[Jyn]

My excuse is..... I am a newby and semi isn't here to ask.

I understand it is a kanji however, there are many kanji symbols. Sooooo my question is what does the hayabusa kanji sign stand for?

[Mr Bogus]

It's japanese right. I found alot of kanji signs but I can't seem to match it. I am still looking though. Hmmmm.... sorry it just bugging me and I have got to get to the bottom of this mystery.

[HRHDi]

It's very "stylized" - kind of like a signature.

[Jyn]

You are right HRHDi,

"Hayabusa"; not just falcon, as there are several types of falcons, but "Peregrine Falcon", the fastest of them all.

Additionally, the name "Hayabusa" was chosen because peregrine falcons eat black-birds, which is the name of some used-to-be-fast Honda something-or-another.

Very cheeky.

"Kanji" are alphabetic and translates to what we call 'characters'.

No stoopid questions.

I heard the color on the 08 was intended as a direct jab at HD... BlackBird eater.. heck it killed it off...

So, I guess black isn't the fastest color....

  THanks for all the info, also good to know!

Interesting reading for anyone interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Hayabusa

From the link:
The name Hayabusa translates directly from the Japanese as Peregrine Falcon, the bird capable of achieving speeds over 200 mph (322 km/h) -- and predator of (perhaps not coincidently) the common blackbird. The name is a subtle reference to Honda's competing Hawk models. When introduced in 1999, it overtook the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird as the fastest production motorcycle. The first generation of the Hayabusa was called the GSX1300R and was powered by a 1299 cc (79.2 cu in) inline-4 liquid-cooled engine. It remained relatively unchanged up through the 2007 model year.

most of the pictures I looked at of the Peregrine Falcon showed a lot of white and gray (silver) Gotta love the 06 Limited!!!

[HRHDi]

Isn't it amazing the amount of (some might term) useless knowledge we can pool together?

[JR'S BUSA]

I love useless knowledge !!!


and black is the slowest color

[PDBusa]

Yep. I've seen a number of different colored peregrines. Mostly black, silver, and white. Making combinations of those colors obviously faster.

Never seen a red one though....

Sorry guys, it is what it is...

[Busa Jules]

I like to think of it as the "Quick Chicken"

[darth frosty]

It stands for falcon...As in Millennium Falcon

Ok, since Millennium Falcon (MF) has been called, and it was the fastest ship in the galaxy (when the hyperdrive worked) where can I get a hyperdrive for my 06? Of course the MF was silver/gray as well!!
