By far one of the cleanest bike I have ever seen.

Would love to buy a Hayabusa but the insurance would kill me!

beautiful car behind it :P


bikes go MUCH faster than cars. They weight easily 10 times less. But imagine hitting a pothole while doing your 8.4 1/4.

The insurance would kill you? No, the BIKE would kill you. Aye carumba... that's crazy fast. I can barely imagine driving a 489hp car... but a bike?!

Man, I got an estimate on the insurance for one of those for a year. I would have to pay approx. $5,000 a year. Sorry but when the insurance gets to cost as much as the thing I am driving, I just won't get insurance. Atleast for this bike, I better damn well die if I get in an accident or it better be their fault.

With that much Horsepower, the bike is definatly capabale of faster quarter mile times but its probably not possible without flipping the bike over.

Hrm. . I dunno. . I agree, but I think here, at least. If you get in an accident, you have to have insurance, even if it's not your fault. In fact, I think if it's someone else fault and you don't have insurance, they don't have to pay for anything. I think they get out of it, because you shouldn't have even been on the road or something stupid like that.

So. . . just better pay the insurance, stay away from the bike, or die in that accident..

Hrm.. besides don't you think the po po's will be pulling you over every 10 seconds just to make sure you have insurance and that you own the bike? So basically .. own this bike if you are rich.

Bro, I ride a Gixxer 750 with all the goodies and insurance costs me thirty bucks a month. I got two questions for you though. First, what kind of crack does your insurance agent smoke, and two, can I have some?

State Farm Insurance. The amount of insurance depends on the size of the engine that the bikes uses. Seeing that it has a 1299cc engine and has a label of being the fastest production bike that State Farm wants to not let anyone have this bike while on their insurance.

And if I knew what crack they smoked, I definently wouldn't buy it from them. They would take my first, second, AND third born. They do that just with their insurance rates every month.

I used to ride a TLR-1000 by Suzuki. And I only paid 273 every 6 months full coverage. And this is on a bike that has 1000CC's

Does anyone actually have a busa on this site? If I can confirm that I can get low insurance, that would be a savings account to for me to open.
