[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Suzuki Hayabusa was and always will be the ultimate tool for covering collosal distances in comfort. The latest model launched in 2007 has more power, more torque, more style and better brakes. MCN readers voted it the 2nd best Suzuki ever, just behind the GSX-R1000. [/FONT]

just behind the GSX-R1000.

Typo .... just in front of the GSXR 1000

Ride & Handling:

"Not much has changed on the new Suzuki Hayabusa: same wheelbase, rake and trail. However the shock and front forks have been upgraded and the swing arm strengthened. Thankfully the Hayabusa’s brakes are now radial and do an excellent of stopping the big girl, without any fade even on the track. As you expect from the Suzuki Hayabusa you can’t fling it around but if you ride smoothly it’s very rewarding and with a few tweaks makes a decent track motorcycle."

Awww...just in time here @ the org for all the track day potsers to feel justified

Nothing like the fine English blokes of MCN to take a 300mile ride and end at a pub. At which point they get drunk and try to decide which Hyperbike would they'd prefer to ride home.

How do they say the handling has not improved much .... learn to ride !
That was the determining factor for me to buy the Gen II.
