Default Hayabusa or YZF-R1

I want to own a superbike.I am considering hayabusa or R1 and confused between the two.It should be easy and fun to ride.On basis of looks hayabusa is the best and fastest but i doupt that it is not gud at twisties.I want to test ride both of them so how can I do that because I am putting a lot of money into it.

u cant go wrong with either one of them, as far is test ride goes i doubt u'll get any from the company, if some of ur friends own these bikes then it's possible.

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.

I could have told you names of such members who own Busa or R1, BUT you did not tell us in which city you are??
Which city my bro? Hyderabad? Bangalore?

It will come into consideration!, as this is Sbk we are talking about, that too 60 kgs heavier than R1 ... But, it is not a serious issue.

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 ...
