John Noonan took his Suzuki Hayabusa to a new speed record for a non-streamliner motorcycle of 259.393mph. Non streamliner means just that, John was sitting out there like the rest of us instead of being wrapped inside a two wheel tube. The Hayabusa displaced 1350cc and was running a supercharger. John set the record on Wednesday at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Nice run, John.
Correction: That Busa is running a turbo, not a supercharger, our commenter was kind enough to point out. Thanks!
