@Jakerin what year is the hayabusa? (that's a suzuki for you bitkahuna ) always thought it was awesome that the first year of the bike was technically the 'fastest' one ever since all later models were electronically speed limited

Good friend of mine had a turbo hayabusa, as if it needed more power…

‘06, I bought it new in February of 2006. Gen 1s went thru 2007. I’ve put 90,000 Smiles on it thru 11 states so far. The 99/00 models were unrestricted and all others are limited to just 186 mph.

Wow, 90k on the Busa is crazy, they are not exactly comfortable bikes. I would love to do a cross country trip on a motorcycle some day!

omg those look like the biggest death traps EVER haha... what's even crazier to me is that the underground racing TT gallardos were even faster still vs a hayabusa with 425 whp
