I can't believe I did it but it's gone. I sold my Hayabusa. This spring I bought a Harley.

I don't have enough time to ride 2 motorcycles. I haven't been riding the Busa much.
I always knew this day would come. I always knew I would get a big touring bike when I got older. Replacing the Hayabusa with a Harley is a definitive sign of getting old.
I have had motorcycles for longer than I've owned cars. Most of my cycles have been sport touring. In 2004 I bought the Hayabusa. This bike is ultra-performance. Back in the '80s and '90s. There was a speed war with motorcycles. Each year a different motorcycle company would come out with a motorcycle that would be the fastest motorcycle in the world. The Hayabusa ended the motorcycle speed wars. When the Hayabusa came out in 1999 it would go 200 mph. The public was didn't think any motorcycle should go that fast. When it looked like the government would prohibit high speed motorcycles Suzuki and all other motorcycle manufactures voluntarily limited motorcycles to go no more than 186 MPH (300 KPH). As if that's much safer than going 200 mph. The cycle manufacturers knew if the government set laws it would be much lower than 186 mph.
I have had a great time on this bike. I was sad to see it go.
Check out this video to see what the Hayabusa is all about.

I know this type of motorcycle doesn't appeal to many of you. It's a far cry from rock crawling.
