First Ride!

:drool:Everyone,

Thank you for your advice regarding the Hayabusa as my *second* bike after having ridden the Ninja 250 for a year. My 'busa was delivered about 90 minutes ago, and, after getting some gas for the tank (was not full from the dealer) I have just completed my first ride on my new machine.

All I can say is, wow!

I kept the bike in Mode C most of the time, but switched to B and A where opportunity allowed once rolling. The bike will live in Mode C most of the time. I was very pleased to find that the throttle and clutch are easy to control--no surprises. This made for easy stops and low-speed turns, as well as easy starts from a stop. It is VERY true that the bike gains speed quickly--without the rider really realizing how fast he is going. I had to keep a close eye on the speedo, especially since the police are out in force this weekend due to the Independence Day holiday.

Very manageable bike... and I think it will be LOTS of fun as long as I continue to ride sensibly.

To cap it all off, I got home at just the right time to meet (in person, and actually TOUCH--shook hands) the hot young lady I see running around here every now and then. :drool:

I'm liking this bike already... :cheerleader:


Mike
 
Glad to see you made it home safe with a few miles under your belt.... Just relax and be gentle with her at first... The rest will come in time...
 
Welcome to the madness known as Owning a Busa.




Now get a little more used to her and get that girl on the back :whistle:


And we will need Pics
 
Glad you like it!:thumbsup:

Now we will need pics of the bike and the hot running lady:whistle:
 
:welcome: and congrats on the purchase. You will love it, they are great bikes. Just be easy on it for a while until you learn the feel of all that power beneath you. Be safe and go ride!!!
 
Alright... first pic, actually uploaded correctly this time...

congrats again, Mike. Did I mention that the '09 in white/blue/silver is my all-time favorite paint scheme?
 
Thank you, Kromdom. I like the brown ones best... classy color on a bike that'll spring up and bite at a moment's notice.

All of my vehicles, except for the Ninja 250, are white. I prefer white since it tends to hide scratches, etc. better (at least on the automobiles) and they look newer for longer. It really is a boring color--no depth like some of the newer reds/maroons, blues, and greens... but it looks good for a long time.


Thanks again,

Mike
 
Great colour Mike so congratulations. Get some ZEN into your right wrist and hand and forget about modes B and C. They are for people who have NEVER experienced what a Hayabusa is all about, so that they don't go into a corner quivering with fear!
Mode A is where the bike is supposed to be!
You get more of EVERYTHING in Mode A, including the kind of FUN which you bought the Hayabusa for, and I don't mean irresponsible fun...you know what I mean...
 
Enjoy the ride. I did the C-mode thing for a few weeks when I first got my busa. Don't worry you will be living in A-mode soon enough. You will also enjoy how effortlessly it will carry that running lady.
 
grats on the new bike.

my $.02...
don't depend on "C" mode as it goes back to "A" whenever you turn it on and off. It's a neat little feature but I honestly don't ever use it.

once again grats on the new bike, stay safe
