2007 Suzuki Hayabusa
This is the first generation of Suzuki Hayabusa produced from 1999-2007. When first shown to the press in 1999, the first Hayabusa made a deep impression. The distinctive and memorable design of the original Hayabusa was modeled after the armor and helmet worn by Samurai warriors to achieve superior aerodynamics and comprehensive wind protection for the rider. The Hayabusa incorporates a compact chassis featuring a highly aerodynamic twin-beam aluminum frame that also helps the rider maintain a low head position. This first generation uses a liquid-cooled 1,298 cc DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 175 HP and 102 Ft-lb of torque. making it the most powerful mass-production engine ever made by Suzuki at that time. Combined with advanced aerodynamics, a powerful engine, and a ram air system that forces cold, pressurized air into the cylinders at high speeds, the Suzuki Hayabusa broke the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird's speed record in 1999. The Hayabusa recorded a top speed of 312 km/h (194 mph), surpassing the Blackbird's record of 286 km/h (178 mph). This extreme speed war led to a collective agreement that limited the speed of mass-produced motorcycles to 299 km/h (186 mph). After the introduction of a speed limiter system in 2001, the Hayabusa remained essentially the same until the 2007 model year.
2026 Suzuki Hayabusa
The all-new Hayabusa is the third-generation model which has undergone a full-model change for the first time in 13 years. Under the product concept “Ultimate Sport”, inherited from the very first generation, it has further evolved the unique styling design with outstanding aerodynamic performance and superior riding performance. The new and iconic styling design, which is instantly recognizable as the Hayabusa, has a flowing, forward slanting and aggressive silhouette characterized by its bold surfaces with sharp and edgy lines. The 1340cc Inline 4-cylinder engine features a ride-by-wire electronic throttle system and revised intake and exhaust mechanisms for enhanced output and torque in the low-to-mid speed range. It meets the Euro 5 emissions standards while maintaining its best performance in the high-speed range by pursuing top-level aerodynamic performance. The newly installed Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) features SDMS-α, which helps riders to select pre-set patterns on 5 different electronic control systems including Power Mode Selector, Traction Control, and 3 other controls. Various mode selections are offered for each electronic control system to better fit varying riding scenes from city riding to touring, racetracks, and better serve riders’ preferences and skill levels.
