Named after one of the fastest birds - Peregrine Falcon in Japan, the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-1300R holds a cult status globally. It was one of the fastest accelerating motorcycles when it went on sale in 1998 and has since managed to break several records. In fact, when the Suzuki Hayabusa exceeded the top speed of 310 kmph in 1999, fears of a European ban or regulatory crackdown led Japanese and European motorcycle makers having a gentleman's agreement to agree to limited top speed of motorcycles to 300 kmph in late 1999.

In addition to H.O.G and RAT in India, some of the other manufacturer backed motorcycle clubs include Indian Motorcycle Rider's Group (IMRG) and Ducati Riders Club. There's also Rebels on Bikes (ROBS) from UM Motorcycles as well The Avenger Gods for Bajaj Avenger owners.
