Edris... as the saying quite rightly goes.... "To each, his own". Then again, there's the other saying which is "One man's soup is another man's poisson". (No, that's not a misspelling, its French for soup).
What does all that mean? Well, it means you have the right to go out and buy whatever bike you want and we'll still want to be friends. We'll still ride with you and we'll still look forward to your posts and you'll always be a valued member. We of course reserve the right to disagree with your impeccable taste and you have to expect some bias and a bit of ribbing - this is after all a Hayabusa site.
I've seen them up close (even a rare Red one... I think it's the only one of its kind in Oz... which looked... err... less displeasing than the other colours) and I've ridden one and I've been on the road with them.... and I've had one thrash me off the lights (well, he was trying, I was muttering "try-hard" before the lights even turned green and then I hung back to see if he'd drop it... and bless the little fellow... he almost did... lol) and I've often wondered... as an ex-Kawasaki rider.... would I go back?
No. Sorry. Not in the least bit interested. To me.... its butt ugly. Side on it looks like Kawasaki couldn't decide how to finish it off, so they picked suggestions out of a hat and it has that patch-work quilt look about it. Front on, it looks like a mutant spider. From behind, it looks like it has rear-facing cannons strapped to it. Now, I know that sounds like I'm being unfairly biased... and you'd be right in thinking that. But I'm allowed my opinion... and that all this is. My opinion. I'm not knocking your choice. If you're happy, then I'm happy for you. I am fully aware that some people think the busa is the most ugly bike ever. I've had them come up to me and say as much. Thats fine too. Thats their opinion and they have a right to it.
They just happen to be wrong.
