If one were asked to make a list of top 10 most exciting superbikes of all time, we reckon the Suzuki Hayabusa will be in the top five for most enthusiasts. And it doesn t surprise us because the Peregrine Falcon has such a rich legacy. Ever since the first model came out in 1999, the Hayabusa has been the poster-bike for many riders. The first-generation model was fast and very distinct from any other superbike.

The original first-gen Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa’s claim to fame is its unbelievable top speed. It can reach 188 to 194 mph, enough to become the world’s fastest production motorbike.

Suzuki Hayabusa is not only an important name in the Japanese brand s portfolio but also in the world of superbikes. Since the premiere of the first generation model, the Hayabusa has carved a niche as one of the most exciting motorcycles in the world. And this is exactly why the enthusiasts were disappointed when Suzuki started to pull the plug on the second generation model as the bike couldn t meet stricter emission norms. First they discontinued it in America, then Europe, followed by other markets like India. The word on the street was the Suzuki was unlikely to revive the nameplate, but turns out that the com
The 2022 version’s 110 pound-feet of torque is also down a smidge, but Suzuki does promise there’s a wider powerband, though for the life of me, I never ever heard anyone complain about the big ‘Busa’s paucity of mid-range grunt. Suzuki still lists the top speed as 299 kilometres per hour, but as anyone who’s ever ridden a Hayabusa in anger knows, that has more to do with calming regulators’ nerves than actually limiting speed.
The same familiarity applies to the basic chassis, which, though somewhat lightened, remains the familiar twin-spar aluminum jobbie of the original. Oh, the front brakes are a little larger, the rotors now measuring 320 millimetres in diameter and the calipers some stylish and powerful Brembo Stylemas. But other than the details the rear subframe is a little lighter it’s all familiar territory. One minor detail that aging Suzuki fans of speed might appreciate, however, is that the handlebars are now some 12-mm closer to the rider; no more
