I never liked the look of the Hayabusa when it came out 10 years ago. It slowly grew to look more normal to me, but still not especially pretty. But when looking for a new bike, I rode one just because I could, not because I actually wanted one. That one ride really stuck with me. I kept looking at other bikes, but the Busa was working it's way under my skin. Then I started looking only for a Busa, no more Hondas, no Harleys (yep, was thinking about a dyna), no Yamahas..... only a Busa. The rest is history.
