Under capable hands, Hayabusa is a good handler, despite the weight. It's very leanable on corners too.
People from around the world trust their 'Busa for City Riding & Cross Country Touring. Moreover, only a Busa is well capable of 50 kmph in 6th gear, Just Imagine the low end torque. Maximum power is roughly the same in both bikes (+-10%), but the added 340cc in Busa help for better low end torque... You see, Busa has a engine which has been refined from time to time. Busa's a clear leader in its segment, but R1 is not. Busa is more comfortable than R1 for both Rider & Pillion. Moreover, Busa has that Drive Mode Selector, which makes it easy to ride under various conditions, even in Wet Weather to some extent. My Recommendation: Based on various reports from Magazines and Internet, I would suggest HayaBusa for real life road usage. Only if you have Serious Race Track Career plans, should you choose R1. Or if you fear weight too much. Quote:

I have turned my Pulsar into signals with my Dad (70 kgs) and my sister (40 kgs) as Pillions, and add to it the Pulsar itself (155 Kgs Wet Weight) ... A total of 265 Kgs weight was handled by me (65 kgs guy), which is more than Busa itself. So, a little tough it might be, but not enough to worry a lot. Weight is not that much a genuine problem for the average youth, however the long wheelbase might be, as the turning radius is bigger ... Just for facts:--> 07' R1 weight = 177 kgs + 17 Litre Fuel + Oil 09' Busa weight = 236 kgs + 21 litres fuel + Oil Kriss (from Hyderabad Xbhp) owns a Busa. He can clarify more ...
