I am hoping no one minds a new member from the Central Valley in California. I live near the Sierra Foothills and ride in the Sierras very often, especially Hwy 49.
My name is Brooke I ride a 2006 Ducati 999s and I just bought a 2006 Hayabusa with only 311 miles. The bummer is I cant register it in CA and it is too late to do anything about it as I already bought it. They have a rule about 49 state bikes not being eligible to register until 7500 miles.
I listed the Busa in the Classified section of the forum if anyone is interested.
just go on a very long weekend ride, bam there is 7500 miles.

They have that one figured out, they sent me a letter and stated that I can never register this bike. :(

How did you let that happen? A little research probably would have saved you a headache on this one.
Also, what has been going on with this bike that it only has 311 miles in five years?
Is there a Hayabusa in Dub's future? :terrified
Actually, I think the 'Busa is one of the ugliest bikes out there. Additionally, it's a waste of motorcycle. It's far too powerful to ever be unleashed on public roads and it's too unwieldy to get around a track quickly.
Sorry, BullsEye, nothing personal.

depends on whether that track has corners or is just 1/4 mile long. (not all tracks have corners)
but you are right the busa goes like stink straight but twisties are not so hospitable.
