SUZUKI HAYABUSA REVIEW

Suzuki Hayabusa

The Suzuki Hayabusa (also known as the GSX1300R in some countries) is a hypersport motorcycle originally introduced by Suzuki in 1999. It has a 1340 cc (81.7 cu in) inline-4 engine and was consistently tested as the fastest production motorcycle in the world before the 2001 detuning agreement referred below.The 2008 model has a MSRP of US$ 11,999.The name Hayabusa translates directly from the japanese as Peregrine Falcon, the bird capable of achieving speeds over 200 mph (322 km/h) -- and predator of (perhaps not coincidently) the common blackbird. The name is a subtle reference to Honda's competing Hawk models. When introduced in 1999, it overtook the Honda CBR 1100XXSuper Blackbird as the fastest production motorcycle. The first generation of the Hayabusa was called the GSX1300R and was powered by a 1299 cc (79.2 cu in) inline-4 liquid-cooled engine. It remained relatively unchanged up through the 2007 model year.From its debut in 1999 to June 2007 over 100,000 Hayabusas were sold worldwide.Every biker have a dream of riding Hyabusa because of the magic of the bike.Its became a passion to lots of people specially for youngsters.
