I think I can sum up my feelings by saying, “OMFG on a stick!” The new 2008 Hayabusa is here, folks!

For those who don’t realize the power of the ‘Busa, imagine 198 horses pushing a 495 lbs frame! That translates to something like, “OMFG THIS IS WAY TOO FAST I THINK MY FACE WAS RIPPED OFF!” I’ve never had the pleasure of twisting the throttle on one of these two-wheeled rockets, but I’ve been in the saddle a few times, and I must say I was amazed at how light these bikes are! They didn’t feel much heavier than my Gix750 — mostly because they aren’t! Then you think about how the ‘Busa has almost twice the power of my bike. That’s just ridiculousness wrapped in a box made of insanity!

Just looking at this bike gets my adrenaline pumping! I have to have one of these beasts before I hit 35 years old. Who knows, might be more comfortable for Heidi to ride with me. It’s adamn shame you usually can’t convince dealerships to let you go on a test ride… I’d love a sample of what that thing can do! And for only $12k, you can’t really beat that price! Another homerun by Suzuki perhaps? Can’t wait to read the reviews!
