A more difficult choice was that of my favorite motorcycle. Until recently I would have chosen the Harley-Davidson Sportster that had stood in my garage for almost 10 years. However, that changed last week when a friend bought a new Suzuki Hayabusa. It was, as I found out, extremely fast. My friend let me test it, even though I wasn’t used to riding such a fast motorcycle, and I was amazed to discover how well it performed.
