hmmmmm gonna sell your old bike?

[CasingBill]

well....

I'm not really sure. I would like to think I am going to sell it. I've had it so long that it has some sentimental value. My family is telling me to keep it. I bought it before I even had my license. The best investment I've ever made. Payed $1000 for it in 1985. Worth about the same now. Not many bikes out there with the 10 speeds anymore. Who knows though. I think I will sell it though.

up

still looking for an actual hayabusa owner

[ShooterJM]

Then I'll give you a free up and ask another question, anyone know much about aprilia's?

[CasingBill]

Aprilia

Saw them at the show. They look nice. Fast. Italian. But too expensive for me.

my friends dad owns one and he drives it everyday to work. he's super tight he also has a weekend warrior 8.5sec 70nova ss. but u do know that the busa runs 10sec 1/4miles stock right? those things are crazy fast. just be safe with it if u do get one.

[OfficerGoat]

A good freind of mine is a busa owner. Very nice bike and the guy rides all over.... I.E. The entire length of PCH 1 or pretty much the entire lenght of California and then some I would say pretty damned ridable. Not a bike for a novice rider but you don't sound like a novice
I know what he would say.... why the hell don't you have it yet

Good luck on your decision.. Ride safe

[CasingBill]

Thx for the input. I have heard nothing but positive feedback. I'll let you guys know when I finally get it. Need to finish paying off my car but should be ina month or 2.

[CasingBill]

forget paying off the car

I found such a good deal that I couldn't pass it up. Thursday I will be bring home my 2001 Hayabusa with 1600 miles on it. Black and silver with some minor scratches on the fairing. $4-5,000 less than the price of a new one. Yipee!!!! Wait for the pics.

[paintslinger]

sweet!! screw pics dude we want video!!! be safe though

[ProjectMag]

Got any pics of that new bike yet or you havin too much fun riding it? Would love to see it!

[CasingBill]

Rain,Rain,Rain

It never stops raining. Today is the first day it hasn't rained. I am going to try to take some pics tonight. I rode for about an hour total so far and that includes bringing it home. That thing is awesome. I can't believe how much power it has. Have to ride one to believe it. I'll post pics later.

[RiddalinJunkie08]

nice bike!!!

[CasingBill]

I will get pics one of these days. The problem is...well... ride or take pics? What would you do with an hour of daylight left? I ride.

[TransMan]
