    I'd agree with what others are saying: it looks very much like a stylistic 隼（はやぶさ）. In fact, here's a screen dump of the image with JWPce showing the Kanji detail next to it: taylorj.org.uk/images/Hayabusa.png

Could it be 隼（はやぶさ）- falcon? Pretty certain about the top part, less sure about the bottom.

I have a feeling it says the same as the romaji directly below it, painted on the side of the bike: http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles/Products/Hayabusa/2012/GSX1300R.aspx

The literal meaning can be looked up in any of the dictionaries listed on our resources page, like this for example.
