That's just... epic.

Actually, we could dedicate an entire thread just to tragically customized Hayabusas. Now and again I just peruse the 'Busa section of eBay, because it's always worth a chuckle.

Agreed. Title changed.

Just slightly worse than a stock Hayabusa  ;D

And who can forget this curious contraption? I remember watching it again and again, looking for everything peculiar and unexpected.

Try Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4scZ1LlXbA#)

Are these for real or photoshop jokes? Seriously, why would ANYONE do that to a bike?

The Predator 'Busa used to come up on eBay now and again for sale.

Actually, on any given day you can find 'Busas for sale that make you scratch your head and wonder why anyone would invest so much time and money in making it what it has become. Other makes and models get their share of questionable customization, but somehow the Hayabusa bears the brunt of it.

(And I love them all, in the same way I love a terrible movie, or particularly awful fiction writing. They're just so pure in their crapness. ;D )

I applaud all the work. I wouldn't do it, but there's Monsters on this forum I wouldn't touch either. If we all felt the same, there would be a lot of red Chevy S-10's on the road.  :D

What's this moral relativistic crap? And from cupcake of all people.  [cheeky]
let's face it: there's right and wrong in this world. Busas, sir, are wrong!

I like the Busa.  One day there will be a flat black one in my garage.

 [evil]

I've heard they make really good long distance bikes...

Stock, they don't look too bad, but I always wondered why the 'busa seemed to get the lion's share of ugly/ridiculous/outlandish customizations...  (OCC and PJD notwithstanding)



 [bacon]

Don't think they ever did one. (?)

Mike Hall Hayabusa motorcycle Grudge Match drag racing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDZD20HKwv0&feature=youtube_gdata_player#)

Sorry... I meant over-the-top customized motorcycles in general...

It seems that the 'busa gets more crazy customizations than other sportbikes...



 [bacon]

I don't know how to feel about the fact that there is more than one three wheeled Hayabusas.

This well done, but ridiculous, Hayabusa B-King "Inferno" (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-Twin-Turbo-330-OSD-billet-single-sided-custom-Daytona-Winner-Chrome-B-King-/280832115443?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item4162e602f3#ht_910wt_1165) can be yours for a mere $29,000.

Here's your 999


(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa91/chiflado/24442069.jpg)

That just makes me sad....   :'(


 [bacon]

Because its over the top custom, or you can't make fun of it because you own a 999?

maybe because its not a 999?

Well, there is that...

It once was  :D

Mmm... nope. I feel pretty comfortable saying that that was never a 999.

A 9*6, perhaps.

Not that that makes it any less of a waste.

Tank/bodywork/etc. suggest it was once a 916 or 996. I can't tell from that picture if it had twin-pipe headers, so perhaps a 998.

Seems pretty unlikely it was ever a 999.

The point being its a Dookakti

Anyway, back to the point of this thread, which is to document the senseless abuse that Hayabusas have suffered.

OKAY OKAY OKAY....not a 'Busa...but still...

The inferno bit refer to the ball of flame that front tire will become?

I actually kind of like this one. Maybe something is wrong with me.

for something that maybe you are going to go and do BUB or something, I agree...but I don't understand the passenger seat pad...

The stock busa is what it is.  Looks like c**p to some and great to others.  Then there are some people who just ignore the looks and buy the bike because of the performance.

But the bikes in the pictures in this thread...  ???

The Gulf streamliner isn't tragic like the others. Manges to get rid of some of the fugly of the stock trim. Though yeah, the passenger seat doesn't make much sense.

No, the Gulf paintjob carries the day.  Plus, that bike lacks the non-functional crappery festooned all over it like the other debacles in this thread.  It appears to actually be rideable.


The TapOut bike should get his same pass, but anything TapOut is clown sh*t so it doesn't.

Why (not how) do you find those photos!?

My little friend.

I was attempting to answer the question you posed about the passenger seat... 

They made it wiiiide for a reason

This isn't a frat house 'tiz.

It may have come across like that, but it was a serious answer, truly.

