That was backed by a 9.70-second, 148.48-mph pass through the quarter-mile, making the new Hayabusa the quickest production bike we’ve ever tested.
2008 Suzuki Hayabusa First Ride Review- Suzuki Hayabusa Sportbike Test
This is from the 2008 test.
100% stock, no straps, no lowering, no tricks and no pro racers.
I'm going to duck after saying this ??? BUT I will never believe a stock motor, SWB busa, bolt on only, with NO TRICKS will ever run in the 8's.
No improvements I know of , however in 2013 they added brembo front calipers and ABS.For a first bike, I knew that I was getting started with a beastly big woman but has she improved over the years from 2008 to 2012?
dadofthree, thanks. I just thought that since 2008, they might have added 1 or 2 horses, maybe even lightened the load a little.
