I do remember removing my tank was a giant PIA!!

When I got my Vmax back I just replaced the tank instead of spending hours cleaning, sealing, etc, then have the potential of it not sealing properly. So if you have the means just buy a new one and be done with it. I paid a little over $400 for a brand new one.

My best ever was 11.63 @ 119mph. Take your mirrors off next time. It could shave a hundredth offf…lol

I split my calipers to rebuild them and had no issues at all. I don’t know how you can completely rebuild/clean them without splitting them.

April 14, 2020 edition of Cycle World Rickey Gadson, after 17 runs, laid a 10.562 @ 126.41mph on a 2020 Rocket 3R. CW dyno numbers: 134.7hp @ 5600 rpms and 142.5lbft @ 3900. 677lbs (not sure if that was wet or dry. Everyone knows about Jay Gleason running mid-10’s on a pre-production ‘85 but a...

47 degrees and sunny today in Cincinnati. Perfect day for a ride. First up me on the Vmax, son on his MV Augusta Rivale. Got home and I hopped on my other son’s R1 and first son on the Hayabusa. Glorious!!!

Holy smokes!! That is bad looking!!!

My first street bike was also an H2 750. I bought it in 1983 from a guy who had just rebuilt it. It did not like to turn!! lol. Incidentally, the guy I bought it from was on Night Line with Ted Kopple several years later. He was a fighter pilot in the first Gulf War and shot down 2 Iraqi planes...

You probably know this info already but when I raced my 86 completely stock I took off the mirrors, lowered rear pressure to 18 psi and launched @ 4,500rpm. No straps or lowering. When final staged get your rpm’s up and let the clutch out to just before it engages then let it out quickly but...

Can you ask him to send you some pics once he gets them installed? I can’t decide if I like that color yet. What does a quart of that cost?

Your right Fire-medic the other one was a Gizxer 1000. The Vmax and the Gixxer ran identical 1/4 mile times and exact same top speed but they crowned the Gixxer King of Quick since it had a slightly higher trap speed. I’m still pissed about that…they did put a full exhaust, slick and wheelie...

Sorry for the vagueness but I do remember seeing pictures of it on a dirt flat track.

I saw a story in Motorcyclist or cycle world years ago where someone made a Gen 1 into a flat tracker and someone famous tested it (Eddie Lawson maybe).

Wow that is striking!!

And it’s completely stock. Which is super rare for an older Hayabusa.

$4,000. 10,386 miles

I have a new member in my garage. I’ve always wanted one and this one came up at a great price. 2003.

I bought a Fazer (WeeMax) for my wife many years ago. I loved riding it! Very light and responsive. She sold it for patio furniture…humph…

Just putting SS break lines on my 86 made a huge difference. Will lock up the front no problem. I want to see someone do a stoppie on a Gen 1.

There has been a significant change in my household in the last couple of months. Both my sons (24 and 22 years old) took a job with my son-in-law and moved out of state for what looks like a couple years. So that was a huge and sad change. We did a lot together including riding. The one silver...
