Hi guys. I'm 57 and this is our (me and the wife of 34 years) 2nd Hayabusa. Got 3 sport bikes for track days, but Big Bird makes a great everyday bike, especially for two up riding. Love the endless torque! Put almost 1,000 miles on it in the first three weeks.

Been reading in the forum about some of the reported issues with the '08 bikes. Did my first oil change and after figuring out how to get the right side fairing off, had no problem with the filter. Only problem, and a minor one, is the cold start issue. However, it smooths out after a few seconds. Brakes are better than on our ,07 bike, but still not as good as I had hoped. Different pads may help. Remember, this is a relatively heavy beast and not fair to compare with a much lighter sport bike.

Good riding.

Welcome johng and wife! Glad you are enjoying it!
