Suzuki Hayabusa custom Hayabusa Turbo Motorcycles

The Suzuki Hayabusa (or GSX1300R) is a hyper sport motorcycle made by Suzuki since 1999. It immediately won acclaim as the world's fastest production motorcycle, with a top speed of 188–194 miles per hour (303–312 km/h), surpassing the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird by at least a full 10 miles per hour (16 km/h). After the much-anticipated Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R of 2000 fell 4 mph (6 km/h) short of claiming the title because of being speed-restricted, the Hayabusa secured its place as the fastest standard production bike of the 20th century.

In 2000, fears of a European regulatory backlash or import ban led to an informal agreement between the Japanese and European manufacturers to govern the top speed of their motorcycles at an arbitrary limit, allowing the Hayabusa's title to remain, at least technically, unassailable, since no subsequent model could go faster without being tampered with. Model year 2000 and later Hayabusas, as well as their competition, are electronically limited to 300 kilometres per hour (186 mph), giving the unrestricted, 190-mph 1999 models even more cachet with collectors.

Motorcycle speed tests, especially at high speeds, are prone to variation due to human error, limitations in equipment, and atmospheric factors like wind, humidity, and altitude. The published results of two otherwise identical tests could vary depending on whether the result is reported with or without industry standard correction factors calculated to compensate for test conditions. Rounding errors are possible as well when converting to/from miles and kilometers per hour. Media-reported values for the speed agreement in miles per hour were consistently 186 mph, while in kilometers per hour they varied from 299 to 303 km/h, which is typical given unit conversion rounding errors. Reported numbers for horsepower and torque will inevitably vary for similar reasons.

Besides its speed, the Hayabusa has been lauded by many reviewers for its all-around performance, in that it does not drastically compromise other qualities like handling, comfort, reliability, noise, fuel economy or price in pursuit of a single function.Jay Koblenz of Motorcycle Consumer News commented, "If you think the ability of a motorcycle to approach 190 mph or reach the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds is at best frivolous and at worst offensive, this still remains a motorcycle worthy of just consideration. The Hayabusa is Speed in all its glory. But Speed is not all the Hayabusa is.

segway scooter

The Segway Scooter has always been a beautiful vehicle design that was just fun to look at. Even before its growing popularity, you cannot deny the desire you had to ride a Segway Scooter when you encountered one on the street, saw it on TV, or heard about it from friends. We may try to resist its beauty or geeky factor, but the Segway has stolen our hearts and is slowly increasing its use.

What is it that makes us long for the Segway Scooter? Is it looks alone? is it the portability? is it the wonderful Segway Tours that sometimes pass us on the streets? or is it just because it is different? Whatever the reason truly is, in the end, Segway is a really cool vehicle that I would love to have.

The following is a list of 11 Really Cool Segway Scooter Concepts and Designs created for a brand, as a project or has been modified from one form to another.

So next time you run across another Segway Tour or actually get a chance to ride one, which new Segway Scooter design or concept would you pick?

gas scooters

Gas Scooters:
This type can usually be compared by engine size, drive system, tires, and cost. The advantage of this type is the ability to deliver greater speed, and power to get up a higher incline. We do not carry parts to modify the power of these engines as we feel to do so may present unknown dangers for the user. These were made and tested by the factory with a stock motor and modifying the engine in anyway may result in unknown and dangerous results, so we do not encourage this. Our basic gas model is a very nice, solid unit and priced very affordablly. Please be aware of the tire sizes and purchase according to your expected terrain. Be aware some cheaper models have a direct drive system, THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS. The direct drive means the motor wants to keep going when you wish to stop. Our design utilizes a chain drive centrifugal clutch system. What this means is the tire does not turn until the motor has reached a certain RPM. While standing still our vehicle does not try to move forward. Direct drive systems will want to keep going forward and this could be dangerous in a busy intersection.
