Hayabusa 2008 Starter Bike!?

Question

Once i turn 16 1/2 i was thinking about getting a Hayabusa 2008. It just looks badass and i want a fast streetbike. No im not stupid and im probably not going to be going over 60 MPH. Any opinions?

Answer 1

lol are you crazy?! Do you know how much power that bike has??? Or how fast it can go. Oh man, it would be a bad idea to throw yourself on one of those as your first bikes. Some companies will not let you but a hayabusa uless you have something like 5 or 7 years riding experience. Stick with like a R6 or a CBR600rr.

be carefull hun!

Answer 2

Natural selection will decide if you are ready for it or not.

Answer 3

this is a powerfull and heavy bike go for an r6 or cbr 600rr there not really begginer bikes either but more light weitght and easyer to handle

Answer 4

lol...are you being serious??..

Answer 5

Go for it, It will be a real learning experience, LOL

Just whatever you do, do not:

get on the bike

Answer 6

I got myself a GSXR 750 and i'm 17. Its a stupid mystake i have made, you tell your self your not going to drive fast etc but its a different story when you get on the road, get a ninja 250r bro.

Answer 7

make the life insurance payable to me.....LMFAO

not going over 60MPH...  it does that in 1st gear..& in less than 3 seconds..

Answer 8

lol, buy a good life insurance policy. wrong bike to start. this has to be a joke....

Answer 9

Great first answer lol. I have my doubts whether this is even a legit post. It was be extremely wreckless for anyone to sell a bike like that to a first timer. A 600cc sportbike will still get away from you if you dont know what you are doing. Do yourself a favor, get a beautiful sportbike thats in the 500-600cc range and be happy you're life expectancy is 3x as high then it is on the Busa.

Answer 10

that hyabusa will be your first and last bike. it won't be worth it to get that bike if you're not going to go over 60 mph. also, that bike is heavy since it's 1300cc's.

get something small and learn how to maneuver at slow speeds, then upgrade.

Answer 11

It's probably not a good idea to get a bike before you know how to drive a car. New drivers are just learnign the rules of the road, not smart to also try to learn to ride a bike and shift at the same time. New drivers are very prone to accidents and better to have an accident in a car than on a bike.

You should wait til you have your license for a year or two and then think about getting a bike. Also, Hyabusa is not a starter bike, it's a ton of power. Plus a Hyabusa goes like 200mph, if your not going to go over 60mph then your pretty much spending an extra 5 grand or more just for extra power your not going to  use. Why not start out with a GSX600 or something like that.

Answer 12

Could you leave it to me in your will? I could use the parts.

Answer 13

I have been ride dirt bikes for 20 years and streetbikes for 10 and I don't even own or want to own a busa.  It is to bike and heavy and i more power than you will ever need on the road.  and i can't handle curves like a smaller bike.  you will never see the busa on the ama races

Answer 14

You will pay a lot more for insurance on that bike than a cruiser that still looks badass. A smaller lighter bike will be easier for you to handle, pass your drivers test with and avoid accidents with. You will be making , in my opinion , a mistake. Whatever you decide to buy you will have to be more defensive than in a car just to stay alive. my first 4 vehicles were motorcyles, but I would have been better off starting out in a car. Inexperience will get you killed. Good luck with whatever you decide.
