If this unforgiving Monster were ever to take the form of an object I fear it would be this... The Suzuki GSX1300R [Hayabusa (隼) aka the Peregrine Falcon.] This is the reigning king of the Motorcycle world as the Fastest street legal motorcycle available to the public. One could say this is Suzuki's signature trade mark.
Under the fairings is...
Engine: 1340cc, 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve
Top Speed (Speedometer): 248 miles per hour (397 km/h)
Power: 197 horsepower @ 6750 rpm (147kW)
Transmission: 6-speed
Weight: 550lbs. (dry) 592 lbs. (wet)
Fuel Economy: ~ 26-34 mpg (Assuming you don't go over 8000 rpm!)
MSRP: $13,699
Concurrently there are 2 generations of Hayabusas (1999-2007) & (2008-Present). Both look fairly beastly, however, I like the 2nd generation has a slight edge given its aerodynamic improvements over it's previous counterpart. However it's also important to note after 2000 the hayabusa underwent the gentleman's agreement and now has a limiter which limits the top speed to 186 mph (300km/h). But as we all know where there's a will there's a way.
Btw if you're worried with fuel economy perhaps this Liter bike isn't for you. You may beat everything that's on the road, but just remember you'll never beat the gas station.

Back in the day before I knew about motorcycles this was the MV that got me hooked. Big Bang's TOP & the 1st generation Hayabusa:
