Default Hayabusa

I knew we had a bike thing here, and just wanted to share this pic of this LRG hayabusa I found today. I like.

saw it on motorcycledaily.com and loving it, I wish suzuki hayabusa rear end like that instead of looking all round. The back end and tank look like it came from a GSX, if only that come standard instead.

the 'bubbliness' of the hayabusa was due to aerodynamics. That tail from a k6-k7 GSXR is not as aero. as the busa's. Sacrificing performance for looks seems like a tradition on s2ki.

Oh yeah, such a performance loss..... Have you ridden a Busa or a GSXR 1K? Whatever aerodynamic loss there is, if any, is so irrelevant its not even funny. Or maybe, I didnt catch the sarcasm.

Bikes are as aerodynamic as a semi. I don't think anyone who is not extremely talented would be able to tell the difference in performance, anyway. It's a Busa.

Anyway, that bike looks nice.

To make your bike more aerodynamic, ensure that the seat is clear of any obstructions. You should be able to see every inch of the seat covering material. You'd be amazed at what this simple step can do for the aerodynamics of a motorcycle.

Lol screw aerodynamic, it a freakin bike not a truck. I'll take that tail end and tank over aerodynamic any day, but that just me.

Look to be clear. There's that little reflection you can see. Anyways I thought the biked looked nice so I posted it on here. I'm not much of a a bike person. I would love to learn how to ride sometime tho. I've been in love w/ busas for awhile but they're too big for me.
