Suzuki Turbo: Guy Martin and his 830 hp Hayabusa keep the fantasy alive…
Guy Martin is currently having fun riding his Hayabusa of … potentially 830 hp! The former Tourist Trophy rider – brilliantly converted into a TV host – aims for new speed records and supercharges hopes of seeing a Suzuki Turbo land soon…
On June 18 at Elvington airfield (Yorkshire, Great Britain), Guy Martin was clocked at 103.6 mph driving a tractor construction site race … then at 257.727 mph for a standing mile, or 415 km / h after 1609 m on the handlebars of a special Hayabusa (spatial limit) !
Prepared by Jack Frost and his Holeshot Racing workshop, this Suzuki cube still 1340 cc but benefits from supercharging allowing it to quadruple its maximum power: 830 hp, or 230 hp more than in 2016 !
On September 10, during a competition organized by the Straightliners collective, "Martine" and her big motorcycle with a new fairing improved their performance, reaching on the same track n ° 26 of the former RAF base the maddening speed of 436 km / h, always in less than two kilometers…
"Guy was as cool as a cucumber (or Steve McQueen, editor’s note) and as you would expect from the TT legend, he rode the bike at top speed and passed the radar at 270.9 mph, placing it in 2nd place in the world ", specify the Gentils Organisateurs.
The old one – but "Number One" of mechanics shows in Great Britain – does not intend to stop in if right path good track: very close to the 440 km / h mark, Guy wanted to drop that of 300 … mph (483 km / h) last weekend … but impossible to put the mouse on the results: " No news, good news " ?
At the same time, Guy Martin is supercharging within the Site editorial staff – and among fans of the Hamamatsu brand – to discover at the next Eicma show in Milan a Suzuki Turbo, a completely new and innovative motorcycle..
Could the builder – or should he – produce a machine capable of, their different or theirs? Not necessarily … A small sports car derived from the Recursion concept of 2013 or a roadster equipped with the twin "EX7" exhibited in 2015 could find its own place on the market. Or a super sharp Katana, an extravagant scooter, well something what !
