Guys, I don't own a Haybusa, instead I chose a '99 TLR. Love it! I got this in an email and thought I'd share it with you.
WHAT'S A HYABUSA? ONE FAST BIKE!
Hyabusa is Japanese for peregrine falcon, the world's
fastest bird, but it's also Suzuki's latest entry into the
high-tech world of sportbikes; in stock trim, is has run
close to 200 mph.
Hyabusa also will be the hot word this year in the
Pro Stock Bike pits as reigning Winston champ Matt
Hines and others will debut Hyabusa bodywork,
designed and built by Dave Schultz and recently
accepted for NHRA competition, on their machines
before midyear.
Hines will run his '99 Suzuki GSX-R at the PSB
season-opening Mac Tools Gatornationals, but hopes
to have a new GSX1300R Hyabusa body by the
inaugural SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals in Las
Vegas.
"It's a pretty wild-looking body, and, from what
I've seen, it looks very aerodynamic," said Hines. "It
should help us toward our goal, which is to eventually
run in the 6s at more than 200 mph."
Star Racing team owner George Bryce also will
abandon the GSX-R 750 bodywork that has been the
class standard for more than a decade but plans to
use the recently approved Suzuki TL1000R bodywork
rather than the Hyabusa.
Yeah it's just our bodywork but....pretty cool anyway. Take Care.
