I have had motorcycles on and off my whole life, except when in the Maraine Corps for 8 years I only had a Ninja 500 for a short period, but being deployed all over the place and not being able to have a place to keep it I sold it.

Thinking of the feeling of jumping on my bike early on a day off and taking a drive through the mountains and getting away from virtually all city life and reading this forum and listening to bike talk, really makes me miss a bike.

So, I am starting to save and I will have a Hayabusa. I am a big guy and like the feeling I get when I ride a Hayabusa and am able to stretch out a little. It also is way more comfortable on long trips and doesn't vibrate your hands numb on the longer trips either. Plus, a few mods and you get the over 200MPH ability..unless you get the '99 model which were the ones that go over 200mph stock. The other years only go 186mph.
