19000 miles is nothing, Hayabusas are pretty much bullet-proof. Bit big and heavy tho, IMHO.

| Post subject: | 2004 Suzuki Hyabusa |
Due to the nonavailability of a modern 750 two stroke street bike I decided on the next best thing: a new BMW S1000RR. But, as I have just started saving, its going to be a long haul. Now I just came across a 2004 Hyabusa with 19000 miles on it for $6500. I'm just wondering if that's a lot of miles for a well maintained bike that has been ridden pretty hard. Also, what should I worry about mechanically, that is, valves, crank, top end, head gasket, etc? Are thses bikes expensive or difficult to repair? Thanks for any advice. 72blue. |

I never had one but here is a strong Hayabusa club and a friend of mine is a member. A quick recall: -high-tech bike, lots of (some say too much) electronics -when older, lots of small faults -difficult and expensive (here) to repair -at its best when the warranty is still on -designed for 150-300 km/h speed range, 95 - 185 mph -not so good on race track -unpleasant in the city Highlight is to go to Germany and enjoy free limits. S1000RR is almost a ready racer, much harder chassis. |

Great bikes, very reliable. Smooth and easy to ride/ Very comfortable. They handle like a long, slightly soft sport bike. Good fun at the track! |
