Suzuki GSX1300RRQM2 Hayabusa

The 3rd Generation is here!

Suzuki’s team of engineers and designers have been working tirelessly to refine countless aspects of the Hayabusa’s performance to create an entirely new generation that is poised to carry a new generation of Hayabusa riders into the future.

The third generation Hayabusa leverages the latest technological innovations to provide greater control and comfort, and ultimately to assist riders in gaining confidence as they enjoy outings on the Ultimate Sport Bike.

Engine

Refinements implemented throughout the Hayabusa’s legendary 1,340cm3 liquid-cooled inline-four engine achieve an even better balance of overall performance, yet greater efficiency and durability, while also satisfying Euro 5 emissions standards. Inheriting the proud legacy of the Ultimate Sport Bike that originally established the category, the Hayabusa’s engine is built to deliver the ultimate riding experience for the long run.

Although the Hayabusa engine is already renowned for its reliability, durability and longevity, the development team was committed to further evolving it to a higher level.

The result of the engineering changes are better torque and power delivery with a more linear power curve in the low-to-mid speed range, which is where riders ultimately spend most of their time.

The new Hayabusa proudly carries on the legacy of the previous generations by providing riders with greater output and smoother torque than any other sports bike at engine speeds up to 6,000 rpm.

The Gen III is also the fastest-accelerating Hayabusa yet, boasting quicker 0-100km/h and 0-200m times than the previous iterations.

Chassis

The Hayabusa’s chassis is designed to empower the rider with sure footing, nimble handling and predictable control that inspires confidence and enhances the riding experience. It delivers a smooth and comfortable ride that absorbs everything the road surface throws at it and responds faithfully to the rider’s will. It effectively transfers the power of its legendary powerplant to the pavement while fully leveraging its intelligent control systems to run and brake effectively, whether riding straight or leaning through corners.

The Hayabusa’s tried and true twin spar aluminium frame and swingarm incorporate aluminium castings along with extruded aluminium sections that lend the right amount of suppleness and strength to its overall rigid alloy frame structure. While more costly and demanding to fabricate, extruded aluminium sections pay off in achieving the optimal overall balance required by a machine that delivers ultimate performance and reaches a top speed of 299km/h. This is why extruded aluminium can also be found used on a number of supercar frames, and why the Hayabusa also leverages its benefits.

The new sub frame designed in conjunction with the bike’s styling changes features straighter pipe sections and reduces weight by 700 grams.

Updated KYB Suspension

Both front and rear suspension settings have been optimised to eliminate any hint of oversteer at lower speeds and achieve a stable ride with neutral feel at all speeds. These combined with the low centre of gravity, long wheelbase and new tyres result in nimble handling along with reassuring straight line stability at highway speeds.

Up front is an updated version of the previous model’s fully adjustable KYB inverted forks with 43mm outer diameter diamond-like coating (DLC) coated inner tubes. The internal structure has been revised to further improve the forks’ ability to absorb the road surface and ensure a smoother, more stable ride with optimum grip. In similar fashion, the internal structure of the fully adjustable KYB rear shock absorber has also been updated to help optimise comfort and straight line stability.

LED Lights And Indicators

In similar fashion, the internal structure of the fully adjustable KYB rear shock absorber has also been updated to help optimise comfort and straight line stability.

A first on a Suzuki motorcycle is the integration of the LED position lights and indicators into single assemblies that neatly flank the outer edges of the large SRAD air intakes. An illumination scheme using white lighting for the position light with the indicators flashing in orange when they are on creates a unique overall effect that heightens the sense of a luxurious riding experience.

Brembo Brake System

Featuring a lighter, more compact and carefully sculpted design, these new calipers increase air-flow around the brake pads assisting them to cool more quickly and deliver immediate response. The diameter of the front discs has been increased from 310mm to 320mm and a new hole pattern is adopted to further help optimise cooling efficiency.

Power Mode Selector

Riders can select between three different engine output modes that control power delivery to match road and riding conditions.
Mode 1: provides the sharpest throttle response and delivers maximum power. It’s a solid choice for the experienced rider out for a spirited run.
Mode 2: provides softer throttle response and more linear power delivery. That makes it practical for everyday riding.
Mode 3: provides the softest throttle response and features a more gentle power curve with reduced maximum output. It’s well suited to riding on wet or slippery roads.

Launch Control

A selection of three mode settings lets the user match the engine speed at launch to their level of experience or confidence. Mode 1 limits engine speed on launch to 4,000 rpm, Mode 2 operates at 6,000 rpm, and Mode 3 — the fastest mode — operates at 8,000 rpm for the most aggressive take-off

Anti-Lift Control

Suzuki has successfully developed an advanced system that maximises acceleration performance whilst preventing front wheel lift. Offering a choice of 10 modes when turned on, with Mode 1 providing minimal control and Mode 10 making it virtually impossible to lift the front wheel, even when fully opening the throttle with a passenger on the back.

Engine Braking Control

This system cancels out the effect of engine braking to suppress rear tyre sliding or skipping and provide even smoother, more controllable behaviour than ever before. A choice of three modes plus an OFF setting allows the rider to control the effective strength of engine braking to match riding conditions or user preference.

Bi-Directional Quick Shifter

Provides the ability to shift gears up or down quickly without the need to operate the clutch or throttle. Offering two modes, Mode 1 reacts more quickly to replicate racing-style response, while Mode 2 offers a lighter touch.

Cruise Control

Reduces fatigue on long rides by allowing the user to maintain a set speed without operating the throttle. The speed can be easily adjusted upward or downward using the mode/set switch on the left handlebar and set from 31km/h to 200km/h while riding at 2,000 to 7,000 rpm in second gear or higher. The handy resume function re-engages the system and accelerates to the most recent speed setting after braking.

Active Speed Limiter

This system lets the rider set a maximum speed they do not wish to exceed and provides the ability to accelerate and decelerate as much as they please within that maximum set speed. This helps lessen worries about the bike exceeding a chosen speed limit.

Emergency Stop Signal

Another first on a motorcycle in Suzuki, is the Emergency Stop Signal function that rapidly flashes the front and rear indicators to alert following vehicles if the brakes are activated suddenly at speeds of 55 km/h or higher.

Hill Hold Control

Is designed to automatically engage the rear brake for 30 seconds after coming to a stop while facing uphill on an incline, even when the brake lever or pedal have been released. This helps ensure a smoother restart, free of worries that the bike will roll backward. The system is disengaged either by quickly squeezing the front brake lever twice, or by accelerating to pull away from a standing start.
