That's me with a Suzuki Hayabusa in My Home town,,
About Haybusa......
The name Hayabusa is the Japanese term for the Peregrine Falcon, known for its speed. When introduced in 1999, it overtook the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird as the fastest production motorcycle. Perhaps it is not coincidental that the Peregrine Falcon is a predator of the common blackbird. The first generation of the Hayabusa was called the GSX1300R and was powered by a 1299 cc inline-4 liquid-cooled engine. It would remain relatively unchanged up through the 2007 model year.
The motorcycle's performance in stock form is capable of the following:
1/4 mile (402 m): 10.02 seconds @ 143.7 mph (231.3 km/h)[2]
60-80 mph: 3.13 seconds[2]
80-100 mph: 3.31 seconds[2]
Top speed: 189.6 mph[2]
Power: 156.1 hp @ 9500 rpm

[edit] 2008 Competition in the hyper sport bike segment would increase with the release of motorcycles like the BMW K1200S, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14. This increased competition would eventually lead to Suzuki heavily revising the GSX1300R for the 2008 model year. Suzuki dropped the GSX1300R designation and simply called the motorcycle the Hayabusa. The engine size was increased to 1340 cc with the compression ratio increasing to 12.5:1. The revised mill has a claimed 12% increase in power.[3] Fuel is now fed through a pair of new 44 mm Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) throttle bodies. The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS), a technology introduced on the GSX-R line of motorcycles, provides three options of power delivery for a range of touring to wide open high performance. Some of the more notable features include a new 4-2-1-2 exhaust system meets Euro 3 and Tier 2 emission regulations, a slipper clutch, and redesigned bodywork. Performance numbers have not been released, nor has the bike been tested by print or online media publications yet.

Controversy 2005 GSX1300R "Hayabusa" After its introduction, the major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers realized that the power and speed wars among flagship sport bikes would not end and would eventually lead to increased government regulation, an unfavorable public image due to more fatal accidents and higher insurance premiums.[citation needed] In model years 2001 and later an electronic speed limiter to 299 km/h (186 mph) was added, dropping the top speed from 326 km/h (203 mph). The 2001-2007 model top speed restriction may be bypassed with a TRE (Timing Retard Eliminator) which makes the ECU use the 5th gear fuel injection map. However it should be noted that legally these should only be fitted for race use.
[edit] Hayabusa in popular culture T This bike was used in the Indian movie Dhoom. The villain John Abraham in the movie was shown using it as the getaway vehicle after conducting heists. The bike and the film both went on to acquire cult status in India.
From its 1999 inception until 2004, the Hayabusa was the only base model officially allowed in NHRA Pro Stock Bike competition.[citation needed] No Hayabusas have run in the NHRA since 2005.
Stock paint schemes on the Hayabusa feature the Japanese kanji symbol 隼, or "hayabusa."
A heavily modified Hayabusa is used by the 'Ghost Rider' of Stockholm, Sweden.
The Hayabusa was also used by actor Laurence Fishburne in the movie Biker Boyz.
