Want to rule the roads !!!!!!!!!!! The Suzuki Hayabusa (also known as the GSX1300R in some countries) is a hyper sport 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 .The 2008 model has a Maximum retail price of US$11,999.
The name Hayabusa translates directly from the Japanese as Peregrine Falcon, the bird commonly attributed of achieving speeds of 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 CBR1100XX Super 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.
Now for the speed statistics:
1/4 mile (402 m): 10.02 seconds @ 143.7 mph (231 km/h)
60–80 mph: 3.13 seconds
80–100 mph: 3.31 seconds
Top speed: 189.6 mph (305 km/h)
Power: 156.1 hp (116.4 kW) @ 9,500 rpm (rear wheel)
But Guys I am afraid if you can ensconse your girlfriend in the single seater ( if she does not mind !!) OOps ! wear an armoury while at home as a protective sheath from your BETTER HALVES !

In this race India does not want to lag behind.
After 'Hayab USA' India has decided to launch a Mobike 'PT USA' named after Sprinter 'PT Usha!
Subsidised, Faster than the sprinter herself and is bound to give you a run for your money!
Well, Shanker was always very keen to buy a mobike. But unfortunately we could never afford it then. Now on hindsight(and with your dangerous postcript message)I think it was good we couldn't...hehehehe...
Good comparision, Faiyaz.Your reference to PT Usha reminded me of the college joke doing rounds those days on how she would have won the race had she been better endowed!
Naresh--do you manufacture wheels for the Hayabusa too?
Oh no ! venu ! Just a automobile fad that I have.
Sleep, drink, eat and think anything which moves on wheels.
We had a offer from Hero Honda , but strategically refused , as the technology involved is different than what we do for cars.
Just passed on your number to VIM recently who was in HYB, he wanted to meet you.
