I've been wanting a bike for along time. Getting a new job may have sealed the deal too. A bunch of guys at the shop I just started working at have convinced me that now is the time. I really want a Hayabusa but I don't want one thats too aggresive. I want one I can learn on if that makes any sense? Since this will be my first, I don't want one thats gonna get me messed up right out of the box. I know how to ride 'em, just have never owned one. Like I said I really want a Hayabusa just not one thats gonna kill me right away.. Any help?? Thx..

a hayabussa will kill a rookie dude. u dont have the skills yet to handle a race bike. u make a mistake on this bike, it will bury u. u need to start small when it comes to rockets. either a 250 or a 500 ninja. if u cant accept this, u better make out ur will before u pick this bike up because it will kill u the first time u disrespect this bike's power.

The Hayabusa is not a learning bike. It's the top end of Suzuki's sport bike line. And it will hurt you faster than you can think. It isn't a good one to start with. Your friends will get you killed.
Start smaller and used. If you drop it, which you will, you won't feel so bad. Then work your way up. The busa could be in your future, just not yet.
Remember, image ain't everything. There's some good things about being able to feed yourself, walking and wiping your own butt.

Dude, if you aren't currently a bike owner, I'd say your skills are not up to a level that you should even consider a busa. You don't learn on a busa either. You learn on a 250. I've been riding my whole life and my 750 has enough stones toss me if I'm not careful. You'll have enough to worry about with all the 4 wheeled vehicles on the road. You don't need to add to it by not being experienced enough to handle you own 2 wheels.

It seems like you are using the word Hayabusa to mean sportbike. The hayabusa is a 1300cc suzuki, pretty powerful and pretty big. I would suggest a smaller "sport bike" such as a ex500 kawasaki or sv650 suzuki to start. You can always buy the busa later.

What the f*ck are you dumb yeah go get a busa. I've been riding for a couple years but mostly 250's and 400's aswell as riding quads all the times I finally bought a r6 I was going to get an r1 but decided against it so far i've gone 140 in my r6 and nearly killed myself a couple of times because of the power. if you get a busa you can start having you head stone done up. you need to be riding for several year I say 5 years before you even consider actually buying a busa they are a fast bike and a big bike you wil get yourself hurt. If you need something fast get an r6 or similiar 600 but only if you have some idea as to what your doing then in a year or two get a 1000 then a 1300 think about it if you used to a 600 and then jump to a busa that is over twice the power your used to. I've been in a couple accident trust me don't get something to fast you will get yourself seriously hurt and ruin the bike may as well just give me the 12k

Don't listen to the guys at work. First, I think they are just "playing" you.
Second, that bike will kill you in a nanosecond. DON'T do it. I wouldn't even start off with a 500! If you want a sportbike, start with an old used 250 Ninja, something like that, NOT even a NEW bike! Start with something that's already not quite perfect cuz it'll save alot of heartbreak when you lay it down. Get a helmet and a good leather jacket, none of this riding around in tee shirt and shorts. I'd recommend a rider course from MSF, even if "you know how to ride".

The Hayabusa only comes in one size - 1300. It's a particular model of the Suzuki line.
And like everyone said, it's not really the thing for a beginner.

Guess what? They are not called 'donorcycles' for nothing. Just a little reminder that 60% of all organ donations come from testosterone fuelled young males. Start slow and work your way up. It's much easier to save face than having to work your way down 'cause it's too much for you if you haven't killed yourself by then. Four years ago I started on a Honda Rebel, then a Honda Shadow VLX600, now a Shadow Ace 750 + Duke 649.

DO NOT get a BUSA!!!! you will crash it for sure!!! start off with a used 600 katana, or ZX6... something older so when you drop it you dont worry about it having a few scratches... start with some low HP and work your way into it... I have know riders that have 20 years experience and can not ride a busa...
good luck and buy some damn gear please! full faced helmet, gloves, boots, and a leather jacket at the very least!
and if you get the chance take the Motorcycle Safety Course!!! you will learn so much! and it will also give you cheaper insurance!

This is not necessarily a question of engine displacement, get a bike that has a nice linear power band instead of a peaky hi reving race engine. When you sit on your fist bike it should be light enough and low enough so you feel comfortable and can plant both feet on the ground. Don't get caught up in the image thing, your life is not worth it. I have a friend in a wheel chair, he pulled a wheelie on his 900RR something he did many times before. He is not too cool now, the light standard he hit was tougher than his back.
