SUZUKI GSX-1300R
The new design of Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa is to completely redefine sporting expectations. The Hayabusa pushes the envelope so far that Suzuki doesn't refer to the bike as a sport bike, nor as a super sport bike, but as an "ultimate sport bike." I guess that's called Hayabusa hyperbole. As you may have heard, Hayabusa is the name of a small Japanese falcon that has the ability to fly really, really fast. Reportedly at speeds up to 186 mph.The GSX1300R was designed to be the fastest sport bike on the market and Suzuki hopes that the Hayabusa will be able to conquer the previous top speed records set by all other production motorcycles. To that end the GSX1300R not only has a giant power plant of 1298cc but also an aerodynamically designed profile.
The GSX1300R's wind-cheating shape was achieved by stacking the headlights and pulling the blinkers into the bike's upper, locating them on the outboard sides of the ram air intakes. By doing this Suzuki was able to achieve the lowest coefficient of drag ever found on one of their motorcycles. The placement of the turn signals is also claimed to help force air into the ram-air intake tracts which have been placed near the point of maximum air pressure.
