Suzuki Hayabusa 2012

A machine like this simply needs no presentation as the name says it all. It was the fastest production bike ever made before Kawasaki gave an answer to it in the form of the ZX-12R back in 2000 and it would still be that today if it wasn’t for the 186mph limitation that followed.




Also, this is probably the most highly worked on and modified motorcycle ever as all the outrageous modification that passed through tuners minds would have first found their place on the Busa and then on smaller bikes.



In 2010, the Suzuki Hayabusa features the best power-to-weight ratio and presents itself as one of the sharpest looking motorcycles ever made after the 2008 redesign. Powered by the smooth-accelerating and fuel-injected 1,340cc, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine that started a revolution in its earliest form, it would seem that the drag track is the only place to exploit it, but the thing actually goes on legal roads and that’s where part of the fun actually begins. In order for that to happen smoothly, this model features the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, which is the adequate solution for different riding styles or conditions. Mated to a smooth six-speed transmission, that overwhelmingly powerful engine gets down to business in the GSX-R style.



The frame, swingarm and rear shock are all made of aluminum alloy for proper weight reduction while the inverted front forks are compression, rebound damping and spring preload adjustable in order to give the bike a versatile side too. On top of that, the standard steering damper is a must on the Hayabusa, but that can also be said about the radial mount front brake calipers and the 260mm rear disc. ABS is also available for extra safety.
