The year 1999 saw the introduction of the GSX1300R Hayabusa which immediately took over the mantle of fastest production motorcycle in the world from the Honda CBR1100XX - Super Blackbird. Hayabusa is the Japanese for Peregrine Falcon known for cutting through the wind with incredible ease, and whose favourite prey is the common blackbird!
I have come across a number of statements and claims on the GSX1300R whilst compiling this book and they are listed here for your interest, consideration and judgement. A machine so unique when it was introduced that it required its own new classification: Ultimate Sport. A motorcycle so exciting that it has developed a devoted following around the world.
A motorcycle so amazing that it has outsold its would-be competitors across a span of almost 10 years. Combining seemlessly effortless acceleration, wind-cheating aerodynamics, sporty handling, timeless style, long-distance comfort and unlimited excitement. Built to deliver balanced performance. Its progress is traced through road & comparison test, new model introdutions and a full owners guide. All models are reported.
