Suzuki Hayabusa
The
symbol itself is called a Kanji (Japanese) The writing on the fairing is called
hayato or hayabusa. Regardless of the pronunciation the meaning of the symbol
means strong and fast.
Based on many sources I have
ascertained the following historical information about the Hayabusa. The name
as you may have not heard comes from the Japanese Peregrine falcon. It is one
of the few animals which can travel at about 300km per hour (in a dive). The
designer apparently came up with the name while walking along the beach and
seeing this bird. The colour scheme of gold/bronze and silver are similar to
those of the falcon its self.
Believe of not - it is said that this falcon
often hunts actual Blackbirds.
Logical Competitors at the time of
launch (1999) included :
Kawasaki ZZR-1100 (ZX11) | Honda
Blackbird CBR1100XX | BMW K1200 | ZX-12R
The Hayabusa is classified as a
sports tourer and not a sports bike in the vein of the Fireblade, R1 and the like.
Note that Suzuki promotes the bike
as the Ultimate Sports Machine.
