Pros Cons Suzuki Hayabusa

Pros

  • Impressive acceleration
  • Superlative brakes
  • Competitively priced

Cons

  • Heavy feel on clutch lever
  • Not comfortable in traffic
  • Engine runs hot

Verdict

Priced at ₹ 16.40 lakh (Ex-showroom), the Suzuki Hayabusa offers superb value. It's got crackling performance, a sophisticated electronics suite, which makes it safe and easy to enjoy. The only downside is that the huge 1,340 cc engine generates a lot of heat on a hot day, which can be quite bothersome, and despite the slip-and-assist clutch, the lever feels heavy and not ideal, if you're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.
