Japanese motorcyclesSuzuki motorcycles
has been the fastest sports motorcycle for ten years .
Having won the championship in all positions, the motorbike confidently moved away from its competitors.
the impeccable and at the same time simple design immediately catches your eye .
The perfection of technical characteristics, as well as the special design of a shiny, streamlined silhouette, attracts the eye.
Undoubtedly, the owner of this motorcycle risks incurring the envy of others.
But, let’s immediately move on to the technical characteristics of this miracle of modern technology. A 1.3-liter engine is installed here and works great, which does not know the concept of “not enough power.”
This unit allows you to increase speed in 4-6 gears, accelerating up to 300 km/h.
The suspension here is manually adjusted ; you can change both front and rear parameters.
We have already managed to completely solve the problem with the brakes, and now the motorcycle is equipped with Brembo M50 sports motoblocks with ABS.
The developers also thought through the ergonomics of the seat of this racing motorcycle down to the smallest detail.
A motorcyclist who has spent the whole day in the saddle will not feel the need to constantly stop to warm up.
Control here is facilitated with the help of traction control, as well as the modern proprietary development of S-DMS, which allows the engine to operate in three modes.
This solution saves the motorcyclist from making mistakes during unpleasant weather conditions. of the vehicle has also been improved
These improvements are the result of field testing.
The front fork is fully adjustable and the latest rear suspension ensures excellent stability during braking.
The same can be said about cornering and, of course, driving on a straight road.
Specifications
The Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa motorbike is equipped with a transverse 16-valve 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1299 cm3. Its power is 197 hp. With.
The ignition system is equipped with eight initiating contacts. Engine cooling is water.
The piston stroke and cylinder diameter are 65.0 mm x 81.0 mm, making the motorcycle much more comfortable to drive.
It uses a six-speed constant mesh transmission.
The use of titanium saves 14.1 g of weight on each intake valve and 11.7 g on each exhaust valve.
The compression ratio reaches 12.5:1 and this is precisely evidence of the engine’s high power.
Each cylinder is equipped with two injectors, each with 12 nozzles and dual throttle valves. As a result, all 4 cylinders receive fuel efficiently even at high speeds.
The exhaust system is equipped with two lambda probes, which reduce emissions to EURO3 standards.
Fuel injection into the engine is controlled using separate multivariate characteristics for each of the cylinders. As a result, the performance of each cylinder, as well as the cold start of the engine, have improved.
The effect of elevated temperatures on the engine has also been reduced. The flap valve in the air intake is computer activated and regulates air flow within the desired rpm range.
Thus, at revolutions per minute less than 4000, the air flow decreases, and opening the valve at revolutions greater than 4000 per minute provides maximum air flow.
The wheelbase here is 1,480 mm.
As a result, the bike moves incredibly smoothly on the road, even if there are bumps along the way.
High-quality tire construction and highly reliable material prevent the wheels from bursting when they hit a nail.
There are many ways to protect yourself while riding a motorcycle. One of them is the use of a motor turtle, a review of which you will find in our article.
Fans of original equipment will certainly be interested in this helmet, which is made by hand.
Excellent speed characteristics can be achieved using high technology. As a result, in just 2.6 seconds the motorbike can accelerate to 100 km.
The maximum speed of this model can reach 300 km/h , and acceleration to 100 km/h takes only 2.7 seconds. At this speed, the Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa is capable of covering long distances.
The throttle handle moves incredibly easily and this contributes to a comfortable and smooth acceleration.
The ground clearance here is 120 mm, which ensures safety while driving.
The pilot is also able to see far ahead, assessing the situation on the road.
Dual front disc brakes will also help you quickly react to an unexpected situation.
It takes a minimal amount of travel to stop the motorcycle.
Despite the fact that the motorcycle's power is overflowing, it does not stand on the rear wheel.
Here the wheelbase is long and the power is distributed evenly .
The softness and inexhaustibility of traction allows the motorcycle to cut through space, smoothly sinking the front wheel.
The engineers here have made sure that the choppy engine is not a problem when cornering.
There are three maps for fuel distribution:
- card A – guarantees the highest quality of operation;
- card C – reduces power to 50%. This is useful when driving in the mountains or in the rain;
- card B – in comparison with card A, it only slightly reduces the return.
