But not the comfort, or the looks I want. I am stuck on the busa. And it has the speed too, plus a busa gets a little better on the gas mileage, believe it or not

V.

V.

45 mpg high way, thats bone stock though and thats rated on an 04. I am sure they could vary a little.

Ya inexperience on a big bike is a bad bad thing, and things can happen on any bike or even in any vehicle. That sucks to here stories like that. But gotta be smart too!

A speedy rooster is WAY more comfy than any other bike in its class. Also, the 'busa is cheaper on insurance because its a sport bike, NOT a super sport like the ZXs. The comfort is there because of its massive weight. I am all for it. Heavy and stable. I've watched people with experience get the head shakes on gixxers, ZXs, and Rs. NEVER have I seen anyone I know get them on a busa. (hiya = speedy, busa = rooster......1 fast dick) Those are the ONLY "lean over" kinda bikes I'd ride... other than an XB12R. But I rather choppers, lol

I've had two hayabusas. An '02 silver and grey and an '03 anniversary edition.

I bought the 02 brand new in 03 as a left over. My first bike was a 84 suzuki gs650L or something like that.

I sold the 02 and bought the '03 used.

Very fun bikes, cost me $25 a month for full coverage insurance, good on gas, and you definitely get the looks.

Your best bet would be to try http://www.suzukihayabusa.org and search the used forum.

Since 08 brought some changes alot of people are dumping earlier years for cheap.

1999 and 2000 are unrestricted but between 1999 and 2008 there are very small changes.

Good luck, you should be able to find one in your price range. Hit me up if you ever have any questions about what to look for or mods/repairs.

I have been on there website and just see a ton of used ones that are turbo'ed, which would pretty crazy, but not what I want. Would love to see pics of yours. Thanks for the input. I may have found a 2000, but not sure.
