The original Hayabusa arrived in 1999 as a radical, wind-tunnel-shaped machine built to be the fastest production motorcycle, taking the title from Honda's Super Blackbird. Its 1298 cc four, aluminium twin-spar frame and bulbous aerodynamic bodywork made it an instant icon, though the styling divided opinion.
