I'm sort of a newbie, but not really. I been riding a Katana 600 I think 1996, and I know that bike has no power, so I have been planning to upgrade.
I wanted to get a hayubusa just b/c it looks so hard, and I like the look of it. But I don't want to get something to powerful, that it comes out from under me or throws me off the back. I've heard of some RR's throwing you off the back if you aren't prepared when it kicks in.
I want a bike that handles good, performs good, and I can move up with. I don't take corners at high speed, b/c I don't think I really know how, and I'm scared to take the chance. Plus that Katana is so heavy. I also looked at the GSKR 750 and 1000. My dealer has a 01 Haybusa on sale for 9900, but a 01 GSXr 750 for 8500. The GSXR 1000, and Honda 954 are at 10K range for 02. I want something price saavy (like the GSXr 750), but I also don't want to buy something that I'm going to regret in 6 mths when I'm riding better, and wish I bought something bigger.
Should I go ahead and get the Hayabusa, and just lay off power until I can work into it. Or should I get the 750, and hopefully in 5 months I'm not wishing I got the bigger one instead of wasting my money.
