Wow do share!
Should I buy a Gen III
- Thread starter wellcraft
- Start date
I really don't mind traveling for the right deal but unfortunately I'm not convinced this particular bike is the right deal. I assume the bike is still under warranty since its a demo and never titled but I could be wrong and would have to verify but if the clock has already started ticking on the warranty that would be a show stopper for me.
Agree. No warranty or less than the standard 12 months and walk away for sure. Are you looking for only brand new Gen 3s?
Yes I'm looking at buying new Gen III, the styling of the previous generation bikes never really appealed to me but I do like the Gen III and prefer to purchase a new bike.
I'm open to just about any color except I don't like the matte silver or white but the black, charcoal and 25th anniversary orange looks great. I'm in Pennsylvania near Philly and I've been searching cycle trader. I'm open to have the bike shipped, I could make an adventure out of it and hook up my trailer to my truck, drive and pick the bike up myself or if the weather cooperated do a fly and ride.
Several metallic gray and metallic black bikes: Manassas isn't terribly far away.

The Bike in the first link is sold, the bike in the third link is the one I'm currently looking at that is a demo bike, I'll reach out and contact the dealership in the second link. That's a great price providing dealership fees aren't excessive. Thanks for sharing the links, appreciate it.
Guess it didn't last long.
Here's one down in FL: https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2023-Suzuki-Hayabusa-5030031867
Bought my first Gen2 from Rockingham, NC. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2023-Suzuki-Hayabusa-5022942183
They were great to deal with.

That bike is sold too, I checked their website and it says no longer available, not surprised it's gone at that price.
I'll give them a call tomorrow, that bike definitely has potential if they don't have crazy dealership fees. I could drive down there in a day, do the deal and come home the next day. What I've discovered is some dealerships advertise low prices but have excessive dealership fees, $1500+, so you're not really getting that great of a deal.
That's good to know

- a sport bike has low handlebars, if you raise them, you lose on the overall handling
- it is a low-seat bike, if you want more room (=height), perhaps it is the wrong choice
- I opted for soft ones, as I did not want fixing anything at all, that would need effort to remove, once not needed
- a sport bike has a low windscreen, and suzuki's is already not the lowest
- miles per tank, depends on speed and acceleration, just compares against a humble car
can you not try it out?

PS you must be ready to employ your back muscles to keep your trunk in an extended position to the front but there is a reward: disc hernias are mitigated/relieved because that position is beneficial to your spine - the upright position is back's killer. At my age of 64, hayabusa riding is healthier than car driving

Have to agree with you on all those points.
I’m probably biased though, after 100 miles on the Colnago, the Busa as it comes off the showroom floor is more comfortable than a Cadillac.
