savagehenry Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Just wondering if you get this, ever... Someone will ride up from behind me, or stop me in the gas station, and say something along the lines of, "Oh, I thought that was a Hayabusa at first..." After this had happened more than three times, I got the chance to ask why I keep hearing this. His response was, "The Rear End. Most Jap bikes , the tail goes straight up. But yours is more like the Hayabusa, with that rounded, sculptured rear part of the seat." Just Wonderin' The other one I get is, "Is that a Ducati?". No, Really.

dlaing Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I never got the Hayabusa comment, but it makes perfect sense, especially since I have seen Guzzis blow away Hayabusas. A couple times I got, "Moto Gooozee, who makes those?" Once I replied, "Suzuki" But I did not have the heart to fool them, so I then explained the existence of a tiny factory in Italy.

Ouiji Veck Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Ha! I have no doubt 90% of the parked riders I go by wonder what model Ducati just went past. They know it was a twin, and they know it wasn't Japanese.. Mines' running so good it just ....... Ah well...you know..... That pull from down low..... Those long legs in the high gears. Hyabusa? ppppffffffffttttt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I remember having some great dices with a Hayabusa around Knockhill circuit a few years back when I used to have an 1100 Sport Corsa. In the friendly banter between sessions, the Busa rider said he could not believe how hard the Guzzi pulled out of bends and he was thrashing the tits off his 145bhp rocket to keep up with an 80bhp dinosaur. The start / finish straight is very short, and he could just get by me by the end before I nipped past again a few bends later on the brakes- we did this for about 40 laps! I quite like black Busas but would get banned for speeding within a week if I had one. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Z Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 BUSA = "Me Too" Bike... Sorry, it had to be said.... I like the Hyabusa, too bad every squid owns one.... or a GSXR1000. Both awsome bikes.... Richard Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponti_33609 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I got the same thing at a local bike mechanic's shop. Says when he saw the rear he thought it was a HBasa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewells Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I have been mistaken for a Ducati in the rear before. Never a Hayabusa...God, what an ugly thing. The fairing either looks like an Edsel or.... an unattractive vagina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormsedge Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Most often mistaken for Ducati... ...once though, this pimply kid on a Suzuki sport bike that he'd custom painted with a broom right before riding it through a barb wire fence and the occupants of the field (sheep I think) looked at the RM and said "geesh, did you buy it painted that color?" Ya gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
