Hayabusa - Promo vid Gen 1

[Volvi]

bla bla, my zx12 is faster, bla bla my gen 2 is bigger better and faster, my bmw is bla bla and bla bla.

The fact is that the '99 and copper (for media) was and still is the benchmark by which all other US (ultra-sport) bikes were compared to. In '99 there was only 1 (The Mothership), just coz later bikes can add didnt make the '99 not the first and best of its time. and as far as Im concerned still better then most later editions, coz when they finally got off the drawing board after years of development they produced the finest and fastest they could. Later models had to be "toned down" and be more politically correct, but not the '99 and thats why they are "Beasts" compared to later models. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
