Now that a new model is available the main
question I get asked is: Which year model Hayabusa should I get?
The choice between 1999-2007 (1st Generation)
and September 2007 (2008 or 2nd Generation) is simple really, get the 2008 IF:
- you are unconcerned about genuine
300KPH+ showroom floor potential. 2007 models can be made to break 300kph by the
installation of a TRE (Timing Retard Eliminator). There are plenty of TRE's out
there.
- you like the revised design and want the latest motorcycle.
- you are NOT concerned about what reviewers will enviably say.
If your considering a used or 2nd hand
Hayabusa made between 1999 and 2007 ignoring the condition of the one you are
looking at:
- 1999 to 2000: genuine 300kph motorcycle.
- 2003 to 2007: you want the revised ECU.
- 2003 to 2007: perceived reliability improvements.
- 2005 to 2007: you want the revised logo and revised lighting.
- Any other year: you like the colour scheme.
