Okay, this is pretty wacked, it makes me very surprised that Suzuki chose "Hayabusa" as the nickname for the GSX-1300R.
I think everyone seems to know Hayabusa is the Japanese translation of Peregrine Falcon.
However what never gets mentioned is there was a previous Japanese vehicle with the nickname Hayabusa...
The Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa...
Doesn't sound familar? That's cause the US Navy used the codename Oscar to describe these. They killed quite a few Americans.
I've known about the Oscar for a long time but I didn't know it's real name till I saw one a couple weeks ago.
