Suzuki Hayabusa [2019-2020] (Standard)

The Hayabusa is synonymous to superbike enthusiasts all over the world . First introduced in 1999, it was the fastest production motorcycle then and continues to keep up with the quick young guns of today. The Busa, as it is popularly known in the motorcycle world, kicked-off the big bike trend in India.

The Hayabusa sports a curvy yet aerodynamic design which has not changed much since the first generation of this bike was introduced. It is powered by a 1340cc liquid-cooled inline-four cylinder engine that puts out 197bhp at 9,500rpm and 155Nm of torque at 7,200rpm. This unit is mated to a six-speed constant-mesh gearbox. The power output can be controlled via the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) which allows the rider to select one of the three engine control maps for different riding conditions.

Apart from the engine control modes, the bike gets a dual channel-ABS. This unit supports the Brembo front calipers that hold onto 310mm twin discs and the rear Tokico caliper with a 260mm disc. Suspension is taken care of by 43mm KYB inverted front forks and a link-type rear suspension. Tipping the scale at 266kg, the bike sports a 21-litre fuel tank capacity.

The Hayabusas instrument cluster features a set of four round analogue gauges that display the tachometer, speedometer, fuel meter and coolant temperature. It also gets a round LCD which shows the gear position, EOMion indicator, clock, odometer, trip meter and S-DMS map indicator.

The 2020 edition of the Suzuki Hayabusa is available in two new colour schemes of Metallic Thunder Grey and Candy Daring Red. The bike rivals against the Kawasaki ZX-14R, the Team Greens sport tourer offering.
