I tested a few, ZZR1400, BMW K1200s, VFR1200 and to be honest most well ridden FZ's would stay in touch unless you have a straight then these bigger bikes just take off.
The ZZR1400 is great but pre 2012 I hate the front end. The Hayabusa is just so smooth and fast that it's hard to say no and I love the front end look.
If I had the money I swear the Fazer would still be in the garage as well as it was a hoot red lining it at 14k
Worthy of note though is that Hasting's Direct flatly refused to insure it! I think the word Hayabusa is a bit like Cosworth was in the late 80s. I'm over 40 (0 years no claims on my bike but 9 years + on my car and I'm an advanced blue light driver) and it cost me £300 year to insure.
