Paper Hayabusa
- Thread starter Icy1
- Start date
The bag I can definately see bothering you. I have a 100lb bag and a speed bag, and use them along with my weights and Boflex Revoloution, as I work out 4-6 days a week.
The constant pounding wears on my wrists, elbows, and hips.
Anymore I try to throw less heavy blows, and focus more on speed and coordination, but, there's always a few that hurt me more than they would the other guy, lol.
I did Karate and boxing in my late teens and early 20's, but anymore I'm just keeping in shape, and only competing with myself to be a better me...or at least maintain the shape I'm in.
I also don't and do not want to fight anymore, I don't need any more injuries, lol.
I don't do 'heavy' lifting very often either, and it's not big numbers by far.
I like light weights and more reps, and so do my joints.
My hands and fingers have their aches too, and I can imagine your frustration from not being able to use yours like you used to.
I have come to understand the country song "I aint as good as I once was...but I'm as Good ONCE as I ever was"...and I feel it the next day, and the next...and
lol

It might be possible, that Suzuki´s marketing is better in other countries, but in germany, austria or swiss there is no Hayabusa brand marketing. No muggs, Jackets, Caps, Posters or anything. Just like there is no new Hayabusa!
Not even the dealers have the commerical Flaggs with a Gen III on it. If they had, hell i would grab the flaggs and run as fast as i can!
I want the original Hayabusa carpet for my garage......no chance, not even the dealer can order such a carpet for his showroom. It´s a shame...

One of the reasons that drove me towards the Busa. Being able to experience and enjoy one of the best internal combustion engines ever made while I still have the chance.
I live in the EU and the now they are leading a crusade against petrol engines the same as they did against diesel. They are banned from some cities, will be banned from being sold. Loud bikes are banned from entire regions and sound detectors are being installed like speed cameras. In the filthy rich countries like Norway internal combustion vehicles are already a minority against electric. Gas stations are being closed or replaced with EV chargers. Now in Hungary being a relatively backwards country this isn't the case, but the EU is always quicker to just ban things than to consider the people's alternatives. So if things continue the same way in a few years it will be difficult to buy or even operate a gasoline powered motorcycle.

Hit me up with your home address and we'll pick someplace exactly the same distance from yours and mine, and we could maybe place a little wager how we're going to handle this meet !.
The rest of ya's is welcome to come.
I love the Pistons and the head assembly. That's classic.

You're in Nevada? or Ca?
Sounds like somewhere flat, dry and dusty.
Iron Butt to the middle...last one there buys dinner, lol
I hafta get the Busa first, I don't know if I could handle the 1k for that long all at once.
How hard or expensive is it for you to buy from the U.S?It might be possible, that Suzuki´s marketing is better in other countries, but in germany, austria or swiss there is no Hayabusa brand marketing. No muggs, Jackets, Caps, Posters or anything. Just like there is no new Hayabusa!

I know that very well! I also come from Europe and in Germany, all the things that you have written can be felt every day. They want electric mobility with all their might, there is a lobby behind it that has so much power that you can no longer oppose it. Even e-fules, with which you could keep our bikes alive even longer, are massively blocked! The Busa will probably be my last motorcycle, not because I'm planning to die soon at the age of 40, but there is no more perfect motorcycle for me. In addition, there won't be anything like that in the future, at least in Europe. Buying such an expensive motorcycle again is a risk. Many friends said "are you crazy? You don't even know if you can still ride the motorcycle in 5 to 10 years?" And they are not entirely wrong, with the aggressive action against gasoline-powered vehicles, I ask myself whether there will still be gas stations nationwide in 2030, whether the gasoline supply will still be available and how expensive it will be! You take a risk to buy such a bomber in Europe, but ...... you want to do without everything forever, just because you don't know what the future will bring? Then you waste your years!

I wouldn't say difficult, but very expensive. The German state has introduced such high import taxes in recent years. In the past you could order up to 150 euros without customs duties, now they strike mercilessly. When I had to wait almost 3 months for my side fairing after the accident, I could have got ONE worldwide, from the States. But the shipping costs and taxes alone would have made the thing more than twice as expensive.

Exactly. If we worried about the longevity of this hobby (or even our longevity...) we wouldn't be here. We'd be on the bus. Most importantly we'd avoid showers as almost twice as many die from bathroom accidents than from motorcycling (13 things more dangerous than riding a motorcycle - The largest online Motorcycle Blog). We'd be smelly boring people...
Back to original topic, I will get something like this for the son to go with my incoming Busa. Not exactly gen3 but looks lovely:
