FOUND: What happens when you hit hell s gate on a hayabusa | Mind Blowing Facts

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Suzuki Hayabusas are awfully good at drag strips. When new, this straight-line speed machine made about 195 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and 114.3 pound-feet of torque at 7,200 rpm. Like the generation before it, as well as those that have come after, it meant business.
