Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R Crotch Rocket - Sport Bike Motorcycle Review

1. 

The Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R motorcycle is a top-of-the-line crotch rocket. As one of the most popular crotch rockets or sport bikes in the motorcycle category it is probably most well known for its speed. It came into this world in 1999 and with ongoing testing it was the fastest production motorcycle in the world.
It enjoyed an excellent reputation among sport bikes however in 2000 the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers decided that they would have to change some of the specs. They were worried about the regulation that was bound to happen among various governments and they didn't want to have any problems.
So in 2001 and the following years through 2008, they added what is called a timing retard to the fifth gear and a rev limiter. This changed the maximum speed to 186 mph from the 198mph that was enjoyed on the earlier model.

It has six gears however most will keep it in third pretty much for tooling around town and up to 60 mph on the local tracks.
The Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R has a cool 3-way switch on the right handle bar. Choices are - one for full power and response and the other two switches reduce action and output.
And of course - it's a crotch rocket so you're going to be sitting close to the ground. It sits a little lower than some other models and the bars are not as narrow. But most crotch rocket lovers like this.
The translation of Hayabusa from the Japanese language is peregrine falcon. Thee peregrine falcon can travel faster than 200 mph. This Suzuki motorcycle certainly meets that definition.

Of the many modifications we have made, TURBOCHARGING the Hayabusa continues to be a customer favorite. Entry-level street kits, or assault-weapons for the quarter mile - its your choice. We have built and tuned Mr. Turbo, Hahn Racecraft, MC Express, RCC Turbos and Velocity Racing turbo kits. The HAHN RACECRAFT STAGE ONE turbo 'busa continues to be the best value as an entry-level turbo kit. This kit can be installed on a completely stock motor, and is quite capable of producing 240 rear wheel horsepower ON PUMP GAS! Completely reliable and driveable - a bike you will be able to drive every day, everywhere. With the addition of a boost controller and some good fuel, the very same setup will produce 300 rear wheel horse. And we can do this for less money than it would cost to build that big gas motor you were thinking about, which would also make less horsepower.

In 2008 the crotch rockets or sport bike competition soared when the BMW K120S and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R were brought to the marketplace.
Suzuki is no longer called the GSX1300R in some countries because Suzuki dropped it and they call it simply the Hayabusa.
The Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R can go a quarter mile in 9.62 seconds at 149 mph. It can go from 0-60 mph in 6 seconds and from 0-180 in 15.9 seconds.
The 2009 models come in white and silver, black and gray, black and gold and silver and gray. In 2008 the Hayabusa sold for $12,000 or so. Although now, individual deals can be made with local dealers. And if you're lucky enough to find a used Hayabusa that's not all beat up, that's good too and can save you a lot of money.

So if you're thinking about buying a Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R sportbike you'll get a high performance motorcycle - sport bike or crotch rocket that you'll be proud to own, do endless motorcycle stunts and wheelies and love to ride! But don't buy this crotch rocket - motorcycle as your first bike. Repairs can be expensive and one spill can end up causing a lot of damage. Get a used older bike and practice on that unless you're an experienced rider now

Motorcycles and Girls

A motorcycle is considered as the one of the trendiest and common means of transport. Earlier, it was popular only among men. But, today, even girls are passionate about this trendy vehicle and are widely using it off and on road rides.

 
As the physical structure of a woman is entirely different from a man, a woman should select a motorcycle which will suit her physical structure. For example, women generally have forward riding postures because of the lower center of gravity and less upper body weights. To provide more control and comfort while riding, the motorcycles for women come with dropped handlebars. In order to reduce the problem of saddle discomfort, the weight is shifted from the seat region to the arms. Motorcycles also come with specially designed seats for women riders.
With an increase in the use of motorcycles by girls, numerous models and brands of motorcycles are introduced in the market, and this includes a lot of poorly designed vehicles also. Therefore, it is always recommended to take lots of quality test rides before selecting one. Generally, the motorcycles used by women are the lighter versions of the men's model. Thus, they are easier to handle and comfortable to ride.
There are many special organizations and clubs for motorcycles girls. These clubs and organizations arrange for motorcycle rallies and events for girls. One such event is the bike week organized in Daytona Beach of Florida. This bike rally started in 1937, and since then it has been considered one of the most popular events for women riders. Bike week is organized every year, and motorcycle girls from all around the world come to take part in this rally. Apart from the rally, wet t shirt contests, bikini contests, pudding wrestling, coleslaw wresting, and many other hot events are organized during the bike week.

It is also considered fashionable for girls on motorcycles. Every motorcycle magazine has motorcycle girls on their pages throughout each issue. Thus, you get to see a girl on top of every great article of a quality motorcycle magazine.
