Suzuki Hayabusa Sportsbike Launched
Originally introduced in 1999 and consistently tested as the fastest production motorcycle in the world, the Hayabusa is designed for maximum performance. Named after the Japanese bird of prey capable of speeds in excess of 300 km/h, it is one of Australia's most popular, high-powered sports motorcycles.
Packed with race-bred technology, the 2011 Hayabusa features Suzuki's Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system and a 1304cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine providing strong power delivery and impressive torque throughout its broad powerband.
Suzuki's original Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) lets riders select one of three engine maps to suit road conditions and their riding preferences. The slick-shifting six-speed transmission works in conjunction with the innovative Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) back-torque-limiting clutch to deliver smooth and controlled downshifts.
Dual 310mm front disc brakes and a 260mm rear disc brake combine to provide plenty of stopping ability to tame the Hayabusa's power. A lightweight twin-spar aluminium-alloy frame and aggressive and sporty styling complete the potent package.
Available in either pearl black or candy blue colour schemes, the 2011 Hayabusa is now available for a RRP of $18,990 plus ORCs.
