Suzuki Hayabusa vs Royal Enfield Bullet – Tug of War
The video has been uploaded by a popular YouTuber. The white Hayabusa and grey Bullet have been tied at the rear. Both the riders begin to accelerate to test the capabilities of their bikes. However, it soon became clear that this competition is going to be one-sided. The Hayabusa is seen overpowering the Bullet convincingly. The Bullet is a powerful bike that is quite heavy. But it felt like an underdog in this tug of war against the mighty Hayabusa. It must be mentioned here that the result was not surprising for anyone. The superbike is much more powerful compared to the Bullet. A similar result followed in the subsequent attempts as well. Hayabusa was forcefully able to pull the Bullet every single time.