The suspension here is stiff, and the steering may seem too sharp.
In any situation, the driver has full control of the motorcycle.
The motor allows you to change gears less often, and the comfortable saddle contributes to a long, comfortable ride.
The road cruiser Honda Shadow 750, with a low saddle and a large set of accessories at an attractive price, is consistently in demand in the secondary market.
Most motorcyclists prefer this model as their first motorcycle to practice initial skills.

Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa
- a monstrously powerful hyperbike, one of the most powerful in the world. More precisely, for six years it was the fastest production motorcycle on the planet, taking the palm from the Honda CBR 1100 XX Blackbird, but then losing it to Kawasaki with their Kawasaki ZZR 1400 model, and then the Kawasaki Ninja H2. Nevertheless, Hayabusa is wildly popular among fans of high speeds.
Huge, heavy, this motorcycle is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, and its maximum speed is 300 kilometers per hour, and that is due to the presence of a limiter, since this bike is potentially capable of accelerating even more. The first generation Suzuki Hayabusa with a 172-horsepower engine was able to accelerate to 312 km/h in tests (limiters began to be installed only in 2000). Part of the Hayabusa's enormous top speed is due to its excellent aerodynamics - early prototypes were extensively tested in a wind tunnel during the design stage.
First going on sale in 1999, the motorcycle was modernized in 2008. The second generation Suzuki Hayabusa received an increased 197 hp engine to 1340cc, a new fork, a new rear shock absorber and many minor improvements such as titanium valves. This motorcycle achieved a 0-100 km/h test result of 2.6 seconds. It was also this engine that served as the power unit for the Suzuki B-King naked bike.
Huge, heavy (dry weight about 250kg) and incredibly powerful, the Suzuki Hayabusa is a motorcycle designed for experienced motorcyclists. However, this is not a radical sportsbike - due to its size and weight, sharp maneuvers on the track are more difficult for it than less powerful and nimble rivals like the Yamaha R1. Hayabusa is more of a sport-tourist, since, in addition to more than impressive technical characteristics, its creators also took care of comfort. Despite the sporty riding position, the Hayabusa is actually very comfortable to sit on, even if you take a passenger on board, and the wind protection of the motorcycle is beyond praise.
An advanced system of three brake discs and tenacious calipers is responsible for braking. The deceleration is effective - everything is on point. The Suzuki Hayabusa gas tank holds 21 liters of gasoline, which allows you to make long trips without frequent refueling. When riding quietly at 140-150 km/h, the motorcycle consumes approximately 7.5 liters per hundred kilometers, but if you open the gas harder, the consumption will increase. Hayabusa prefers to consume 98-octane gasoline. On long trips, the bike can easily cover up to 300 kilometers on one tank.
Sometimes it seems that the Suzuki Hayabusa was released on the principle of “just because we can.” We can make a super-powerful hyperbike - so we will. The resulting result could be called ambiguous - too heavy and large for track racing, too powerful for long trips. However, the wild popularity of Hayabusa suggests that the creators of this motorcycle hit the bull’s eye, creating, perhaps, a real legend.
Aerodynamics of the model
The technical lines impeccably meet the requirements of aerodynamics.
This is especially true for the front part, which easily overcomes resistance.
The task of the tail section is to effectively collect air flows together and form a wake.
And the rear turn signals are like fins here .
Although, a pair of mufflers visually adds heaviness to the rear end.
The seat is wide and even a large pilot will find it as comfortable as possible. The footrests are also thoughtfully placed.
But, if the rider is tall, he will have to tuck his legs well. But such inconveniences allow you to take turns with a serious tilt.
The aerodynamic skin here is very comfortable . At speeds of up to 200 km/h, you can move with a straight torso, without fear of headwinds. All you have to do is monitor the dashboard readings.
And it consists of a central display containing a tachometer and speedometer, as well as coolant and fuel temperature sensors.
As for fuel consumption, the manufacturer stated that the Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 requires 7.1 liters to cover 100 km .
However, the exact value will always be influenced by riding style.
A short summary
The technical parameters and stylish design of this vehicle make it one of the best bikes in the sports-touring class. You just have to look at the photo of the Hayabusa to understand that this is a truly dynamic motorcycle.
