A friend of mine got the new BMW S1000RR for a day to test ride it, we went out around 10am Friday and enjoyed the usual Friday morning ride …then we meet up with some friends for coffee, one had a Hayabusa and the other had a GSX-R 1000, of-course the usual debate starts and we end up racing the BMW against the Hayabusa and its little brother the GSX-R1000.
I’ll leave you with a couple of videos… Read more

A couple of my friends are hard core Hayabusa fans, they have ridden almost all kind of bikes but they swear by the Hayabusa, the other day we were having coffee at TriStar and they were asking me about my K1300R and if it really performs like a 1300cc machine..they were like: we know it has good breaks and traction -a couple of things the Haybusa lacks- but is it as fast as Busa ?
My answer was: yes it is very powerful but it can’t compete with thr Hayabusa when it comes to top end speed becuase its a naked bike and lacks the wind tunnel aerodynamics the Busa has….we had a long debate then decided to put both machines to the test, so we went to a place were we can test them, we did a couple of test runs then 2 final runs to crown a winner.

The Middleweight Champion
I had some work at next to the Suzuki showroom today, so i dropped by to see if they had anything interesting.
They had the 09 600GSXR, it is pretty much the same as the 08 model which was the number one selling bike in the US, the bike has the Drive Mode Selector system which enables fuel injection mapping to be changed at the touch of a button, but it is lacking the ABS breaks the 09 Honda 600RR has.
They also had one 09 blackgold Busa which was not on display !!!

A glimpse of things to come
Suzuki Biplane concept bike is aircraft-inspired with the intent to give the rider the same feeling as being in an open cockpit airplane, i could not find any more info about the bike other than its powered by a V4 engine.
