23 August 2009 After 18 months of Hayabusa ownership although I have not travelled too many kilometres I can report that its been absolutely reliable! Of note the fuel consumption has decreased for an average of between 6.5 low 7's. I never used the lower power settings during this time. It is noticeable since I was getting high 7 and 8 for the last few months. Since its cold around here the readings include the warming up cycle. The Bridgestone BT-015 rear tyre definitely lasts longer than the original's BT56s. So I quite pleased about that - and so would you! The suspension seems to have softened just a tad but that could just me getting used to the initially harder and what I think now as better and responsive handling. It is not the love hate relationship I have with true sports motorcycles. It is a compromise but probably a much better setup than other much softer sporty touring when you want to do some proper cornering. My 2nd generation Hayabusa is also much better cared for than the original - this one rarely gets parked in direct sunlight and is covered between rides. So the finish is obviously lasting very well. So far so good which I guess - makes ownership enjoyable. 23 November 2009 It's been a busy period since the last update. Haven't been able to do much riding due to work commitments. Since it has been awhile since the last update so I decided to post this one! The 2nd Generation Hayabusa is still gong strong! I am genuine thankfully of the 3 power settings. I was caught in the rain going to the shops and the sudden fixation with council to put roundabouts everywhere and F1 drivers want-to-be in the suburbs is not the best combination. Even more so in the wet when it hasn't been raining for awhile. The you can see these car driving idiots sliding because they've got old tyres that have gone hard and have no traction. So rather than tempt fate simply had a coffee. Then ventured home carefully home.
