Highlights

• The 1999 Hayabusa was the fastest standard production bike 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 is the only year of the "unrestricted" Hayabusa and one of two years with the aluminum subframe
• Starting in 2000 Japanese and European manufactures electronically limited 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 of 2007 over 100,000 were sold worldwide, none being more precious than the few thousand unrestricted units
