Hayabusa originally named Suzuki GSX1300R, was introduced by Suzuki for the first time in 1999. Since the date Hayabusa was regarded as the fastest motorcycle in the world until the recent voluntary speed regulations the manufacturers imposed on the bike.
The bike is named Hayabusa after a Japanese term for the Peregrine Falcon, the fastest creature on the planet. The Falcon moves at a speed of 300 km/h. It is no exaggeration that the bike is named rightly and it moves faster than any other motorcycles. The bike reaches from 0-100 km/h in just three seconds flat.
After several modifications Suzuki has launched Hayabusa 2008 which the company claims, compared to the original, the hotter than ever. The new Hayabusa’s engine is thoroughly updated for more power and an improved power-to-weight ratio, which you’ll experience as an even greater rush of acceleration. Its refined chassis and suspension help provide crisper handling. And its striking new fairing offers sleeker aerodynamics.
The 1340cc, DOHC liquid-cooled engine with 16-valves, Twin Swirl Combustion Chambers provides 11% higher performance then the previous models and smoother operation. New Suzuki SDTV fuel injection system with dual injectors per cylinder and ram air intake with large volume air-box allows the rider to choose from three different engine settings depending on riding conditions or rider preferences.
Lightweight titanium intake and exhaust valves with narrow 14 degree valve angle for high combustion chamber efficiency. The lightweight aluminum alloy pistons feature a revised shape and a higher compression ratio of 12.5:1 for maximum performance in all conditions. SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electro-chemical Material) plated cylinders minimize cylinder size and improve heat dissipation and new hydraulic cam chain tensioner for reduced mechanical noise.
The ventilation holes at the cylinder skirt for reduced pumping losses and increased performance. High efficiency curved radiator features dual electric fans controlled by the ECM for increased cooling capacity. Oil cooler now has 10 rows cores for increased heat dissipation. Ion plating treatment utilizing PVD (physical vapor deposit) method is applied to piston rings providing a smoother surface treatment for increased durability, reduced friction loss and reduced oil consumption. Slick shifting 6 speed transmission working in conjunction with an innovative back torque limiting clutch for smooth and controlled down-shifts
Fully adjustable inverted front fork featuring DLC coated inner tubes for minimal friction resistance and outstanding suspension performance over a variety of riding conditions. Lightweight and rigid twin-spar aluminum frame minimizes weight while maintaining high torsional strength.
Radial-mount front brake calipers for maximum braking performance and allows for smaller 310mm front brake rotors resulting in reduced unsprung weight and improved handling. Lightweight single piston rear brake caliper working in conjunction with a new larger 260mm rear brake disc.
Hayabusa is not just a powerful bike, bike a power generator that makes you feel on the top of the world at each second you are on the riding seat. Every person who loves to ride bikes, aspire for a Hayabusa, which is of course a bit costly, but cheap compared the the performance it offers.
Hayabusa is an excellent bike, the looks are awesome and so is the feel. Though it is a costly bike, but its a pleasure to own one. I have it since 3 years now too goood!!!!!
