What was the first year for the Hayabusa? I thought it was 99, my buddie says 97-98. Now Im second guessing myself. Can anyone say for sure?

99
I think they still had a version of the old 1100 in 98 http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Must be a rumour floating somewhere online, because I'd always believed it was 99, but a friend who just picked one up recently ('05) said they started making them in 98... First I'd heard. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I think they did some sort of show on them in 98.. but released them in 99 (in the states at least)

Well not exactly true....... several things inside the bike have changed (fuel pump & filter, cam chain tensioner, and a bunch of little things that have helped).

Big change due for 06.....
