              We all suggest the same to him during our rides - BUSA and STUDDS are not even slightly close. Now only Mr. Harish knows BTW, last I remember, he was planning on picking up a BELL after rigorous and repeated requests from us.

                    A few doubts

                    [MENTION=54541]harish.krovvidi[/MENTION]; Hari the Busa is available for 11 Lakhs INR as you told me earlier? if so then its priced well and as a result. I have to go to Delhi to buy one because the Hyderabad dealer doesn't sell SBK's which is really unfortunate considering there are a large number of SBK lovers in the city that's hard to ignore. From where did you get your bike? and let me compliment Hari --- your Hayabusa looks fabulously well maintained and sparklingly in a tip top condition , .

                    I don't know what colour I might end up choosing and btw I wanted to ask you why didn't you upgrade your bike exhaust system and does the Suzuki dealer sell protective riding gears? because I have seen the prices here in Canada its bizarre and over the edge in short its not worth it.

                        why didn't you upgrade your bike exhaust system?
                        A good exhaust system is 60-70k screams like hell and attracts too much attention, stock most of the times people do not realise what overtook them ( low flying ufo i say :grinning: )

                        But i have a set of micron gp on the way

                        I have taken the shorty version of the above. They end right att he footrest instead of continuing like this sample picture.

                        These are top of line exhaust hydroformed not welded like other out there cost abot 1200 usd in the us when micron was selling, got brand new in a liquidation auction for 800usd.

                        Will look this when fitted on my bike in terms of sizing, they come with db killers that are removeanle on the fly. Also about 10kg weight saving.


                        "and does the Suzuki dealer sell protective riding gears? because I have seen the prices here in Canada its bizarre and over the edge in short its not worth it."

                        Option 1 - race teams change ntheir gear once a year in us and canada even if they are not worn out or crashed. I will let you know if there are any such sales you can visit in person and get a lovely dianees or agv for as less as 200 usd which is mint condition probable used one season and has no crashes. That is like saving 800 usd.


                        Option 2 - bankruptcy sales, there have been quite a few in alberta, nuski, edmonton area in canada huston, georgia in us recently and can look for a liquidation sale and buy your full set gear. You will save 50 to80% in this bargain.

                        Option 3 - look at some stuff like camster full suit on of the members here went recently and was suprised that it was very close to his friends import from a reputed brand (unable to remember which one alipine or agv ). But helmet get it from ther you have NOLAN, sparks hJC to start with and Aria, shoie and agv in the higher range.... They at at least 100-150 dollars cheaper in canada.


                        My suggestion is make a listing of the gear you want and slowly buy it over a period decent gear will cost about 60k overall and can go all the way upto 1.2 lacks and above based on how deep your pockets can go.....
                        [MENTION=54541]harish.krovvidi[/MENTION] Bro first of all congrats for the new exhausts that will grace your SBK and secondly yaara I can't make any compromises regarding my personal safety so rest is asaured high attention will be paid to the riding gears btw yaar I have have safety boots certified by the highest standards of a Canadian security company aka "Securitas" will it be okay if I use them for a short period of time for riding unless I get the gears. Yaar one more thing I am 5ft 8.5 inch to 5ft 10 inch (174 cm to 178 cm) can I ride and handle the Hayabusa without any problems????

                            In one option the suit are used and would not comprise saftey in anyway, many busa riders in the us start iff with used suits and shoes and later upgrade to new ones as their budget improves. Whatis very important in used items is that they should not have been in a crash.

                            Am 5.7 and indeed find it a bit difficult at times in traffic and turning. But while the bike is on the go there is no issue with handling at all. I have done multiple long ridesw ith no issues at all.
                            [MENTION=54541]harish.krovvidi[/MENTION] aka Hari money is not the problem for me because once during childhood my aunt told me she would buy me a bike so instead of a bike I will ask her to get me a top notch riding gear; I will be getting the Busa as a gift from my other relatives they have saved some money for me new bike, if God asks me "Choose between Cars or Bikes which vehicle do you want?" My answer would be "Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R and another comfortable cruiser bike and my life is set" because Luxury cars like BMW or Audi can be brought after I start working hard and saving up a lot of cash. Want my motorbikes to be my companion in my Good and bad as well as struggling days.

                            PS: Hari 5ft 7 inch =170 CM Mashallah that's not bad at all for a hardcore biker like you.

                              Zeeshan, how old are you?
                              Your posts (sorry for the frank opinion, again) are very immature and too pressing. Do you work or are you a student?
                              Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
