Hey guys I didn't find this bike on mouthshut so I placed my review right here zig zag zoooooom


hay as I have told you I like riding hot new bikes well its my experience that says for this bike


2000 Suzuki GSX 1300R HAYABUSA


Well last night just as I finished my exams I went to my buddy rokey,he is ''smart azzhokk'', he brought''2000 Suzuki GSX 1300R HAYABUSA'' and as he knows he asked me to ride this babe,yep and MAN it was damn cool just as I put my boddy on this bike or say babe its so hot!!!! wow what a speed when you will ride this one you'll come to know. Well I am damn crazy about this bike cuz following reasons.


Sums and geometry are where it all comes together. Horsepower, wheelbase, weight, stiffness, tyre grip, centre of gravity - you get the idea. Raise or lower one, and you'd better be reducing, increasing, lengthening and shortening the others, or things are going to get pear shaped. Unless you're a pear, that's not particularly advantageous.


All the Japanese manufacturers have had a shot at making the ''world's fastest motorcycle'' at some time or another, but recent history teaches us that they sit at the top of their engineered pinnacle for a little while, then along trip the inscrutables from Suzuki with some half tamed fire-breathing monster on a short leash. Exit, stage left, for the fastest bike tag.


This time the GSX 1300R Hayabusa has brutally shafted the Honda Blackbird. Suzuki's design engineer says that the two wheeled 'Busa was conceived when, walking along a beach at sunset, he saw a Japanese Hayabusa (peregrine falcon) do it's main act of hunting a flying version of a blackbird by diving on the hapless little soul at 180 mph. Very poetic. So how come this motorcycle gives a new, very explicit meaning to the word 'ugly'? Suzi tell the world that the swoopy bodywork was sculpted by aerodynamics. That may be, but in my opinion it still looks like a blind cobbler's thumb. Nasty.


So what does it ride like? Well, it's around 46 Kilos heavier than the R1, and about 36 heavier than the CBR900, and is almost 5 feet between the axles. From these figures they could have named it Hey-its-a-bus. But Suzuki have a fine pedigree of rip-snortin' hoonable monsters in it's past line-up, and this engine is, after all, a direct descendant of the loony GSX-R 1100WP, so let's give it a chance.


Take one Suzuki propulsive lump, Bore it, Stroke it, slam in bigger valves with a narrower valve angle to make the chamber more compact, and do all the other sums to sort out a 20% displacement increase, bolt it solidly into the frame to give bucketloads of stiffness, and install a twice engine speed balancer to kill vibes. Make light, forged pistons to wang up and down in alloy cylinders with nickel-phosophorus silicon-carbide plating, and feed the beast through big, straight intake tracts coupled to ram-air... you just got a recipe for speed.


Let's get on it then. It's a monstrous blob, and no mistake. I circle it warily before throwing a leg over the saddle. Hey - it's comfortable, and I'm not out of my depth - yet. At my size, low speed paddling around would be a hoot for onlookers though. Ignition on, jab the button, and the thing fires up with about as much fuss and with as much noise as my CD-ROM drive. Hmmmm. So far, no rider involvement as such. Pull back on the extremely light action clutch, snick the whale into first, do the business with the left hand, and we're away.


Up through the box, the 'Busa isn't as urgent as either a Fireblade or the R1, but there's this seemingly endless wave of mid-range that is deceptive. On a more focused sport bike, you're channeled into the groove, up for it and concentrating, but the Suzuki lulls you into a false sense of security. Before you can say ''Holy, err..., corner,'' there's one coming up. And if you miss that, there'll be another along in a minute. Surprisingly, I'm enjoying this big barge.


For such a porky beast, she turns and handles very well. After a bit, with my confidence growing all the time, the galleon is grounding in the corners due to its width. Pegs, fairing lowers, generator cover and exhaust can, in that order. Still stable though. Quite amazing. The suspension is soaking up all the road and I can throw at it, and braking is more than adequate, but if you get too enthusiastic in your late braking endeavours inertia will put the bike into ''I'm going in a straight line and no-one can stop me'' mode, as it tries to ignore the corner. The front end is well planted (there's a lot of weight working for you) and she will deal with these upsets, but at the cost of lightening the rear. Can you say spinning rear tyre? The ratio of sprung to unsprung weight is high, and this has the effect of giving the chassis an easier job of trying to tame 248 Kilos of careering metal and plastic.


So how fast is fast? Let's just say that it's performance is a definite danger to keeping your licence. The clock says 340 Kph, but this one did around 320. That's 198 Mph in real speed, on the limiter, in top. Phew!


A word to the wise - this bike is not for the average squid. Yanking on the throttle at (reasonably) sensible speeds will obstruct your view of the road ahead - because you, my friend, will be looking at the sky. Then again, it's such a nice blue colour, it ought to be looked at occasionally - now where did I put the keys to the 'Busa?


So that's about it. The bike was a revelation, as I fully expected it to be a typical evil handling rocketship - great in a straight line but with the 'going around curves' part of motorcycling as an optional. The much-vaunted aerodynamic fairing is efficient, but above 120 MPH the wind blast will buffet you unmercifully. My rubber face is the result of pulling G's at work - but a few years down the line you won't be able to tell us pilots apart from the 'Busa riders. Suzuki's irresponsible approach to responsible motorcycling is still legal, so let's go grab a handful of hoonable Hayabusa before it's legislated out of existence. It's still damn ugly though.


you should really try this bike hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bip
