Driving report Suzuki Hayabusa
The return of the frenzied falcon – with Euro 5

In 2016 the Hayabusa went. Spirit, rumors and wishes have always remained. The Hayabusa will return in 2021 – Euro 5 compliant. Not stronger, but at least as good. MOTORBIKE she drove. And the author asked himself on the highway: “Drive the trucks backwards?”

A look back has to be: It was the beginning of 1999. Bert Poensgen, the then Marketing and Sales Director of Suzuki Germany – the motorcycle god has him blessed! – addressed the journalists playing with the throttle at the tollbooth of a Spanish motorway with unforgettable words: “Men”, commanded this veteran, “I want to see contrails!” The rest is history: Toni Mang later unceremoniously opened a third lane on the far left for a German low-cost TV format, almost on the green belt, and Germany had its scandal on two wheels.

End of the Suzuki Hayabusa 2017/2018

Suzuki had hit the bull’s eye, the motorcycle world was richer by a legend. And a fantastic motorcycle. Because the one named after the Japanese peregrine falcon – it swoops down to 300 km / h anywhere on the planet – was much more than lightning fast. Blessed with smooth spring elements and a comfortable, at most a bit wide-legged seating position, she made a formidable sports tourer right from the start. Her tremendous performance, at that time still drawn from 1,298 cubic meters, made it easy-going and confident. So it was actually a travel-ready speed bike, a tame power bike.

A major overhaul followed in 2007: more stroke pumped the four-wheeler up to a full 1,340 cm³. Together with many other measures on the engine, the power increased to 197 hp, the maximum torque rose from 138 to a massive 155 Newton meters. There were also serious changes to the chassis, brakes and bodywork almost 14 years ago. In 2013, Nissin ABS and radial Brembos found their way into the absolutely inexpensive power bike. But the world kept turning, away from the Busa: super athletes came who had the same amount of power, but weighed a hundredweight less. And then Kawasaki also brought more modern competitors; after the hapless ZX-12 R, the ZZR 1400 and finally the compressor-equipped H2 SX SE. In 2017/2018, the Hayabusa tumbled out of the model range – Suzuki no longer heaved the almost 20-year-old engine over the Euro 4 hurdle.

Mechanical puzzle: Suzuki uses these parts to assemble the Hayabusa’s engine.

Euro 5 engine completely new inside

In 2021 the cult motorcycle Haybusa will be back like a phoenix from the ashes. Welcome back! Now under Euro 5. The technicians, engineers and designers in Hamamatsu picked up every component and turned it around. The basis is the old acquaintance: the frame and swingarms are like they were from 2007, and the motor housing is also experiencing its second life here. Inside, however, hardly a stone was left unturned: crankshafts, connecting rods, pistons, valves, valve springs, camshafts, gearboxes – all new or fundamentally revised. This is especially true in the periphery of the brilliant four-cylinder: the software, airbox and ram-air channels in the completely redesigned cladding have been revised. The exhaust system is also completely new. There are additional catalytic converters in the silencers. An additional interference pipe connects manifolds one and four to promote torque. Has anyone turned up their nose because the cleaner Busa is now “only” should still push 190 hp? Hello? Is still poured in abundance.

Four-cylinder sounds dull, sonorous and full

Now we have an ignition key in hand, an impressive motorcycle underneath and a great day of driving ahead of us. The design: successful, a skilful mix of curves, edges and beads. Unmistakably retained the basis, and yet sleekly transferred into the present. A statement on wheels. Majestic and a little old school. Is the currently ruling Emperor of Japan or the Queen in England a modern invention? Four pleasantly classic round clocks indicate with a self-check that they are fully operational. The digital department of the cockpit is located in the middle in between. Ready to go! The four-cylinder starts to work with a grumble, sounds dull, sonorous and full. He no longer has to prove anything to himself or anyone else, is completely self-contained.

The fully adjustable chassis gives the Hayabusa a lot of driving comfort and unmistakable stability.

Motorway, left lane, free lane

This sovereignty is carried over to the driver from the very first meter. You know: This highly elastic motor pushes everywhere and always, is always wide awake. The lowest speeds in the city are an expression of pure strength. And then it is finally there, the big moment: Autobahn, left lane, free lane, tap open. What happens then is difficult to put into words. Let’s try it: The speedometer needle rotates faster than the colleague in the tachometer. In the second half of the speed, the spit stays away, the surface-to-surface missile accelerates so effortlessly and rapidly. 240, 250, 260, the advance will not slow down. Anyone who cannot feel his heart or pulse here must be dead.

Drive the trucks backwards?

Where’s sixth gear, for heaven’s sake? It slips in with ease, without having to touch the smooth hydraulic clutch operated by a two-stage adjustable quickshifter with blipper. Fits perfectly with this concept. The bullet masters acceleration from standstill to 200 in 7.5 seconds, that’s the new, the old. Even more impressive is 10.2 seconds for pulling through in sixth gear from 60 to 180 km / h. It’s even a tad faster than before. Proof of a steady, bearish torque curve. It culminates in a massive 149 Newton meters at a mere 6,900 tours. This four-cylinder pushes just brilliantly. Your perception goes sled. Are the trucks reversing? Motto: hiss and way. Duck down, just duck down – the pane should definitely be a tad higher. Suzuki offered as an accessory.

Electronics package of the Suzuki Hayabusa

Of course, state-of-the-art 200-horsepower plus super athletes with just one kilo per horsepower at the top offer even more speed. But at most Kawasaki’s supercharged engine shakes its power out of its sleeve as casually as this 264 kilogram sumo Suzi. What the Hayabusa celebrates is nothing more and nothing less than the magnificence and magnificence of a large-volume, yet easy-revving naturally aspirated engine: purest distilled power. Three driving modes, A, B, C, have the task of taming the power. They couple power output (full or reduced) and throttle response, harder or softer, smoothed. The ten-stage traction control and an adjustable engine brake also provide assistance. Not to forget the ten-way adjustable wheelie control and three-way adjustable launch control to help with rocket launch. Thanks to the elemental force of the four-cylinder, anyone who wants can lift the front wheel in a well-controlled manner. But regardless of the complete electronics package: the real experience on the Hayabusa is the safety that its chassis conveys: it is stable and rushes through long motorway curves like a laser beam. That is because they can get terribly narrow and therefore oblique close to the 300. At a real 295 km / h, a rev limiter is sealed off. Enough.

Bridgestone S 22 R fit perfectly

The conventional, fully adjustable spring elements respond wonderfully. In particular, the carbon-coated upside-down fork is a poem that works smoothly. It doesn’t always have to be electronically regulated, i.e. semi-active. Conventional goods are also good if the basis is right. The raging falcon turns in very smoothly, majestically pulling its course. Good-natured and predictable. But a Hayabusa is, of course, no handling miracle.

Here even the most voluminous exhausts in motorcycle history are more than disgraceful glory, but an expression of the power and potency of a torpedo on wheels. New Brembo calipers are a great partner: They anchor wonderfully transparent and quite powerful, without being angry biteers. Do not forget: “Decrease in speed” is a question of survival with this motorcycle. The high-grip Bridgestone S 22 R tires with special identification work ingeniously “L.”. They combine a high level of ride comfort with great steering precision, and make a significant contribution to the first-class driving experience.

Conclusion

Is the Suzuki Hayabusa just an outdated anachronism on wheels? No certainly not. It is a commitment to motorcycling in itself: wonderfully unreasonable and highly emotional. If you don’t drive it, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. Thank you Suzuki for letting us share this experience.
