2003 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa review from United Kingdom
"Fast, Fast, VERY FAST!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Battery died at 3,100 miles.
General comments?
A very, very quick bike!
It is my second Hayabusa and I love the size and feel of the bike.
I have owned a Fireblade, R1, GSXR 1000 and ZX12R. The Hayabusa makes the 1000 cc sportsbikes look like toys.
The seating position on the Busa is much better than the 12R in that the seat is lower and it make the bike feel more balanced. The 12R was top heavy with the high seating.
