The launch is pretty close but thanks to the massive spike in COVID-19 cases, Suzuki India could postpone the launch or opt for an online event. Suzuki was also planning to organise a ‘Hayabusa Day’ to showcase the new bike.
Apart from the exciting new colours, the Busa packs a lot of goodies for 2021. The third-gen Hayabusa is probably the most feature-packed Busa to date. It gets an extensive electronics suite, including engine brake control, wheelie control, cruise control, hill hold control, and launch control -- all accessible through a dual-pod semi-digital instrument cluster that we totally dig.
The Hayabusa is theoretically powered by the same 1340cc inline-four motor, but the engine has undergone many changes for BS6 compliance. The power output has gone down, though, but Suzuki claims it’s now more tractable than before. It sees several other changes too.
