Suzuki’s Hayabusa hyperbike is fast and you’ll have to be quick off the mark if you want one.
There’s been so much interest, and so many pre-orders, of the tremendous third-generation ‘Busa’ that Suzuki is concentrating on meeting customer demand.
The result is that each individual Suzuki dealership will not have its own demo Hayabusa.
Instead, Suzuki is running a national demo fleet of 15 Hayabusas. They will tour the country, starting this month, and dealers will have one for only three days for potential purchasers to take a test ride.
While we’re waiting for our dates, we urge would-be Hayabusa customers to email sales@orwell.co.uk to find out more or click on orwell.co.uk/suzuki/new-suzuki-motorcycle-range/sport/hayabusa.
Director Dave Willis explained: “The demand for the new Hayabusa has been so great that Suzuki has decided to put more out to fulfil customer orders rather than having a demo bike at each dealership.”
Despite retaining the iconic Hayabusa aerodynamic silhouette and styling, the new £16,499 hyperbike features more than 550 new parts.
Changes include:
- Sharper-styled, wind-cheating bodywork
- Heavily-redesigned 1,340cc, four-cylinder engine to boost lower to mid rev range performance. It produces 190PS and 150Nm of torque
- A suite of electronics featuring lean angle-sensitive ABS and traction control, cruise control, launch control, anti-lift control, bi-directional quickshifter, engine brake control, three power modes, Active, Basic and Comfort pre-set rider modes and three user-defined modes
- A revised chassis with new subframe, brakes and suspension settings
- Glass Sparkle Black/Candy Burnt Gold and Metallic Matt Sword Silver/Candy Daring Red colour schemes
The Hayabusa, derived from the Japanese name for the peregrine falcon which feasted on blackbirds, was launched in 1999 but fell victim to new Euro 4 emissions regulations in Europe in 2018.
