Time warp! That looks just like an "Eddie Lawson" special from some time ago. Neat! Modern driveline, though...
The Hayabusa is not a torqey bike, but not as peaky as I thought. It does take some rowing of the six speed, but once I got it moving on the highway, I found it pretty easy locked into six regardless. I passed three cars on the two lane section without a downshift and we were barely out there.
$7K for that 1200 brand new? You Yanks are pretty lucky. The Hayabusa is about $16000 Canuck-bucks new, but used ones are around $10K.
He's still not committed to buying the BMW, so I might be out of luck anyway, but we'll see. Has to be the right price.
Thanks!
