Top 5 Highlights: 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa

(Although the exterior of the engine remains unchanged, almost all the moving parts have been revised. The new Suzuki Hayabusa is powered by a 1,340 cc, four-stroke, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline four engine which makes 187 bhp at 9,700 rpm and 150 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm. Top speed is still rated at 299 kmph, and kerb weight sees a marginal drop of 2 kg to 264 kg. )

(The instrument console still gets the analogue dials, but gets a TFT central panel to aid the updated electronics suite. The new Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) features SDMS-a, which offers a choice between three factory presets (A: Active, B: Basic, and C: Comfort), as well as three user-defined settings (U1, U2, U3). Each one of these selects the mode settings as a group for the Power Mode Selector, Motion Track Traction Control, Anti-lift Control, Engine Brake Control and Bi-directional Quick Shift systems.)

(The 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa also gets updated bodywork, with sharper lines, yet still retaining that classic Hayabusa shape. The new mirrors are claimed to improve the view for the rider, and LEDs are introduced for the new headlight, position lights and turn indicators)

( There are three new colours on offer, Glass Sparkle Black/Candy Burnt Gold, Metallic Matt Sword Silver/Candy Daring Red and Pearl Brilliant White/Metallic Matt Stellar Blue)
