Dammit I HATE Hayabusas.

Ok, seriously, if I have one more person ask me about a Hayabusa I'm going to tell them to wait right there. I'm going to drive down to Suzuki, buy a Hayabusa, go home and put on my leathers and then go back to where the person is. As I'm coming up to them, I'm going to ride it straight ahead full speed at a brick fucking wall and jump off. After the bike crashes and explodes and mayhem rains supreme from the skies, I'll get up and explain "That's about all they're good for".

The new 'busa' has a 1340cc motor putting out something like 200 horsepower AT THE MOTOR, and probably around 160 at the rear wheel, give or take. It weighs 550 pounds wet. So you do the math. The average 1000cc bike, take the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 for example. 440 pounds wet, 189 horsepower in the motor and 155 at the rear wheel, give or take. It weighs 100 pounds less and is only shy by MAYBE 15 to 20 horsepower. That weight difference doesn't include the 700 series tire that all the busa owners seem to be buying (yeah becuase that looks good....?) or all the chrome SHIT that they put on the jap sportbike. it doesn't even include the 14 foot stretched swingarm or NOSSSS bottles they strap to their ass. If you think "Hey, those will be comfortable on long rides!" GO BUY A GOLDWING.

You only buy one of these big lumbering giants for one of 2 reasons.

1) You are a professional drag racer and want a good platform (FOR DRAG RACING) right off the bat.
2) You assume that just because you have a sticker with a bigger number smacked on the side of your bike, you have the fastest bike on the planet and therefore the biggest dick.

Correction, you ARE the biggest dick. Engine size doesn't mean shit. Just becuase the bike has an extra 10 miles an hour top end over any 1000cc bike people think it's the end all be all motorcycle. Well guess what, I wanna see the average Joe hop on a Hayabusa and carry their ass up to 170 miles an hour (NOT ON THE STREET) and see if they have the balls to twist it the rest of the way. At 186 miles an hour you can stick your helmet out of the bubble to one side and the bike will TURN becuase of the drag. People simply do not understand what modern sportbikes are capable of. A BRAND NEW 600 has 115 horsepower tops at the rear wheel and will outrun 99.7% of modern production cars in the world. Is that not enough? The new Yamaha YZF-R1 travels from 0 to 60 in 1.8 seconds and 0 to 100 in just over 4.5 in first fucking gear. Is that not enough??? The Hayabusa isn't "quicker" than ANY of these bikes, it just gives you the ability to touch a "REGISTERED" 200 miles an hour with minor add ons. Ohhh, which by the way. On a motorcycle, the faster you go, the more inaccurate your speedo is. So a registered 200 is probably only about 185. Sorry to break it to you guys.

News flash, the Hayabusa is uglier than a bag of assholes, its heavy and an over-hyped bike that people who can't make decisions for themselves buy just because it's a "Hayabusa" and has the biggest number on the side of it.

Teeters OUT.
