2004 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa review from United Kingdom
"Comfy, and very very fast now"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing, but the engine has been rebuilt due to the turbo conversion work.
General comments?
As a standard bikem the Hayabusa is quick, but not untouchable. However, bolt on a Velocity turbo kit and say bye bye to even the Starship Enterprise (and your license if you're not wary!).
Once setup it will run 260 on low boost, and 320 on higher boost, or 400 on silly boost for demo runs, that's with it weighing in at around 230kg - you do the performance maths!
