Your favorite 'busa complaint

[Ken02busa]

Ya, they are fast, but they dont handle. "I know this guy: that killed one with a Ninja, blah blah blah. Every idiot that has never ridden one knows everything about them, and most dont even own a bike.

Go ahead, try me!

 

[harbor area busa]

my biggest complaint is "I CANT STOP PUTTING MONEY INTO HER. " she is like a crackhead addict always wanting more and more

 

[jc_nevamind]

Hmm, favorite complaint - not sure if it's my favorite, but seems like every import with a coffee can exhaust wants to challenge me - and I'm like dude - we've got the same size engine and I'm about 2000+lbs lighter than you - ever heard of power to weight ratio.
Then there are the chicken heads who always want a ride - 1st of all if my hump is on that might be an indication that in the words of the great chicken head Whitney Houston - "Hell to tha nawl, you can't have a ride.
2nd - You might be a clown, but this ain't no damn carnival ride.
But I guess the favorite complaint is from the wife - when she addresses the Busa as "The Mistress"

Stranger walking upto me and asking me: "Is that a fast bike?"
My answer: "sometimes"

The wannabees and squids that walk up to me and claim the big busa doesn't handle well enough for their oh so honed riding skillz.

+1

"Those things don't handle for sh!t on the 'curves.' "

Or: "Those things aren't good for anything but drag racing. Anyone can fast in a straight line..."

My number one complaint about the Busa that I love to hate is that every once in when I hammer it my ass SMASHES into the hump and my tail bone is sore for a week.

My buddy beat a Hayabusa with his “___â€￾ (fill in the blank)

 

[camaro69_4542003]

worse thing is the idiots on liter bikes wanting to run all the time. Gets annoying after so many R1's or zx10R's try to get you to race on the freeway. I also get the " wow you own a hayabusa cool.. what size is it 1000 or 600 :|... didnt know they made a haaybusa in 600 and 1000cc

 

[davycroc]

my first washing in the driveway, neighbor comes over and says "what is that thing?" I told him "a Busa". He says "looks a lot different than mine (1972 Silverwing), what is it, an 1100cc?"

While i'm putting the wax on the "1300" part.
um, yea.

I'm still looking to find where the busa puts the rubber from the rear tire! I've looked on the undertail and under the lower cowl. I even lifted the tank to see if it was keeping it under there. I still can't find all that rubber! Sheesh!!! my first Honda CB350 didn't eat tires like this new fangled scooter!

All funny. Well, if there is a bright side, at least people feel like commenting. Usually in a retarded way. lol. How about the punk kid with his hat on sideways in his WRX, leaning out the window yelling how fast it was at the last light when you only get to second at 4g and were miles away day dreaming. So what comes next, you have all seen it. He revs the guts out his impreza and guns the crap out of it. Ya take off like normal and have time to peek at his girlfriend as he assume the Andretti pose. Sometimes you have to let them win because they are fragile little creatures. I am sure these are the same freaks who love to gob off about gixxers beating fighter jets over a half mile. A giant wtf to the whole squid thing. In conclusion to this baffling flashback

, I am glad people give a hoot enough to say something and it's generally pleasant, if ill informed.

By the way Greg, love the term 'New fangled'. Here is a couple idioms to confuse and annoy your workmates with. 1. Shonky. meaning: dubious, unreliable. usage: OCC bikes are bloody shonky.
2. Shellacking. meaning: Criticism for a thorough and shameful defeat. Usage: The 'busa can hand out one hell of a shellacking.

That was gonna be number two on my list. Get that one almost as much as the is it fast question.

 

[AZIROC]

my complaint has to be the "oh its heavy and cant turn" but thats mostly from my 600/1000 sportbike friends, i think the most experienced of them has maybe 5 months of riding

+1 and the punks with an exhaust that sounds like my grandmas old sewing machine that want to race at every light. i normally rev it a little than take off normal watching them squel their 1 front tire.

I found that one just once - now I brace against it before hitting it hard.

 

[busa-rich]

Having to make the decision to head home and end a ride!

when you own a busa you have to expect people to be amazed,and ask stupid questions

 

[moondog]

people asking if they can ride it. Not even worth the energy to say no, I just roll my eyes.

If I only had a dollar for everytime I have been told that a Busa wont handle well......

I always get that from the litre bike guys it seems. Envious cuz they don't like someone who is quicker than them. I railed my Busa through some twisties with my buddy on a CBR1000RR one day and after that he was like man I don't wanna hear people knock this bike. I have seen it first hand.
