What friend's have named my 2014 Hayabusa.
My # is 71825 on the IBA. My 3 rides were pretty easy especially compared to a failed attempt in 2009 on a stock DR650 netting 985 miles before a 2nd fuel receipt was unable to be obtained. 1st run 1170 miles in 24 hours.
After my son's graduation in San Diego from MCRD I rode to Tucson Arizona 400 miles. Got a room for a bit of rest then hit the road for just over 1100 miles home. Recived the e mail a few days ago giving me a IBA #

How is it on fuel consumption and rider comfort over long distances? Do you use a throttle lock? And...congratulations!

Avg 48 mpg 5.5 gallon tank. I have electronic cruise control. 13 to 14 hours in saddle never thinking about discomfort.
High mpg is 53 in the mountains just cruising with my wife. She rides a Bandit with her longest ride of 725 miles in 16 hours. She is considering doing a saddle sore 1000 this spring.

A 40lb drop from just the exhaust is amazing. I am assuming that it is a total exhaust replacement.
Way to go.

Factory is a heavy dual exhaust with steel header. It is now a single outlet unit
Makes chain services eaiser too

I'm out of town working, and only have a phone. My wife just sent me this photo.
All 3 rides were done over a week

 

[Wornout]

Sweet!

All of my early rides (SS1000) were on my Hayabusa. Bigger screen, Heli bars, lowered pegs and a custom seat. I had added electronic cruise control and miles were not a problem. Great machine. When I say early rides they were all after turning 60.

 

[HACKLE]

Can't help but agree with you Garage Monster, definitely a YOUNG MANS bike. Cheers.

She's a beauty, I like the fuel storage concept (if that's what it was for)...always had a soft spot for the Blackbird as well, 2 fantastic machines.
Just noticed the RDL seat too...love mine.
