The 500hp – well, 499, but who’s counting -- turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa made famous by Sweden’s No.1 traffic outlaw, Ghost Rider, is now being sold through a website lottery.
Ghost Rider, decked out in black leathers and helmet, as well as a dark visor, first shot to fame in 2002 as he embarked upon a series of heinous traffic violations across the Swedish freeway system, complete with a ridiculous amount of police baiting.
He began his law-breaking spree on a GSX-R1000 before upscaling – as you do when speed is your raison d’être -- to the Hayabusa, which even in humble stock form was capable of 320km/h – well a least in the early models before they were reined back in to a governed top speed of 300km/h.
And when you add turbocharging to the muscle mix, you kind of get some idea about the tools of trade Ghost Rider had to work with. And a quick YouTube search will give you some idea of what we’re talking about.
