Okay, in all seriousness, I purchased the Hayabusa as my first motorcycle on a dare. My youngest brother and I were cruising through a motorcycle dealership, and we paused to look at a brand new blue 2000 model year Hayabusa. My brother dared me to buy it, as it was the fastest motorcycle money could buy, so I did.
I immediately got my learner's permit, made some new friends, and began riding with them. Within a few months, I had learned wheelies- first gear, then shifting into second, then second gear wheelies, second gear stand-ups, third gear stand-ups, and two-up wheelies. I learned stoppies at about the same time.
My wife and I rode the Hayabusa on our honeymoon, tent-camping on Fox Hill at Laguna Seca for the WSB/AMA double-header. We did about 2000 miles two-up in one weekend. We crashed one of the VIP parties when someone mistook my petite young wife as an umbrella girl, and assumed that I was her security. My wife met Jake Holden's sister, who invited us back the next year, for the two of them to be Jake's umbrella girls.
Racing looked like fun, so I participated in "A Taste Of Racing" at our local road race facility. I enjoyed it enough that I subsequently signed up for the novice road racing school. I couldn't afford to buy another motorcycle, so I just used my Hayabusa. Upon seeing a Hayabusa show up for novice class, there were a number of derogatory comments made about the bike and it's alleged inability to brake or turn. Upon seeing my first green flag, I wheelied through the entire field, and made it to the first turn by about a zip-code. I watched video of it later, and every time I came down the front straight, it looked like someone had fired a Tomahawk cruise missile alongside the other race bikes. Gixxer 1000s could not stay in my draft. I led the first two laps, and began catching back-markers on my third lap. The closing speeds were so stupendous, that they decided to kick me out of novice by giving me my expert road racing license after my first weekend, for safety reasons (they ran Open Supersport with 600 Supersport, in two waves, and I was catching 140 mph 600s at 190 mph, just as I was shifting into high gear. I represented the Hayabusa community well, and was awarded the Top Novice award at the end of the year.
the following year, I began serving a race official, and was invited to be an instructor for the novice road racing school and for the Taste Of Mowing.
My wife, who had by then done a couple of track days, then took her novice road racing class on her hot pink pearl Halfabusa Supersport race bike.
