The Suzuki Hayabusa and drag racing go together like heirloom tomatoes and the height of summer. You pretty much can’t have one without the other. Much like taking a bite out of a perfect tomato at the peak of ripeness, the Hayabusa is utterly resplendent on its throne at an awful lot of drag racing events.

That’s the central question posed by this drag racing video, brought to you by the fine folks at British vehicle outlets Bike World and Carwow. For those unfamiliar, Bike World’s Chris Northover is a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, former British Superbike racer—and, of course, an experienced motorcycle journalist.
