      So true. it may be the best in class. but its looks simply don't appeal to everyone. But good or bad that bike sure looks different and catches a lot of attention. Performance wise, it's the best.

        Yeah and one look at the souped up example in 'Biker Boyz' or the many 'turbo busas' on You Tube and you start thinking, "Dude, I need to get myself a 'Busa!"

            Bikes like Hayabusa or 08 CBR1000 are really special, even in looks.

            Some may call them ugly, but in reality they are ... (well, can't find the words ....) maybe Classic, unique, or something like that.

                but it was the ugly design that gave importance to function than form. Hence the stability and the top speed the bike was capable of.

                        The beauty of Hyabausa is in its power, acceleration, and handling. If you keep these aside, it is not a looker.

                              Who cares about its looks?? Its not there with a purpose to walk on the ramps, its there to scream on the road and make all its competitors eat dust!!!
                              Thank God Atleast designer like Koji thought unconventionally, or else we wouldnt not have had this monster of a hyperbike!! Kudos to him!!
