Yoshimura Stainless Race System Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 99-05

Advantages: every thing
Disadvantages: none

...ride it and would not recomend it for any learners. be carefull if you are at the lights and want to just get infront of a car on my old gsx750 this was easy and i just speed away in first and think nothing of it - on the busa you give it too much and you will find yourself starring at the sky trying to get the front wheel back down. all in all the Suzuki Hayabusa is a great touring machine that gives the best handling, a great deal of confort and a feeling of safety which is hard to describe why with a rocket strapped to you but it is just an amazing machine. I have a big weekend planned for it now and am looking forward to watching it eat through allot more K's on the way.... Read review

I am glad i have had 10 years biking experience and feel this machine requires a good knowledge to be able to ride it and would not recomend it for any learners. be carefull if you are at the lights and want to just get infront of a car on my old gsx750 this was easy and i just speed away in first and think nothing of it - on the busa you give it too much and you will find yourself starring at the sky trying to get the front wheel back down. all in all the Suzuki Hayabusa is a great touring machine that gives the best handling, a great deal of confort and a feeling of safety which is hard to describe why with a rocket strapped to you but it is just an amazing machine.

...your faster than anything your likely to meet! The average price for a second hand 'busa is around £6000, but for an extra 2 and a half thousand, you can get a new one. Considering many other big bikes like Honda or Kawazaki usually charge in the region of £30000 for a new bike, this is amazing. But that's just the way Suzuki is. There are several downsides to the 'busa however. The fuel just disappears after a day's riding and after too long you can feel yourself becoming incredibly uncomfortable. The length of the bike means a titch like me has to stretch to reach everything, and it can get very painful on the back and arms. If your female or short, beware when it comes to the Hayabusa. If you want a Duke or something else thats prettier than it handles don't even bother. Basically, buy this bike if your a nut, if not, make sure... Read review
