hayabusa on a diet

Idiot2G'day All
Thought I would start a thread on weight saving on a hayabusa, I have so far added to my 05.
Full titanium exhaust (see thread on exhaust section).
Replaced front guard with carbon fibre one.
And have some magnesium dymag wheels on the way.
Has anyone had a stock hayabusa fully wet on a weighbridge to see what they weigh. I will weigh mine when have all complet.

You could count on one hand those interested in lightening their busas on this forum.It is quite expensive and many see horsepower as the cure all recipe.The stock o4 busa fully fuelled weighs 254kg.My 04 weighs 229kg and dads 03 weighs 224kg both fully fuelled.A stock 05 1000 weighs 205kg fully fuelled.After having ridden a busa that steers like a 600 with better than stock busa grunt im increasingly pleased by how the bike rides.Each owner though owns his bike for his own reasons,my last bike steered and handled,but needed more power.A stock busa was the opposite but mine now steers and handles very well,with the grunt.By the way purple haze titanium rotor bolts look Sweeeeet.Drool

honestly, regardless of where you buy them light wheels and great brakes are enjoyable at all speeds.If you seek to question this, come to jindabyne and go for a spin on mine or dads bikes and see for yourself.As i change wheels around for the drags, when i put my light wheels and 190/55 rear tyre back on again I just love the bike all over again.
