“...SO GOOD WE WISH SUZUKI WOULD DO A GT VERSION”
The rush provided by one of the best motors ever built for a motorcycle should not be underestimated. Pin the throttle of the new Hayabusa and you’ll know you’re alive, because the rush of adrenalin to the brain is intense. It goes very fast, very quickly.
