The Suzuki Hayabusa is the undisputed king of superbikes. The GSX1300R Hayabusa’s engine is tuned for mid- to high-rpm performance, with a six-speed close-ratio transmission and a large clutch to handle the engine’s massive torque. The Hayabusa’s aerodynamic bodywork is designed to slice through the wind with minimal resistance, and the suspension is tuned for superb handling on the street or track. The Hayabusa’s brakes are among the best in the business, with large, six-piston calipers gripping 320mm discs up front and a single-piston caliper on a 260mm disc at the rear. The Hayabusa’s instrumentation is comprehensive, with an analog tachometer, digital speedometer, and a host of warning lights. The Hayabusa is available in a striking Glass Sparkle Black color scheme.
