Anyone know?? I'm sure someone does...

Yes the last one is correct.
The Kanji SYMBOL on the busa stands for Hayabusa which is Japanese for Peregrine Falcon and NOT Strong and Fast as some people think.

The Japanese have used the falcon's name for a number of fast vehicles.
There is a Japanese satellite called Hayabusa, a Japanese Warplane from WWII and now the infamous HAYABUSA GSX1300R....

Sorry M8EE the link for your vacuum cleaner has thankfully been pulled..

Here is the link that shows the "literal" translation of Hayabusa is Peregrine Falcon.

By the way a search for Hayabusa in Wikpedia give the Australian Hayabusa Club the 10th position on the search results....

All good stuff. New about the bird and the WWII plane, not the satllite and the train.
I'm only having the hayabusa and one other Kanji on my bike (when it eventually gets a coat of paint!).

Hayabusa is Japanese for Peregrine Falcon. This is the fastest flying bird in the world that can dive on prey at up to 150mph.
