Hayabusa is as famous and awkward looking a bike as any
The Hayabusa is designed with a view to be the fastest accelerating
bike on the planet with fantastic wind-cheating ability. Its standout,
bulbous, lengthy style is instantly recognisable.
Up front, an oversized but shapely mudguard goes upwards into the headlight cluster which with a 70mm projector-type high beam works brilliantly at night. The indicators sit flush in the fairing, while the pair of smoothly rounded rearview mirrors work well even at high speeds.

The bike comes with silver-outlined four-pod analogue instruments for
the speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and temperature gauge. A
centered LCD displays the bike’s odo and twin trip readings as well as
Suzuki’s Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS), which allows easy switching
between three engine maps as can be operated on the fly. On offer are A
mode for maximum performance, B for a relatively tame power curve, and C
that subdues the Busa to make it as sedate as a Busa can possibly be.
The Busa comes with beautifully sculpted, reach-adjustable, buffed alloy
clutch and brake levers, comfortable grips and adequate switchgear
bolted onto its clip-on bars. The tank area offers firm grip to the
rider’s thighs, and the saddle is comfortably padded for both, rider and
pillion.
The new Busa’s fuel tank is slightly lower than on the earlier model,
while its visor sits 15mm higher, both combining to allow improved wind
protection when a rider tucks in. The Hayabusa comes with smartly
flattened and chrome-tipped twin silencers. An angular tail fairing
section leads into its wide, easily distinguishable-at- night LED double
lens taillight and oval turn indicators. Paint quality, fit and finish
and overall quality are acceptable.
