If more push-bikers respected the rules of the road then perhaps we would have more respect for their views. I ride in London every day and the number of pedallists who ignore red lights is shocking. I wouldn’t mind if…

Suzuki is claiming a 12% increase in power, which will probably out-power the current class champion Kawasaki ZX-14. Cool stuff inside include titanium valves, shot-peened chromoly connecting rods, a shallower combustion chamber angle and a compression ratio bumped to a high 12.5:1 (from 11.0:1). This should make the big ’Bus more than ready to rumble against Kawasaki’s ballistic upstart ZX-14. As with the 2007 GSX-R1000, the ’Hayabusa sports a rider-adjustable power mode selector. Three positions are available: fast; way fast; and oh-my-god fast. A slipper clutch is a new addition. Size-wise, the rejuvenated Hayabusa adds a couple of inches of length even though the wheelbase remains at 58.5 inches. Its 485-pound claimed dry weight is up 7 over the previous version. Seat height remains at a reasonable 31.7 inches, but the passenger perch is now a bit lower than before. A new inverted fork holds radial-mount brake calipers and 310mm rotors.
