    You may be right, I do not know about other models - I think you are in the motorcycle business so perhaps you know these things.

    Our local Suzuki dealership is very small but they have already sold a Hayabusa - someone is trading in their Gen 2 for it. So hopefully I will see it at local bike meetings as we are out of lockdown now.

    I was in Crescent Suzuki yesterday and I think the salesman said they had sold 15 or 16 so far.

    Really like the 2022 in white - and according to the special offer sticker you get a free bit of carpet with Suzuki written on it if you buy one now :eek:

    OOOOHHHHH - look away look away :D

    I wasn’t really ever into hayabusa’s and then a few weeks ago this came up for sale and I couldn’t say no.

    I’ve been going through it and serviced everything as it stood for five years in a collection.

    That looks a bit special - what is the story behind it being in a collection ?

    Yoshimura built the hayabusa x1 for the suzuka endurance race and then sold one hundred replicas to the public, a german guy wanted one but couldn't get one so he approached kainzinger tuning in germany to build a replica for him, this is what they built but to a higher spec, it's 1400cc with pankl to rods, lightened balanced and nitrided crank, cosworth pistons, yoshi cams, ported heads, full yoshi ti system, ohlins forks/shock, spiegler discs and nissin wsb calipers, marchesini magnesium wheels, yoshimura x1 bodywork and 24ltr fuel tank and road legal, its 198bhp with 111 lbs ft of torque, it sat in a few collections for years and the last was for 6 years. i bought it through silverstone auctions a few weeks ago and i have been going through it and servicing everything, it's all done now and just needs insuring.

    They’re seriously rare now, you can get used radial from a guy on Facebook called Ryan.
