Update 20/02/2000 : News this week : The Hayabusa has definitely freed up noticeable over the last few rides. Definitely more willing to rev than previously. Anyway, a few new links that are genuinely interesting. The Hayabusa being compared with a vintage bike and modified Hayabusa being compared. Hayabusa vs. Vincent HRD Black Shadow and Comparison between racing Hayabusas.

The AZAROs are performing really well. They are definitely gripper and more stable then the BT56S. Steep leaning angles come naturally. I now feel that the center stand is in danger of scraping. These tyre are definitely the best ones I’ve fitted ever. I don’t think these tyres will square off any time soon ! I can definitely recommend these tyres, although I don’t know how they would handle heavy handed riding ?? Stay tuned.

The finish on the Hayabusa is standing up to the relatively harsh climate pretty well. No signs of rust or paint flaking on any part of the bike. Fairing is still shiny and all rubber bits still black !
