It was past seven in the evening when I got the call. “Sir, we’re downstairs”, said the man on the other end of the line. My brain had already begun to imagine long before I went to collect the Hayabusa downstairs. It almost sounded comical - ‘the Hayabusa is here’, I thought to myself while I was rushing to see if all was well. Then, there it was; atop a small flatbed. Before I even got to the bike to take a closer look, there was a small crowd gathering with murmurings of astonishment. “Is this really the new one?” said one of the enthusiastic older gentlemen in the crowd. “The very same.”, I replied with an unwarranted sense of accomplishment.
