Bought a wrecked Ninja 300 and rebuilt it from the ground up, myself. It was great therapy and I love that bike to pieces. I’ve ridden other bikes, but having touched every bolt and fastener on that little 300 makes me love it even more. It’s not super fast, but it rips corners with the fastest bikes on the road. I own it and that’s all that matters. 🤷‍♂️

[@TamaHawkLive]

This guy's personal description of what it feels like and where the headspace is at when you're the type of rider who is addicted to that speed adrenaline high of motorcycles is the most accurate description I've ever heard someone flesh out on KZbin, it's extremely sincere. For anyone who tends to think speed isn't everything and the ride enjoyment is more important and wonders why people would even care, the first 10 minutes of this man's take is exactly why speed is everything to some people.

Just got into riding last week, rewatched Tron and decided to pull the trigger on a Ducati.

It may not be the best beginner bike but respect for the ride goes a long way. The day after I bought the bike found y’all been watching since. Y’all should totally do a video on the monster cause I want the ego stroke thanks.

[@friktionrc]

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been debating on getting a Suzuki Hayabusa as my first (and only bike)…thing is so many say it’s a bad ‘newbie’ bike because the way things can go tits up so quickly, and instead say it’s better to build up to it….my problem is, I don’t want to own 3 or 4 bikes before I get onto a Hayabusa - I’m not rich and not getting any younger. I’m not wanting to get this bike to be a speed freak on the public roads…just owning run and riding it 5mins into town and back is fine for me….so knowing there are others who have chosen this route (I.e go straight to the bike they want) is helping to sway me…. Sadly our UK test isn’t that easy. I think it helps I’m a car driver and have driven for so long - in effect I can go down a different route ‘test’ wise compared to say a 16yr old starting out on a scooter/moped….but I think I still have to take something like x3 different tests. ….ps how fckn expensive is biking gear man!!! 😂😂😂

I come from a different "Hayabusa" angle. Even at an older age, I am at best an amateur motorcyclist. I don't do twisties - or go too slow through them- and I rarely go over 85MPH. But I bought one to join the club, the prestige factor and all. My friends would say, "You're going to kill yourself on that thing!" My answer to them was, "Every motorcycle has to be able to do 3 MPH and a 600cc can do 150MPH easily." But the truth was, my 'Busa was complete overkill, and it was too heavy for me. I love the icon, but my next bike will probably be a 600 or 750. More than enough for me. But I love them and always will.

[@rimfire2642]

My first motorcycle was a VF1000F (it was around 10 years old at the time). Not quite a Hayabusa, but a sub 11 second bike and fully considered a "liter bike" at the time. Other than going through MSF I had no prior experience on dirt bikes or any motorcycle. I've ridden several years now and never had an accident. And I ride pretty aggressively too, I definitely know and love WOT. My current bike is a ZX-14R, which is even a bit crazier than a Hayabusa (stock levels...anyway). So yes, IMO it IS POSSIBLE for people to start on big bikes but ONLY if you are not a crazy a****** or too timid that you'll scare and ask for a do-over. For those of us that have the "right stuff", it is possible to start on something other than a 250.

[@rimfire2642]

@Fart Zilla well it was actually 998cc, which isn't quite a liter.

[@Drifthaze]

so what I learned was I don't need a beginner bike I can get whatever I want.

[@Kitsune3455]

That isn't much crazier than the bike I started on/the bike I'm on now. I ended up getting my dad's old bike that he was just going to scrap, it's a 2016 Kawasaki Concours 1400 at about 160hp and 100 ftlb of torque. You just need to know that it's a rocket between your legs that will kill you if you do stupid shit with it.
