Introducing the 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa. This iconic model returns delivering an entirely new level of balanced performance, redefining the ultimate sports class. It combines seemingly effortless acceleration, wind-cheating aerodynamics and now the three-way selectable engine mapping to suit a rider’s personal preference.
The engine is updated to reach new levels of efficiency and smooth drivability, with more displacement and broader torque throughout the rpm range, a better power-to-weight ratio and lower emissions.
