2000 Suzuki Hayabusa, very low miles . Never laid down, very fast, near mint condition, you won't see many 2000's this nice. There are a few scratches. This is a nice of a driver as you will find. This is the unrestricted model that is very very fast, it has small performance upgrades, such as full 2 brothers racing exhaust and power commander 2, this is a very fast bike. This is a very nice example of a 2000 Hayabusa, and should be good for the 200 mph top end, as the stock speed was 194. It has not been ridden hard and never laid down. When first shown to the press in 1999, the first Hayabusas made a profound impression.[5] No previous motorcycle has broken the production model top speed record by such a margin, 10 to 14 mph (16 to 23 km/h), depending on which measured speeds the source was relying on for the CBR1100XX and the GSX-1300R.[4][27] The first generation had a 1,299 cc (79.3 cu in) liquid-cooled, inline-4 engine with sixteen valves driven by double-overhead cams. This configuration, technologically unremarkable for that time, delivered a record-setting claimed 173 brake horsepower (129 kW) at the crankshaft by virtue of the largest displacement ever in a sport bike, and a ram air system that forced cool, pressurized air into the cylinders at speed.[4][27] Combined with sophisticated aerodynamics, this powerful engine pushed the Hayabusa's top speed far above the Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird by a significant leap, contrasting with the incremental gains that preceded the Suzuki hyper sport entry. The 1997 carbureted CBR1100XX had previously only inched past the previous top speed record holder, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11 of 1990.[5] A remarkable feature of the Hayabusa engine was its abundance of power throughout its entire rpm band. The 1,299 cc powerplant was the largest and most powerful sport bike engine when introduced in 1999, and remained the largest until Kawasaki's ZX14 was released. The Hayabusa's abundance of power at any engine speed made the Hayabusa easier to ride by giving the rider a greater choice of gear selection for a given speed and stunning acceleration.[27] The ram air ducts at the front of the drooping, rounded nose squeezed frontal area away from the headlight, and this, along with the need for a narrow frontal area, necessitated a stacked headlight and high beam behind a single lens. Moreover, the need to reduce the extreme drag encountered at high speeds determined the Hayabusa's entire bulbous, and much-criticized, bodywork design. Koblenz remarked, "non-traditional styling generates the main controversy of the Hayabusa."[27] When viewed through the eyes of those who judged its beauty on the basis of its functionality, or given a little time to get used to it, the bike's looks did find admirers.[27][30] The striking two-tone copper/silver paint scheme was similarly loved by some and hated by others, but was successful if the intent of an all-new, flagship product is to make a bold statement.[27] So while it was called ugly by some in the press,[21][26][31] this aerodynamic shape was key to the Hayabusa's ability to reach record-setting speeds.[4] The side of the bodywork of a sport motorcycle with the legend Hayabusa superimposed on a Japanese character ?.

Reflecting in 2009 on the initial design, the creator of the Hayabusa's look, Suzuki's Koji Yoshirua, said that the intent in 1999 was, "to create a somewhat grotesque design and create a strong initial impact... The mission was to create a total new styling that will not be out of date within few years, and a styling that will be the 'Face' of Suzuki." Yoshirua also said that the goal was not to achieve the status of fastest production motorcycle, which in early stages was slated to be only 900 to 1,100 cc (55 to 67 cu in), but that, "as a consequence of, pursuing the best handling, acceleration, safety, power, riding ability, original styling, etc., for the good of the customers, it became the 'Fastest production motorcycle' . . . By doing this, once the model was out in the market and the performance of it have been proven, I thought that people will start to show interest to the weird design, and then the design would be caked in peoples mind."