You can easily set any records on it, and the driver is very comfortable in the saddle of this iron horse. The only significant disadvantage is the fairly high cost of the motorbike.
Video review of the Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 motorbike:
Estimated cost
One of the most important points is the price of the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R.
The cost of a new model of this sports bike starts from 800,000 rubles.
Those who want to purchase a used model can expect a price that depends on the year of manufacture and technical condition of the motorcycle .
For example, a 1st generation Hayabusa from 1999-2007 will cost between $6,000 and $7,000.
But for the second generation 2008-2015, you will have to pay from 11,000 to 12,000 dollars.
Disadvantages of the bike
One of the disadvantages of such a vehicle is the fact that high speed is absolutely not felt here. As a result, drivers are often fined for exceeding it. In addition, at low speeds the model demonstrates rather poor performance. But after engaging fourth gear and higher, all competitors remain far behind. Finally, such a vehicle is quite expensive.
For the gsx1300r Hayabusa you will have to pay from 5 thousand dollars. And the prices for services will be quite high.
conclusions
Suzuki GSX 1300 R is a strong and efficient sports bike.
It can reach very high speeds. It must be said that this fastest sports motorbike in the world is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
State-of-the-art technology works perfectly here, delivering incredible power.
It also provides the most efficient weight-to-power ratio.
And a bright and memorable appearance immediately becomes the center of attention.
The Suzuki Hayabusa 1300R motorcycle has excellent dynamics and acceleration. They instantly respond to movements of the throttle.
Such a masterpiece of engineering can give a lot of pleasure while driving.
Few people will replace this sports bike with any other.
We present to you the Honda Valkyrie, whose technical characteristics, combined with its appearance, take it to a leading position among similar models.
This model has qualities that give it maximum sportiness. This motorcycle has perfect appearance and technical characteristics.
Summation
In less than a week I drove almost 1500 test kilometers on the Suzuki Hayabusa. I tested this bike in several major cities, on highways and on winding local roads. It works very well, it certainly doesn't feel sluggish when cornering, the suspension handles imperfections well. You can move around the city in traffic jams, and the aerodynamics make it easy to move at high speeds. Maybe this is not typical tourism, but the routes do not get tired like sports, despite the similar position.
Who is this for? Of course, not for everyone. It's easy to be fooled into thinking you have control of the fastest Suzuki. So it's more of an offer for experienced, risk-conscious, imaginative riders who love sports bikes, but off-speed also value comfort even for two people and with a load.

Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R is a true masterpiece of engineering; at first glance it amazes with its perfect and at the same time simple design.
And the original, unparalleled design of the streamlined and shiny silhouette will always attract admiring glances and cause envy to the owner of this powerful sports bike. You will see this for yourself by looking at our photo selection.
Comparison with analogues
Motorcycle Kawasaki ZZR 1400
As mentioned earlier, the main competitors in the class are the Kawasaki ZZR 1100 and Honda CBR 1100 XX. But we decided that these were rivals of the first generation Hayabusa and it was not appropriate to compare them with motorcycles that had long since rolled off the assembly line. We also found a more recent rival to our motorcycle - the Kawasaki ZZR 1400. Let's compare their performance.
As the name suggests, Kawasaki has 100 cc. cm more, and you can get 200 hp from the engine, here the bus loses a little. The competitor's curb weight is 268 kg, which is 8 kg more than the bus.
Having compared the indicators characterizing the power supply, we move on to the acceleration time, and here we see absolutely the same numbers from 2.6 to hundreds. All other characteristics can be left to the subjective choice of the buyer
But it is important to note that busa is still very common in the motorcycle community.
Maintenance and repair
The first generation became, in some way, a test and revealed the weak points of the motorcycle, such as:
- weak design of the rear subframe, which could often become deformed due to increased load when installing the trunk;
- instant oil starvation caused by a motorcycle fall or wheelie.
Therefore, in the second generation, all the shortcomings were corrected, and the motorcycle can confidently be called reliable.
In terms of maintenance, everything is standard, and a handy owner will be able to handle the issue without outside help. The chain deserves special attention - the powerful engine strives to stretch it.
You shouldn’t skimp on tires; road grip should remain at the same level, because we have 197 horses and they need to be controlled somehow.
It is worth paying attention to timely oil changes, otherwise this can become a serious problem for the motorcycle and you
