Everybody have a great X-mas.
Well, they say if you're gonna jump...jump high. If you're gonna go with a crotchrocket, the Busa is the leader of the pack if you're looking for raw power. Be safe out there as riding the quick ones is a different mindset from riding the smooth ones.

Actually, it's Kanji which is Japanese. The name "Hayabusa" is the Japanese equivalent of a Peregrine Falcon a very fast aggressive bird of prey. The lettering on the side in Kanji spells "Hyabusa"

Yeah a Busa is sick. My friend has a super charger on his and it's insane. I have no problem with your new ride. My last crotch rocket was a GSX1100...
Just be careful...

Good luck! You must still be young or your back, wrist and shoulders must still be in good working order. I have a sport bike past as well but after I hit my 30's I was ready to ride longer days. Good friend down the street has a Busa and he tried to do just a 200 mile day with us on a toy run. Last stop he was really looking over all the bikes. I asked what was up and he said that he could no longer do the Busa and he had to get a cruiser!!!
