Watch the video review:

Top speed is still rated at 299 kmph and kerb weight sees a marginal drop of 2 kg to 264 kg but the number plate holder and the saree guard on Indian models bring the weight back up to 266 kg. Along with the updated engine, the motorcycle also gets a wide variety of electronic rider aids and a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU). The USP is the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S) under which you get three riding modes and three user-defined modes, with different settings for traction control, anti-lift control, engine brake control and so on. Here's a look at the new Suzuki Hayabusa's pros and cons.
