Default Bought my first motorcycle....holy crap!

This wednesday i decided i'd go and purchase my dream bike, before i say what it is here's a little background history.
I had a mid 80's RM250 with no title, i rode it twice, it was falling apart. I rode my friend ricky's Yamaha V-star around the block and had a great time, easy to ride it. Then i went and road tested a Suzuki Katana 750, it was fun and fast - but i wanted something faster. These are ALL the times i've ridden motorcycles - 4 times.

So I went and bought my dream bike a 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa
I rode it 400 miles in the last 2 days, that thing is INSANE! I absolutely love it, and unfortunately my cobra and GT just don't look the same to me....they're awesome and you can't beat a V8's rumble, but when your vision blurs and it feels like your face is peeling away from your skull that's an UNBELIEVABLE feeling. So anyway, it might be a good idea for you guys to take out a life insurance policy on me, lol.

Actually i haven't screwed around on it too much, it gets 42.4 mpg (has a display), is very predictable and pretty much you can ride in 6th gear and have TONS of power and the torque is unbelievable for a bike, the KATANA i rode was dead under 6,000 rpm.

anyway, that's my lame story, i've attached an image the dealership took of it......I LOVE MY BIKE!!!!

Who else here has a bike?

here's some info about these bikes to give people reference who don't know about it:
It's the world's fastest production motorcycle, many motorcycle mags can hit low 10 or high 9 second 1/4 mile times in the 140 ish mile per hour range.
0-60 in 2.8 seconds
I was able to buy it for $9,400 with some haggling, they wanted $10,399. It was a used bike with 1460 miles.
