Triumph Thruxton R vs Suzuki Hayabusa Comparison

The Triumph Thruxton R looks great, sounds great and it's so much fun to ride. Practicality and trackside bragging rights about power output figures may well take a back seat because the clean café racer lines and a decent list of features, coupled with a delightful engine make this a beautiful motorcycle worthy of your garage. The steep asking price maybe a problem and the availability as well.

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.
