Anyone have the February issue of FHM? It has a pretty mean custom Hayabusa. Nice three wheels too though it's not a trike. Trying to find pictures but so far nuthin.


Quote FHM
Despite it's girly colour scheme, this souped-up 2003 suzuki GSXR 1300 Hayabusa is tastier than a Mr. Whippy van. Stripped down and reconfigured, owner Nick Dagostino and his mates polished the chassis, slotted in a new rear fender and modified it to fit the newly fabricated rear-end exstenison. With the front end lowered 76 millimetres, they chucked on the third wheel to prevent the 120 kilowatt beast from flipping at the front like an excited Chihuahua. The lenght and flex of the extended arm keeps it stuck to the road like cat poop to a carpet. To top it off, a five-inch LCD screen was slotted into the modified fuel tank. The flat screen colour telly shows images from the pinhole video camera in the rear - so goodbye to rear vision mirrors and hello to the posibility if DVD and TV aerial add-ons. The down side to the three-wheeler? Absolutly none; with a three person capacity and top speed of 315km/h, you can get two birds home quiker they can say menage-a-trois

It was awful.

The obviously-compensating-for-something owner had some nasty gyno going on, too, as I recall. Shudder.

Yea I thought it was something like that. Just saw it and thought it was interesting but useless. Would be cool as a show bike that got trailered everywhere though.

One of the fastest is powered by a 'Busa motor, super charged i think.?

yeah, I saw that too.. looked a bit nutty to say the least, but don't know if it's my cuppa.. Guess it shows there's not a lot you can't do.
Did you see the huge truck converted to a ute in there? Now that's a 4x4..
