Suzuki "BlackBusa"

Just watched the latest Top Gear, heard Jeremy Clarkson referring to Richard Hammonds Hyabusa as a "Suzuki BlackBusa Thing" Just rather tickled me...

Just an interesting random fact for you here (it's another one of those 'pub facts' so it might not be all that factual, but either way, it's quite funny!) As we all know, Suzuki brought out the Busa purely to beat Honda's Blackbird and take the Fastest Production Bike title. Which of course it did. Well the name Hyabusa is quite interesting. It is apparently a Japanese bird of prey whose staple diet consists mainly of blackbirds! This is also, apparently, purely a coincidence!
