A stock Hayabusa (with a professional rider) will run a 10 second quarter mile with trap speeds approaching 135 mph. Many top speed enthusiasts modify the motorcycle with [[turbocharger]]s, and turbocharged Hayabusas hold many top speed records, including the FIM 1350cc world record of 252.832 mph (406.894 km/h). This is the fastest timed average (two way) anywhere in the world for an open wheel motorcycle, and the fastest [[AMA]] US record for an open wheel bike. During the record pass the onboard GPS recorded 261 mph (420 km/h) as a top measured speed.

The name '''Hayabusa''' comes from the Japanese name for the [[Peregrine Falcon]], known for its speed. Many also consider it something of a joke at the expense of the [[Honda]] [[CBR1100XX]] '''Super Blackbird''', which was prior to the Hayabusa the fastest production motorcycle: the Peregrine Falcon is a predator of the common blackbird.

Subsequently, bikes were released to challenge the Hayabusa, including the BMW K1200S and the [[Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R|Kawasaki ZX-12R]]. However, due to the voluntarily imposed speed limiters, these models were unable to challenge the original 1999 Hayabusa's claim to the highest production motorcycle top speed in history.
