About Hayabusa Bike:
The Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa is a sports motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki since 1999. It was immediately acclaimed as the fastest production motorcycle in the world, with a top speed of 303 to 312 km / h (188 to 194 mph).
In 1999, fears of a backlash from European regulations or an import ban led to an informal agreement between Japanese and European manufacturers to govern the speed of tip their motorcycles to an arbitrary limit. [10] The media value of the speed tuning in miles per hour was consistently 186 mph, while in kilometers per hour it ranged from 299 to 303 km / h, which is typical given the errors of unit conversion rounding. This figure can also be affected by a number of external factors, such as horsepower and torque values.
The conditions under which this limitation was adopted led the title of Hayabusa 1999 to remain, at least technically, unassailable, because no later model could go faster without being altered. After the much anticipated 2000 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R dropped to 6 km / h (4 mph) before claiming the title, the Hayabusa secured its place as fastest standard production bike of the 20th century. This gives the 1999 unlimited models even more cachet with collectors.
Besides its speed, the Hayabusa has been praised by many critics for its overall performance, in that it does not radically compromise other qualities such as handling, comfort, reliability, noise, economy of fuel or price in the pursuit of a single function. Jay Koblenz of Motorcycle Consumer News commented, “If you think a motorcycle's ability to approach 190 mph or a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds is frivolous at best and at worst offensive, it remains a bike that deserves to be taken into consideration. The Hayabusa is speed in all its glory. But speed isn't all the Hayabusa is. "
