Overkill
By JackBlack(Enthusiast), Aug. 26, 2008
This bike is way too fast for the street, and its not very nimble for the track. So unless you're going to be doing a lot of drag racing, or highway racing, which are both extremely dangerous, then its not really the best bike at all. My take on the Hayabusa: looks cool, sounds cool to your fri...
