Suzuki Hayabusa
When we speak about iconic bikes there is no chance of leaving the Hayabusa aside, so certainly it has to be present here today as well. Named after a Japanese falcon, the name Hayabusa was chosen not for the speedy characteristics of the bird, but due to the fact that the falcon often preys on Blackbirds.
It was an indirect way of telling Honda, that the Hayabusa is after their CBR1100XX Super Blackbird to displace it from the fastest bike tag.
The Busa did just that and more by winning critical acclaim for breaking the 300 kmph barrier, when it made its first public appearance in 1999. If you want to have a bird's eye view of the roads, we recommend you get one, as Suzuki is officially selling them for Rs 12.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
