Not happy with GF's new purchase

[NuTTs]

Hey man,
I am suggesting that you take the mirrors, lights and plates off of whatever she gets, so that she can only ride it on the track until she displays proficiency.  Perhaps some performance riding schools following the MSF course.  The MSF course is a must, but I can attest from first hand knowledge that it doesn't make you immune from dropping a bike.  Explain the squid mentality to her and that a Hayabusa is the real nautilus of squid bikes, only useful at a drag strip and butt ugly.  Ninja 250 for one season and just let her stay in front of you all of the time.

Not a bad idea.. my buddy Gustavo bought a Hayabusa in 2005 after being bikeless for 20 years. He knows how to control dirt bikes etc. but he is still having difficulty man handling the beast that is the Hayabusa. I´ve ridden in a couple of times and yeah it´s fun for about 30mins. After that I want a small, light, flickable bike with less power.

Get your gf on a track and then get someone with a smaller, less poweful bike to run rings around her. She´ll either see the light and understand your concern or she´ll flip and go ape on the track possibly risking life and limb.. if it´s case number 2 you´ve got a long, uphill battle ahead man.

First I would go to the dealership that sold her the bike and donkey punch the fool that sold it too her and then lay down the law with your girl...or ex-girl if she dosent listen to experience and reason.

One good thing about the "busa" is that any fool can ride it. It is a very rider friendly bike. The power is very easy to handle in town. The hardest thing about riding that bike is getting it to turn. It is a freaking whale!

I really dislike that bike, but it might not be as bad as you think if she has self control and can keep her inputs on the throttle reasonable and smooth.

Don't get me wrong though - it think it is  a horrible first bike - or second, third, etc... for that matter. lol.

Get her to purchase one of these instead:



And put it on a MONSTER 620, now there is an idea.

Of course you still have to donkey punch that guy...

Rob, you don't think we should start making 'busa parts with our logo?

[screaminss]

absolutly not, but Busa riders can put these on a chain and hang em off their neck

Ha!

I got nothing against Suzuki.

But I never wanted a Hayabusa.

Maybe a DRZ400.
