Suzuki Hayabusa vs Kawasaki Ninja 650 Comparison

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.

The Ninja 650 may be a middleweight, but it feels like a small bike, and it doesn't have the intake roar or exhaust note associated with a high-performance motorcycle. It feels at ease handling traffic, and is equally comfortable on the highway, if you're in the mood for occasional long-distance touring. If you're looking to upgrade from a smaller bike, or you're new to motorcycling, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 could well be all the bike you need.
