Title: New member selling bike
Post by: BullsEye on July 02, 2011, 02:49:25 PM
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.

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?

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.
