Sayonara Hayabusa

Just tested the 2004 CBR 1000 with just 23K on it. Apart from 1st gear being clunky the bike went REALLY well. I am impressed. I have to say that from the seat of the pants impression, it felt every bit as quick as the Busa even though I know the torque is significanly less. The handling was to me, quite fantastic. Maybe, gearing and lesser weight did the trick! OK, I loved it though the Heli Bars option would be a must if not even further adjustments for riding anythng over 1.5hrs. I have to now compare this to an 05-06 GSXR and R1 of around the same price and kilometers. Apparently buying 2nd hand right now is a buyers market I am told. So lets see what happens. For me, it's all about trusting the owner and believing that the machine has been maintained in exemplary fashion. More important than the price I think.
