Test: Suzuki Hayabusa 1300: Sovereign of the Highway

Your UltraStarkes engine made the Suzuki Hayabusa in 1999 for more than 300 km / h fast flyers. Meanwhile, a domesticious sport tour has become from the impetuous muscle press.

Not only did it polarized the motorcycle world when she appeared in 1999: with over 300 km / h highest speed solved the Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa – the nickname stands for "hiking falcon" – violent discussions about the control of ultrafast motorcycles. The debate has long since ended that Hayabusa domestizes: at 298 km / h, however, as all other superbikes, electronically controlled. In addition, Hayabusa 2008 has learned a conversion: Thanks to new motors and new panel, the Superbike mutated into the high-speed sport tour thanks to new engine and new panel, and she also lost its GSX-R label. Most recently, her – finally – an ABS donated.

The AMG coupe of the motorcycles?

If we approach the Hayabusa 1300 with automobiles standards, then it is a Mercedes S 63 AMG Coupe. Abundant displacement (exactly 1.340 CCM) Serves the production of powerful power (145 kW / 197 hp). However, because good controlability and driving comfort play a more important role than extreme power values due to weight minimization, as in the mentioned four-wheeller, a naval descent, in the case of Hayabusa of 266 kilograms. This will necessarily be denied access to the league of the handling miracle. What is nothing bad, because driving pleasure not only offer an Audi R8 or Porsche 911, but also – for example – a S 63 AMG Coupe.

More than most motorcycles is the Suzuki Hayabusa a motor wheel. Your Feist Eng engine dominates the travel impressions. The four-cylinder series motor is at the same time a prime example of pressureful power output in every situation as well as for running culture. Whereby driving of a Hayabusa can be shaped despite the required 200 hp urgent: Anyone in the fifth or even sixth gear can actually complete all common traffic maneuvers in this, including local passes. Controlled turning to the throttle handle is enough, the target speed is reached again without a switching operation would have been required.

ABS standard

On the other hand, gear changes are without problems: the six-speed gearbox is a pattern of switchability, the clutch smooth and well dosed. The same applies to the recently on the highest level of brake system: Best Ware of Italy’s Kultmarke Brembo in the form of two radially hinged four-piston monoblock brake sides and powerful 310 mm brake discs Front help the Hayabusa driver for a very good braking feel. This is supported by the certainty, thanks to the previously supplied ABS wheel blockades in emergency brakes.

The chassis of the current Hayabusa 1300 also acts sovereign. For straight ahead, it is absolutely track-stable, and also in curves, it follows consistently of the targeted line. Of course, any corrections for pronounced inclination require – we do not drive a handling miracle – tailored access to the broad-shaped handlebars. Tight curve combinations are not expected to be the domain of this mighty sports tourer.

Who pilots his Hayabusa with the actually imputing sovereignty can schedule long stages, because the 21 liter tank makes little more than six liters per 100 kilometers at the 300 kilometers per 100 kilometers. The overwhelms normal-sized driver all and not at all, because the seating position is worthy of a sports tour: sporty enough for very good vehicle control and at the same time comfortable enough to fit a long time in the seat. Asphalt eating the Hayabusa can be like anyway and ever.

Incarnation of evil

For currently 14.490 Euro Suzukis Hayabusa offers a lot of driving pleasure for those who like to scoop out. The characteristic Japanese characters for the hiking folds on the side panel prevision still a special driving experience. For the full enjoyment, however, one must have a favor for a cult motorcycle, which has been the incarnation of the evil 15 years ago. That’s no longer it. First, the in-the-time Tempolimitation Action of the industry has taken the wind from the sails otherwise threatening legislative initiatives, and secondly, benefits such as Hayabusa have long become salonable.

  1. A bullet
    My hiking falcon was one of the former years of construction and I hold the GSXR for a zwitter, … provided with excellent engine, unfortunately also bock hard and in the area of the highway usually inferior. For touring is the seating position then more uncomfortable, brakes and engine remain the best on the motorcycle.

  3. Color and aesthetics
    Now play a subordinate role and lie in the eye of the beholder and are therefore hardly helpful. My experiences regarding the engine of the former years of construction are congruent, but they conceal here that the GSXR in considerable dimensions chains and pinion fragrance, every 2500 km were due.
