Blast from the past – Motorcycle Pictures 8 – Suzuki Hayabusa

Blast from the past – Once again I can only approximate that these pictures where originally posted some time before 2009. However some POTM winners date to 2003 – again – 2003-2004 must have been a good year! Only the internet archive site could possible give a more precise date – this update: 14.11.2021: These Suzuki Hayabusa pictures where sent in to me to post on the site – before Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook etc.. and the world was nicer place – nostalgia folks. That is how old this website is. I have posted them back here, admittedly where they belong! 

Set 2 : Steve Shelley – Great looking stretched Hayabusa with a big horn – er.. I mean exhaust pipe.
Need I say more !  Worthy joint POTM for October 2004.

Set 3 : Derrick Vianna – Careful modifications has created this lovely Busa.  Even the pose for the photo is great ! Worthy joint POTM for October 2004.  Note customised Myabusa logo ! Excellent !
Here’s what he did : The factory colour is Sonic Silver and Flint Metallic charcoal.  I applied (myself, at home!!) 4 coats of Candy Apple Red over the factory colours, then applied custom chrome decals from Alloutgraphics, then 3 additional coats of clear over everything. The factory 3-spoke wheels were chromed, then the centers were painted Candy Apple red. Chromed exhaust brackets, Corbin seat, chrome L/P windshield top it all off.

Set 4 : Todd Grempel – has done a fantastic job with his bike ! Another set of pics that nearly won the POTM award.  Pics like this make me want to post the full size file so you can check out the details but…

Set 6 : Fantastic pics of Svend’s bike ! According to one of my previous surveys Yellow and Black combo was voted the most desired.  And what do you know ?  Here is a perfect example of why it is so ! I’m thinking of nick naming it the Bumble Bee with attitude ! Winner of POTM Sept 2003

Set 7 : This is AJ’s Hayabusa – It just happens to be a genuine X-1 located in the UK!!  I’m told only 2 are located outside Japan. 1 in Taiwan and this one in the UK. AJ’s bike was tested by the UK based Performance Bikes Mag (UK) earlier this year and recorded a 0-100MPH of 5.44 sec. Fantastic isn’t it !
