2022 Suzuki Hayabusa Base

2022 Suzuki Hayabusa

Famed for its abundant power, agility, and majestic presence. Legendary for establishing new levels of ultimate sport performance, and for retaining the number one position for the past two decades in the class it created. Fast forward to today. Total commitment and tireless effort give birth to a new generation perfectly poised to carry riders boldly into the future. Its further enhanced riding experience features even smoother power delivery and nimbler handling, a collection of the latest electronic systems designed to optimize performance characteristics, making the Hayabusa more controllable, predictable, and reliable. And it wraps all this in a package that will instantly turn heads with its breathtaking style and grace.

• POISED AND READY TO FLY

The sleek, aerodynamic silhouette is unmistakably that of the Hayabusa. But the modern look of its styling and luxurious attention to the finest details say it’s a whole lot more. True to its design concept, “The Refined Beast,” the new Hayabusa’s long, low stance screams of the power, performance, poise and keen perceptive abilities possessed by a bird of prey.

• GORGEOUS FROM ANY ANGLE

With an upswept tail and mufflers lending to the aggressive stance of its mass-forward image, this Hayabusa appears to be poised and ready to take flight on an exciting ride. The new mufflers take on colouring unique to your riding style over time, adding a personal touch to your Hayabusa. Splashes of colour and chrome accents contrast blacked-out panel sections to create a visual impression of the incredible performance potential waiting to be tapped.

• OPTIMUM POWER, DURABILITY AND CONTROL

Though the engine is already renowned for its durability and longevity, the following refinements aim to take it to another level. New pistons and connecting rods reduce the weight of moving parts within the engine. Changes to the crankshaft oil passages improve engine lubrication. The transmission shaft needle bearings are extended in length. Attention to detail goes as far as changing the way the engine case bolts are tightened, and even to the threading for the screw holes in the upper crankcase.

• THE BEAUTY OF FINE INSTRUMENTATION

Riders love the familiar layout and outstanding functionality of the Hayabusa’s instrument cluster. Now it benefits from a number of carefully considered touches that make its functional brilliance shine even brighter. Bigger, bolder numbering on the analogue tach and speedometer improve readability, as do the backlit raised scale markings around the periphery. One standout item is the new TFT LCD panel mounted in the centre. In addition to the current SDMS-a systems settings, it features an Active Data display that enhances the ride by offering a bird’s-eye view of the bike’s current operating status. This includes real-time display of the lean angle (with peak-hold function), front and rear brake pressure, rate of acceleration, and throttle position.

• LIGHTING YOUR WAY IN STYLE

The Hayabusa’s vertically stacked low beam and projector-type high beam headlights adopt LEDs. The distinctive signature of their lighting pattern provides clear illumination at night and makes the Hayabusa highly visible to pedestrians and other traffic. Position lights with integrated turn signals*, a first on a Suzuki motorcycle, neatly flank the outer edges of the large SRAD air intakes. In the rear, a bold new LED taillight and rear turn signal design creates a single wide, sharp accent running horizontally across the bottom of the tail section.
