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).
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

Pros: Great Tourer, Unbelievable pickmeup & hangon, AUS$19,300.00 but well worth the rush !
Cons: missus' belts you in the back when you hit 180kms/h.
Summary: Best Bike Suzuki or any other bike manufacturer has ever produced !
If your looking for an all round Sports Tourer - you won't go past this beast.
You must expect to replace rear tyres every 2500kms and keep up the services.

Pros: Handles well, Extremely powerful, Very smooth.
Cons: Windscreen offers little protection. Required frequent jump-start in winter.

Pros: awesome power!!
Cons: Awesome power!!!!
Summary: I purchased the Busa because of the power claims and the fact it was fuel injected and state of the art technology. My last ride was a Katana 1100 with nitrous. The Hayabusa out powered my Kat in every gear. I new it was going to be fast, but was ... read more

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

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

Pros: It seems a little bit fast
Cons: big cost
Summary: 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 ... read more

Summary: 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 ... read more

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