Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R

The fastest motorcycle in the world.

A machine that captivates the gaze. I've long been fascinated by the the Suzuki Hayabusa. I think it will be only a short time until I own one.

Each trip to the dealer to check out this bike is like a pilgrimage to Mecca. To those of us who saw the sportbike evolve over the last 15 years. From the '86 GSXR750 to where we stand today, this bike is by far the pinnacle of progress.

When I look at it- it seem huge. But once I'm riding, it feels like a toy.
The Hayabusa in unlike anything I have ever ridden before. It's more refined than my ZX-11. When you rev the motor and accelerate off into the distance, it feels designed for this. As if it's sole purpose were entrenched in allowing the ride to travel at any velocity in relative safety and ease.

I realize now the level of discipline and restraint it requires to own this bike. Well, maybe I wouldn't call it restraint, but just plain discipline. The whole package takes some readjusting as to what you might think of as normal. You're headed down the freeway, the speedometer indicates 70 mph, yet it barely seems to have risen around it's circular path.

One of the most interesting things I ever read about the Hayabusa is instead of pulling wheelies when you grab a fistful of throttle, instead the bike will rocket forward and slowly pull the front tire off the ground.

When you sit upon this bike, it has a wondrous feel that occurs when your hands contact the handlebars. It's a tingle that flows through your wrists, arms, shoulders and causes a sensation of warmth to flow across your chest.

Torque is a wonderful thing.

Horsepower,
is a very wonderful thing.

Why Buy A Suzuki Bike?

by Ian Walsh

Making your choice

Making the choice of the right motorbike for you is certainly a difficult decision. The choice of bike should mostly be determined on the individuals lifestyle and what the bike will be used for. Most bike riders will ask their buddies what is going to be the best bike for them. As always, recommendations always play a part, and most bike riders will ask their friends for advice. For the most part, Ive personally heard any negative comments about the Suzuki range of bikes.

As Suzuki has a large independent dealership, it is easy to get a hands-on demonstration of the bike before you buy it. Again, because the of the large dealership network, it is easy to keep the bike maintained or buy spares which youll invariably need to do over the life of ownership.

Suzuki Motorbike Range

The Suzuki motorbike range covers all types of model including sports bikes for the thrill seekers, motocross for the more sporty among you, off-roaders for those looking for the thrill of all-terrain riding and tourers that can seat two people who like to get around in comfort.

Within each category of Suzuki bike, there are a number of different models with varying specifications and styles. For the image conscious each bike is also usually be bought in different colors, or can be "pimped" by adding a style pack. Its fair to say that within the Suzuki motorcycle range theres a model to suit every need.

My final piece of advice is to go down to your local dealership, have a look around and arrange a test-ride. You wont be disappointed.
