Highlights

• The 1999/2000 Hayabusa was the fastest standard production motorcycle of the 20th century
• It's zero to 60 in 2.76 seconds, zero to 100 in 5.3 seconds, and 1/4 mile in 9.84 seconds @ 146 mph is legendary
• The 1999 and early 2000's are "unrestricted" and were the only two years with the aluminum subframe
• Starting in mid 2000, Japanese and European manufactures electronically limited the top speeds of their motorcycles to 186 mph
• The aerodynamic shape was the key to the Hayabusa's ability to reach into the 190's mph
• From 1999 until June 2007 over 100,000 were sold worldwide, none being more precious than the few thousand unrestricted units
