Hey guys... Hayabusa and a Ducati?!! No comparison. Japanese bikes kick ass of Italian ones...
And when it comes to a Hayabusa... 340 - 350kp/h. Do you want any other comments?

Oh I forgot to say.
Proud to announce
I sold out my Gixxer 600 and bought a Hayabusa ( 2001 )
The brother to my Gixxer 1000
The Busa has a small mod like Yoshimura Stage 2 8)
The owner will give me the bike in 2 days. After the test drive, I will give you all the details :shock:

Hey friend, Hayabusa is good choice to be a fan.
If anyone interested where the name Hayabusa came from, a little remark: Hayabusa is the fastest bird in the world. And while hunting, it fly toward its hunt with a speed of 320kp/h

The Hayabusa will not do 320kp/h. It reaches the it's limit somewhere around 298-305 kp/h.
Trust me. I've tested it and measured the speed with GPS and laser, during an bike event a couple of years ago.
The speedometer is quite unaccurate.

The Hayabusa is quite heavy bike compared to the 1liter class. Nothing you drive around a circut with.
The Hayabusa is a really good and fast supersporttourer. But that's about it..

Hey guy. People would laugh what you say.
The night I get the Busa ( last day )
I did near 345kph in autobahn, between istanbul and İzmit.
And I have several videos of Busa's did over 340kph.
So, with such comments, don't make me laugh.
I like much My Gixxer 1000 since it is more agressive. But when it comes to top speed, Hayabusa goes goes goes...

I'm sorry if I break your illusions, but what the speedometer on your bike reads is not the real speed. It usually shows about 20-30+ km/h above the real speed, when running flat out.
If you don't belive me try measuring it with a laser, radargun, gps or a third wheel. You'll find it hard to go above 300km/h. Usually an 3 km airstrip is not enough.

And why don't you read what topspeeds the worlds Bikemagazines have reached.
