KAWABUSA!! (pics)

check this thing out...its pretty sweet.. its a ZRX1300 frame, hayabusa motor, busa swing arm, gix1k tail, and a bunch of different stuff from other bikes... this guy built it all himself and ill tell you one thing, this guy was good..every piece on this bike looks like ducati or someone made it.. i looked it over really good and theres not 1 imperfection... no hacking, no gaps etc..

if you didnt know, the busa air box is above the tank like on our TL's...the ZRX isnt.. so he made custom intake manifolds and everything.. plus the ZRX is a dual shock bike, he converted it to a mono shock....

this bike must do insane wheelies.. the ZRX isnt too heavy of a chassis ...


i saw it in Daytona...he had a girl there on a zx6 too with a bunch of custom stuff.. hes an australian..super cool dude mate!

this is off the suzuki website (US):

"2007 HayabusaTM 1300


As they say, it ain't bragging if it's true. So when we claim that the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R is the fastest production bike on the planet, we're merely stating the facts. It is, pure and simple, an engineering masterpiece that turns advanced technology and aerodynamic design into unmatched performance."

Of course now with the MV312 I don't think it is the fastest production bike... lol...
