Arkansas State Police High Speed Pursuit of Suzuki Hayabusa

On July 29, 2024, at approximately 0630hrs, I Trooper Bratton observed a motorcycle cutting back and forth through cars
behind me at about the 11MM southbound on U.S. 67/167 in the construction zone. I pulled to the shoulder and allowed the
bike to pass. At this time I noticed that the motorcycle appeared to be a maroon Suzuki Hayabusa with no license plate
attached.
Once the motorcycle was able to get around traffic after the concrete barriers cleared, the motorcycle started to pass traffic on
the right shoulder and continued to cut in and out of traffic lanes. I was able to catch up to the motorcycle just before the onramp to I440 WB. The driver of the motorcycle looked over his shoulder and saw I was trying to pull him over. The motorcycle
accelerated and began to flee as he entered I440 WB. The driver of the motorcycle was a white male wearing a black hoodie
with a orange under shirt, blue jeans, and a white helmet. The motorcycle began passing traffic on I440 WB traveling over
120MPH.
My unit began having mechanical problems and I was unable to keep up with the suspect. I lost sight of the motorcycle at the
11MM of I440 WB so I canceled the pursuit.

This should have been titled, "Trooper Goes For A Scenic Joyride By Himself"

Was gonna say if you can’t lose the cops on a Busa you don’t deserve to own one!

[RoentX]

Dropped a gear and disappeared. Those are extremely fast bikes so no shame on losing him, let alone having to end the chase.

[cjljr]

Someone Googled Suzuki Hayabusa after their shift.

[ronmendoza]

Put the driving public in danger by chasing a motorcycle you'll never catch. Dumb Cops getting their inflated egos roughed up.

[harryfloresalonso]

There was no way he was going to catch that Hyabusa that's a 9sec. Oem bike, thanks for the Video Lt.

[goodguy]

Fast bike. I don't think you would have caught him even if you didn't have mechanical problems. No plate.He was ready for a chase

[darylmcbride]

Win some lose some, but this one never started.

[Bustedknucklegarage]

That dude was the real gone in 60 seconds 😂

That is the fastest production motorcycle on the market. I read somewhere that they actually had that tune it down before it could be for sale to the public. I don’t even think a helicopter could keep up with it. only thing they cannot outrace is the registration/license plate.There probably isn’t too many of those on the road.

[StevenG]

I'll admit it, my feelings get a little hurt when the person gets away! I know they cant catch them all, but it still sucks!🥺🤧

[jeronimo]

All the blame to those releasing them when they run from police if you legislators make it 10 years mandatory they will stop next time

[Michael-drwl]

The Dodge charger tops out at 150 mph the Hyabusa tops out at 200+ mph! Don’t even waste your time and life! You have other traffic violators to catch!

[adonisqeeryazees-morb]

Despite not holding particular feelings towards police forces I am bound to admit they are in a line of work I wouldn't accept doing. As far as I am concerned as a rider of such a bike (generation 3 model) I never ever expose myself to the risk of high speed on public roads. My constant ambition is safety, precision and avoidance of every possible surprise while riding. In a sentence, I won't shoot my own leg!

[khamariblair]

While that cop has slowed down to a normal speed, that motorcycle is in another town and county somewhere far far up the road

[jackc]

Great description. Did you get the tag so we can go to his house?

[Greylocks]

No shame; the Hayabusa is still one of the fastest motorcycles in the world. If the driver has reasonable skills, not even a helicopter can keep up.
That's OK though. There cant be too many Hayabusa in that color floating around.

[oneshot]

The only thing the Suz Hayabusa can not out run it the the driver of the scooter knows how to ride, then he's prbly of radio or no radio....

[BJJ]

Huge ego to chase a bike that goes over 200 MPH 🤡🤡🤡 didn’t have a shot in a gun range at catching that
