Funny!!!
Just to give credit where credit is due, I copied this from "Biketalk".  -ZXtra
The marketing division of Suzuki Motorcycles, Inc., today announced it has dropped plans to replace its GSX1300R "Hayabusa" motorcycle with a relabeled Honda CBR1100XX "Super Blackbird." Due to numerous recalls and
failures, Suzuki engineers had suggested recalling the entire Hayabusa line and replacing them with the reliable CBR1100XX.
However, through polls and rider feedback groups, the marketing division learned that most buyers of Suzuki motorcycles don't expect them to run all the time. They appreciate the intimate relationships they develop with
their dealer's service personnel and a multitude of tow truck operators. Further, the excitement of not knowing whether your motorcycle will make it back home or catch fire instead was a lure these daredevils could not do without.
"Those wimps on Honda motorcycles have never had to decide whether third-degree burns to one's crotch or bailing off a still-moving motorcycle would be the least-painful solution." Other Hayabusa riders commented that if their motorcycles started every day, the costs of maintenance would skyrocket. "Those Blackbird owners are always complaining about oil changes every other month, tires every three months, and a chain every year. Having a motorcycle you can ride any time has a high cost, which we
have been saved from. Suzuki really has our best interests in mind."
Also weighing in against the proposal was T-shirt maker Xtreme, LLC. Their shirt displaying the sentence, "If you can read this, the bitch fell off," was not selling well until it was learned that the Hayabusa's rear seat has
a propensity to break off. Many Hayabusa riders with wives or girlfriends were forced to order the shirts and have them customized with their home phone numbers for motorists to call should they lose their passenger.
