The other Hayabusa, the worlds fastest production motorcyle, with a top speed of just under 190 mph. The name is of a Japanese falcon, that is one of the fastest birds in the world.

In this photo released by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the part of asteroid Itokawa is seen with the shadow of probe Hayabusa on top right Saturday, Nov. 12, 2005. The Japan's space agency suffered another glitch in its mission to collect surface samples from asteroid Itokawa and retrun to Earth when a can-sized robot lander apparently became lost in space while attempting a practice landing. The rehearsal landing followed an earlier attempt that was aborted due to mechanical trouble, but the space agency said it will go ahead with actual landings on the potato-shaped asteroid Itokawa on Nov. 19 and Nov. 25.
