Use heat (hair dryer) on tank sticker...grow your fingernails and peel off piece by piece. After all gone...glob the goo gone one and rub hard. Then more goo gone. More rub. Then more goo gone then rub. I probably should have just left the goo gone on longer. I would get the Goo Gone Gel since it does not run as much. Still in deliberations about taking the front and back Suzuki off. Leaning towards taking them off.

Ok...the majority ruled. The front and back Suzuki came off as well as the tire sticker on the swingarm. The Suzuki stickers came off with heat (very easily). The tire pressure sticker was a b#@!tch to get off!

As much as I love the Hayabusa...Suzuki doesnt really compare in "brand name" to Ferrari. Secondly, I wouldnt be caught dead in a Versacci suit, and thirdly...I would buy new parts for my Busa before I ever spent the money for a Gucci Bag!
took the suzuki and all the warning crap off, one on the frame, left the engine specs on.
Kept the kanji.
If people don't know it is a busa, I usually don't have the time to explain it..

I've taken most of mine off, have intentions of removing the rest. Safety stickers are gone, still have swing arm stickers and the small suzuki stickers on front and back to remove.
I'll keep the "S" on the tank and the kanjis as well as the GSX1300R stickers but nothing else.
As far as the comparison to Ferrari, big difference there in my mind
The suit, last I checked the tag was on the inside so what's it matter
The Gucci purse, I wouldn't spend that on a purse nor live with a woman that would

+1 on a few decals
I completely stripped all stickers from mine, including Kanji's.. I have to admit the Kanji's coming off was inducing a somewhat uneasy feeling, but after the removal and a fresh wax, she looks awesome !!! 
Possibly
It's hard to tell from the photo, but that year black should have some flake or sparkle in the sunlight.
Crashed is a strong word though, more like it fell over if you don't see obvious damage anywhere else.
Lift the tank and see what it looks like underneath.
The 2 visible bolts in front of the tank, and the 2 visible bolts holding the driver seat on, one per side, remove them and lift the front of the tank, it is on a hinged mount at the rear.
There should also be a silver prop rod under the rear seat.

There are easy ways to see if it fell over and I can see it doesn't seem to have fallen over on the side you are showing...the peg feelers, bar ends, brake lever end and exhaust can all look untouched...
If the other side looks the same, you are probably GTG.
