Sooo, I'm living in a glass house and will word this carefully to get my point across....
The Hayabusa has a stigma attached to it - ie other non Busa riders will comment that:
"Its only good in a straight line"
"you're riding a fridge"
"yeah its got power, but its got 220khg as well"
and so forth...
What's your experience and how would you retort?

i have found those comments are usually made by riders whom have never ridden let alone sat on a busa ,
had a customer here last week on a ZX 10 and he was bagging my busa just a bit and i said to him throw a leg over and stand her up ,he was impressed with how east it was so i let him take it up my street , he now has a diffrent opinion on the busa ,

Its jungle out there, elephants walk and dogs bark..... or Lion walks and dog barks..... becomes dinner...ops ....LOL.
Just ignore, if someone cannot respect your ride - then I have no place for that person or his conversations....
People who really ride know whats good and whats not. one mans poison may be other mans medicine....
suddenly I dont make any sence......shit get back to work

Try this:
"That's why there are (insert his brand of bike here) ..... so dicks like you have something to ride"

My brother in law bags my bike calling it a "hire-a-bus" (he rides a Trumpy Daytona), I just laugh and tell him he hasn't got the balls to ride it and open the throttle...it goes faster in first gear than your Trumpy at full noise, top gear with a tail wind!!!!

i agree with that 100% R1 riders are the same, I ride with a lot of people on a wide range of bikes but theres always some toss who likes to think he can outrun a bussa ,its great when you give them a start and blow past them giving them the bird, you get to the watering hole and wait for them to get there, when they do they shut up like a clam, love that
every corner tells a story
There is no escaping the fact that a hayabusa weighs about 40 kg more than a superbike, and that's A LOT. But in saying that practically no one really rides their superbike anywhere near it's abilities, and that leaves everyone a lot of space to prove it's all about the rider, not the bike!
