road craft.
For me this is not a great choice something like a 600cc naked bike would be a good place to start.

This is what's needed...
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

I think it would be fine, you just disconnect 3 plug leads then every year or two you connect another one till your on all four (you may have to clean each one before you connect it).

That bike must belong to the guy walking away in the white shirt as he looks about 10ft tall

It's registered as a Warrior 125cc, if real it was pushed there - notice no final drive.

FM 03 ONA comes back as 'no details found' with the DVLA. Completely wrong year I would of thought for any of the donor bits on there anyway.
16 x kawasaki kh250 triple engines cobbled together plus a donkey engine to get it all going, so 49 cylinders altogether. Bit of a pig if you get a misfire on 1 cylinder. There is a final drive on the other side in the form of a BMW shaft drive. Lots on Youtube about it.
