It's the new Fireblade. This thing is awesome. It would be a hell of a lot of fun, this newest one. The older ones were a bit brutal, though this one will be nice.
And it comes at a price to make the rivals cry!
I'll have it in the colours seen above.

Never mind the Hayabusa, it's just another of those overweight big bore things, going for best power, but, sadly, adding precious more kilograms too.
I've seen them in racing, against the smaller bikes, like Yamaha YZF-R1, and the Fireblades. They go well on the straights, but are not as good under brakes, and slower through the corners.
And sadly, for Suzuki, racetracks don't run completely straight.
The GSX-1300R is awesome though, but in a different way. It's like the CBR-1100XX Honda, for instance. I doubt the Hayabusa would be much of a threat, unless it was a race down an autobahn, or something.

If I were to buy anything other than another Harley, I would probably buy a Ducati 996. Solid 118 bhp at the wheel.
Sorry, need to also mention the fact that I may never get the urge to buy a crotch rocket...

i'd take a crotch rocket over a hog any day. you wanna know why? 1. Faster. 2. Look better 3. What else can cut 0-60 in 2.5 seconds? whats with everyone dissing japanese cars? yes there is quite a few wankstaz ruining the game for us with flambouyant body kits and 4inch exaust, but it is a few of us with properly tuned cars that can take your american cars
Well those Propely tubned cars woud get wasted by ne decent Holden V8 or Ford v8 even in Aus! And unless u spend 100 grand then u don't have a chance of losing but a Commodore V8 with 100 grand invested in it would have a much better exterior package and interior and the enigne would have more then 600hp just n/a with a supercharger even more!

you can keep takin nonsence, but till u take a trip to tha good ol' U.S.A. and race some of these properly tuned cars that could supposedly "get wasted by a holden", it would probably be wise to not say anything. i could get a 170 bhp Kawasaki ninja for 12000 greenbacks and blow past all your holdens, the street legal ones.
i dare you to roll up in LA, ST. Louis, NYC, or any town for that matter and see whose got the fastest car. i've got my money on that twin turbo civic here in little ol havelock north carolina. or that 9 second pinto owned by my friend isaac, or my friends supra twin turbo. this town is so small its not even on the map, but it's still got more street cars that u can shake a stick at.
Well http://www.calaisturbo.com has most of the best TURBO Holdens and the V8 ones are just as fast but newer bodys. also www.commodoreclub.net has holdens but not over the top ones and www.streetcommodores.com.au is a website for the Magazine of the same name which I man subscribed to.
Besides if I went to america I would come in a old 57' Chev 150 with a cdecent engine under the bonnet and excelent paint and smoke everyone! www.fat57.com i think.

lets not get hasty with the bragging just yet, there are some pretty fast muscle cars over here along with the imports that could cause you some trouble.:D im not doubting your commodore, im just sayin. i think commodores are hot. i like watching the V8 supercar races on speed cause the commodores almost always murder the falcons.
Well they used to last year but nowq Holden is stuck with Fords suspension and they can't develop it enough and because of that Ford will probably take out this year Bathurst sadly.
But ur not as bad as some1 at skool who only likes skylines and I showedhim a pic of a nice Holden and he said wheres the bodykit and spioler and rims? ANd it had the SS bodkykit on without the spioler, and some international rims I'll get a pic.
Ne way he only liked skylines and was saying everythign about them and I am fairly open minded as far as technical sense and I admitted that skylines were ok but he was talking about the ones with N/A RB20's and the wild bodykits and huge exausts And the GTR I respect but the others of them I don't.

you tell him that i, an american, said that the bodykits and spoilers dont make tha car, it the cylinders and turbos you can squezze in there. make sure you tell him how much i love japanese cars and skyline R34 GT-R VspecII.
it's no use fo huge exhausts if you've got tha RB20DE, a single 2.75 or 3in will do good. i mean, if you get a skyline, might as well get the best one if you want to have tha fast car with boykits and huge exhausts. you really dont need ig exhausts on the RB20 cause itz only 4cyl. 2 litres of displace ment and its not turbo charged, so its not a lot of pressure in the engine that needs to be relivied unlike a RB26DETT, where its a twin turbo inline six monster that has 2.6litres of displacement, and it needs the 90mm exhaust to get rid of the pressure. and the skyline gtr dont look to bad with a cwest airdam and side skirts and a veilside rear valance. i guess if you cant afford a gtr, you could buy the regular skyline 2dr and just do a engine swap to a RB26DETT. id would be tight to get a Skyline 4dr and drop a RB26DETT and tune it. noone would see that one coming.
