One huge thing I forgot, for a big bike the Hayabusa actually really handles well! It's not as crisp as a 600 super sport, but for a 580lb bike with this wheelbase it really hustles around the corners! I was shocked, and pleasantly surprised!
Dude words can't express how this thing pulls - it is pure, unadulterated speed from idle to redline (I think), haha I've not gotten all the way to redline yet, but i can imagine what its like!!!
I was REALLY nervous riding her home, but I was impressed with how linear the power comes on. It honestly reminds me of the CB the way the power is flat and predictable, but it just blasts you into another dimension as soon as you crack the throttle. You really have to think about cold tires and/ or debris on the road with this thing, one false move and you're on your butt!
[/quote] Yep I have owned some fast bikes, currently 2015 ZX-10R in the garage, but the ZX-14 and Hayabusa are in another category altogether. No replacement for displacement and it is true. So, have FUN! Try 'em all. You went the opposite way I just did, I went back in time with the Wolf Classic 150.
Yeah, those 'Busas actually handle quite well, either that or ZX-14 are great bikes, especially for bigger guys who want to put on the miles. Heavy, for sure, but plush.

just a tip from a previous owner , speed will not look the same on that streamliner so do not let it steal your life .
