Default The Ultimate Ten

Just watched a show on the science channel of all things about the top 10 speed machines ever and the Hyabusa was number 10, Not bad considering it was up against things like the Thrust SSC the SR 71 blackbird etc..... One quote was "In the world of motorcycles its speed would not likey be matched anytime soon" And if the is a repost...... so what.. new to me.

I dunno, I have a feeling Honda has something up their sleeves that will blow the busa away. Like the rummored 1200cc VFR, or 1300XX

Honda will always take things to the next level. Maybe it will give Suzuki an incentive to get the ball rollin with some more innovation.

CBR1100XX was the king till the Busa came out... Also depends how you view fast. Top speed fast or 0-100 or your given mph fast...

haha, compared to Red no. BUt look at the way take over the market with their new products. None of the big 4 have yet to produce a turbo'd jet ski but when Honda finally decided to enter the watercraft market (aside from their 4-stroke outboards which was another feat initself) they did it right by offering the first turbo charged jet ski. It seems as though Yamaha is always there before Honda but when Honda jumps on board they desimate all. Yamaha came out with the YZ400f then the YZ426F, when honda entered the four stroke MX arena they did so with the CR450F which killed everything on the track. OUt of the big 4 I think they also came out with the first mass produced F/I sport bike. When Honda steps there foot in the door they put out some amazing things.