[32] The engine used a gear-driven counterbalancer to reduce vibration to the point that the engine could be solidly mounted to the frame, for the purpose of increasing chassis rigidity. Employing a conventional twin beam frame, fully adjustable upside down forks, using specially developed Bridgestone tires, and being relatively light at 473 pounds (215 kg) dry, the Hayabusa's handling was considered excellent for a machine of this class.[4] One reviewer, Koblenz, noted a hesitation perhaps related to poor low-rpm mapping at low speeds, noticeable as a "pause and slight lurch" when rolling on and back off the throttle.[27] Minor low speed FI revisions were addressed[clarification needed] with either a "Yosh Box" or "Teka SFI" FI adjusting tool.[citation needed] Top speed limited by agreement [edit] Main article: List of fastest production motorcycles#Gentlemen's agreement to end competition With rumors and then pre-release announcements of much greater power in Kawasaki's Ninja ZX-12R in 2000, clearly attempting to unseat Suzuki and regain lucrative bragging rights, the speed war appeared to be escalating. There were growing fears of carnage and mayhem from motorcycles getting outrageously faster every year, and there was talk of regulating hyper sport motorcycles, or banning their import to Europe.[9][15][17][20] The response was a so-called gentlemen's agreement between the Japanese and European manufacturers to electronically limit the speed of their motorcycles to 300 km/h (186 mph).[4][33] The informal agreement went fully into effect for the 2001 model year.[2][3] So for 2001[2][3] models, and those since, the question of which bike was fastest could only be answered by tampering with the speed limiting system, meaning that it was no longer a contest between stock, production motorcycles, absolving the manufacturer of blame and letting those not quite as fast avoid losing face.[19] Both Kawasaki and Suzuki would claim, at least technically, to have the world's fastest production motorcycle.[citation needed] Other developments [edit] After the inclusion of the speed limiting system in 2001,[2][3] the Hayabusa remained substantially the same through the 2007 model year. An exception was a response to the problem of the aluminum rear subframe on 1999 and 2000 models breaking when the bike may have been overloaded with a passenger and luggage, and/or stressed by an aftermarket exhaust modification, so 2001 and later Hayabusas had a steel instead of aluminum rear subframe, adding 10 lb (4.5 kg) to the 1999 and 2000 models' approximately 550 pounds (249 kg) wet weight.[34] Performance and measurements [edit] Power Torque Weight Tested by 155.9 hp (116 kW) hp @ 9,700 rpm 95.5 lb·ft (129.5 N·m) @ 8,000 rpm 1999--2000: 249.48 kg (550 lb) 2001--2007: 254.01--255.3 kg (560--563 lb)(wet) Motorcyclist[34][35] 151.1 hp (112.7 kW) @ 9,500 rpm 93.4 lb·ft (126.6 N·m) @ 7,000 rpm 550 lb (250 kg)(wet) Motorcycle Consumer News '99[27] 156.6 hp (116.8 kW) @ 9,500 rpm 99.6 lb·ft (135.0 N·m) @ 6,750 rpm 515 lb (234 kg) (dry) Sport Rider '99[29] 525 lb (238 kg)(dry) 560 lb (250 kg)(wet) Sport Rider '01[29] 162.6 hp (121.3 kW) @ 9,750 rpm 97.4 lb·ft (132.1 N·m) @ 7,000 rpm 533 lb (242 kg)(dry) 563 lb (255 kg)(wet) Sport Rider '05[29] 1999--2007 model year performance ¼ mile (402 m) 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) 0 to 100 mph (0 to 160 km/h) Top Speed Tested by 10.4 seconds 190 mph (310 km/h) Motorcycle News[36] 9.86 seconds @ 146 mph (235 km/h) 194 mph (312 km/h) Cycle World[5] 9.97 seconds @ 144.8 mph (233.0 km/h) 189.6 mph (305.1 km/h) Sport Rider 8/99, 12/99 [37] 9.84 seconds @ 142.76 mph (229.75 km/h) 2.76 seconds 5.30 seconds 188 mph (303 km/h) Motorcycle Consumer News 6/99[27] 186 mph (299 km/h) Cycle World[5] 10.277 seconds @ 137.9 mph (221.9 km/h) Motorcyclist[38] 9.89 seconds @ 143.55 mph (231.02 km/h) 2.47 seconds 184 mph (296 km/h) Cycle World Magazine 06/02 10.237 seconds @ 140.54 mph (226.18 km/h) 183.9 mph (296.0 km/h) Sport Rider 10/02[37] 10.02 seconds @ 143.5 mph (230.9 km/h) Sport Rider 10/05[37]