I guess I could have just typed "so wide-reared passengers can ride"... [drink]

actually....I was the one that asked...


and it wasn't meant in terms of width, but moreso in terms of why it is even there when you don't carry a passenger on a BUB machine....streamlining for speed means eliminating the unnecessary as much as possible....hence my moreso rhetorical question...

weak sauce

aha, i only saw the latter post with the pic.   [thumbsup]

Didn't you get booted from that forum for giving them a retrospective of The Misadventures of Toasty?

While I was looking at some of the ones in the first pages, I wondered if someone would have put a couple of 22" side by side and have a seat in between. This guy got pretty close..
It does have a 1.3L engine, it could actually pull one of those smarts on the back!! Just saying..

yup [evil]

Tiger, tiger burning bright.
Tiger, tiger I gouged out my eyes to remove my sight.

so many to choose from..

Oh, I'll make fun of the douche-nugget who did that to a once beautiful machine such as a 9*6, 998, or a 999...

It just makes me sad because someone took a pretty machine and turned it into a turd...   :P

The 'busa was never a beauty queen, although for high speed touring/drag racing/land speed records, etc...  it's excellent, from what I've heard. (IMHO)

What I meant earlier, was that the Hayabusa seems to be the platform of choice (mostly) for ridiculous over-the-top custom jobbies...

That pink clown-faced one. Just... wow.

I dig this one.

"Ugliest Hayabusa ever" from the Hayabusa.org website:

+1

That seat looks comfy and I like what I can see of the swingarm

The Busa built for Sturgis?

(http://www.hayabusa.org/forum/attachments/general-bike-related-topics/231981d1316059395-why-people-do-there-hayabusa-gjmamjg-hayabusa-modify-51.jpg)

how much frame weight did they add to support that iguana and his mate?

It's far from the most tragic, and perhaps it doesn't deserve to make the cut, considering those last two fine examples.

But...

What is the obsession with the ridiculously long swingarm? And 9/10ths of the custom 'Busas seem to nix a front disc. As though they're offended by the very idea of turning, or stopping.

I don't even know what to make of the "Sturgis 'Busa."

Does the hump separating the two people have any function? Can you store stuff in that, maybe?

Extended swingarms come from the Drag Racing world.


Pro Mod Drag Bikes! MiRock Superbike Series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVVNeRW9UFc&feature=youtube_gdata_player#)

We have a winner  [bow_down]

I understand its purpose in the context of drag racing.

But putting a huge swingarm on a road bike seems a bit like putting a gigantic spoiler on your commuter car.

That's a fail right there, simply because it keeps boobs out of your back  ;D

It's the owners choice.

I'm so confused by that whole biker set.   ???


tigre's gonna be pissed that someone if f'n with his stipey mojo.  


From that pic, it looks like her boobs will have no problem reachin' his back no matter how much that swingarm gets extended.

I wasn't proposing we outlaw these practices, I was just voicing an aesthetic judgment about them.

No worries, they don't like your bike either.  :D

that's not where you want them...  :-X

So which one does this belong to?

Sigfried or Roy?

And the D-bag of the century award goes to.....

(http://www.sportbikez.net/bikepics/119/medium/1190212432.jpg)

I suppose once they decide their bike is going to be a trailer queen, it becomes less a question of "why?" and more a question of "how long?"

Being the owner of a normal, sport touring Busa seeing what some of these yahoos do to these poor un-deserving, innocent scooters is really disturbing. It's like seeing someone chrome the frame and wheels of 999 and give it a flame paint job. It should be a second degree felony in all 50 states. >:(

I couldn't have said it better.... 




[bacon]

The majority of Busa owners must think you're really poor or just a newb.. :-)

it looks like some of the 'show bikes' have armor all on the tyres.  that would
make for an interesting ride.

that hides chicken strips

Better get some filters on those bad boys!

Inspiration for that bike?

JM

having had a dozen of busas, i still think they are the ugliest bikes on the planet
some people say that about the zx14, but i just love that bike...but there is just something about the busa that just turns me off.
they ride great, super comfy, and definitely are fast, but seem to attract all sorts of people that have no taste.
but without those people, we wouldn't have this thread LOL
