Survey

[OB_Mr.E]

I have the silver/black. I'm 58 ( you got me beat, Sherm).
I started w/a 62 Honda Hawk-250cc. My next was a Suzuki 550, then an 83 Suzuki 1100E and finially, the busa so each bike has been a quantum leap for me. Had a great ride w/Falconer; to Tomales Bay, Stinson Beach, and upand down Mt. Tam. Twisties all the way

[OB_DC]

Black/Silver,
I'm 33 and been riding 14 years. I'm trained to teach Advanced Riding. Last bike was an R1, VTR1000 FireStorm and CBR900RR FireBlade preceded them.
For the record, Motor Cycle News in the UK reports that the copper Hayabusa won't be on sale in the UK next year. I'm not sure whether that applies worldwide
