2000 Suzuki GSX 1300R HAYABUSA

Pros: Speed, Reliability, Comfort (on a fast bike?!)
Cons: Box-of-Frogs ugliness

Sums and geometry are where it all comes together. Horsepower, wheelbase, weight, stiffness, tyre grip, centre of gravity - you get the idea. Raise or lower one, and you'd better be reducing, increasing, lengthening and shortening the others, or things...

Pros: It seems a little bit fast
Cons: big cost

As an avid rider of all things fast, I thought I had had my fill. I even sold the over stuffed 72 Cuda several years ago. It was costing too much in gas and looked silly with baby car seats in the back.

I was offered the chance to ride...

Pros: Fast, Fast, and did I mention Fast?
Cons: More expensive than smaller bikes, handling suffers with speed

All I have to say is top speed around 205 mph. Need I say more? If this bike had wings, it would take off and you would probably end up on the moon faster than you could say "OOPS, Was That the GAS??!!"

My really good friend who...

Pros: speed, comfort, styling, power,
Cons: price? It is well worth it!!

The Hayabusa is amazing!

I picked up my new Hayabusa and all I can say is it is amazing. A $9450 left over 2000 no restrictions on this one!

For everyone here that owns a busa you must be like so whats the big deal! But for those...

Pros: Accelerates like an MX missile on crack.
Cons: I don't have one...Yet

I have never been a Suzuki man, never owned one. That is not to say that I don't like the machines, I just never had the inclination to get one. I have owned Yamaha almost exclusively since my first bike waaay back in '82. The list includes a FZX700,...

Pros: fast bike and look really good
Cons: not smooth

i saw this bike when i was in cali and i think this is one of the nicest bike the world. once i found out that my cousin boyfriend got one, i got a ride from him. dammm this is one of the fastest bike in the world. i highly recommend to buy this...

Pros: Loads of speed.
Cons: Needs better paint.

I love to ride this beast you can fly over anything. Take to the freeway and, let it go all the way, wind in you're hair, eyes watered shut, nails stuck into the hand grips. Then you just keep flying away till you feel like
soaring the...

Pros: Really dangerously FAST
Cons: Really dangerously FAST

Well, after seeing countless reviews I decided to try to put a little REALITY to this machine called ...

Pros: Great perfomance, styling, handling, ride; Not as expensive as it could be; Fastest bike on the block
Cons: Not meant for two riders, draws a lot of bad attention

The GSX 1300R Hayabusa is a natural born head-turner. From its radical styling to the sound of its revving 1300cc engine, It's hard to keep your eyes off of the Hayabusa. In Japanese, Hayabusa means bird of prey. Maybe Suzuki opted to call it this...

Pros: extreme power
Cons: extreme power

This is the fastest bike I've riddin yet! 0-60...0-100... top speed... what do you want to talk? I love the throttle response, quick but yet very controlable. Getting it into the R's and then giving it all its got is a ride like no other.The front end...

Pros: speed,handling,reliability,
Cons: poor visibility in mirrors,short tire life

The bike was bought because I love speed. All the magazines agree this
is the fastest production motorcycle ever made.
I bought the bike used primarily because dealers won't give test rides. I paid $8,000 for a 99 in good condition.
I'm an...

Pros: Speed, comfort, great highway machine
Cons: Handling, OEM tires

I have a 1999 Hayabusa and love the power and top end speed. It is a great highway sport tourer and a bike you want to have underneath you when an 18-wheeler is barelling down on you.

It handles OK on twisties, but it's weight and slow...

Pros: Great looks, power, handling, etc.
Cons: Insurance can be high, Law enforcement does take notice :)

My first bike was a Bandit 600, and I decided to ride that for two years and become a good rider, then I would choose something with more power that better fit my riding style. I wanted a Hayabusa first time I laid eyes on one. It's a beautiful bike...

Pros: Fast//Hayabusa is in the guinness book of world records for the fastest production bike.
Cons: I like everything including cost.

The Hayabusa is the fastest production motorcycle. I own a Red/Silver 2000 hayabusa that has been modified and now puts over 181hp to the rear wheel. This bike is in the sport tourer class but actually should be a supersport. It is about 100lbs...

Pros: Stable at speed, predictable around corners, smooth acceleration, comfortable ride... and of course; fast.
Cons: Heavy and long (but not too much of either, just less than ideal).

When it comes down to it, there is little difference between the top liter bikes. If you go with the GSXR1000, the R1, the CBR1000, or the ZX-10R, you've got plenty of bike beneath you. The Busa is a slightly different bike, for the most obvious of ...
