Since the shock of its launch in 1999, the Hayabusa has represented pure speed in the motorcycle microcosm. A permanent visa for the 300 km / h bar, while the other sports cars of the time were only temporary passports. All the superlatives have been given to it, making it go from phenomenon motorcycle to unavoidable myth..
And then, time passed, the 1000 hypersports took center stage, and recently, 2 troublemakers came to tickle the counters of the big GSX-R: a certain Kawasaki ZZR 1400 and its 193 horses, and an MV- Agusta F4 R claiming 312 km / h (Italians have their own sense of modesty). It was time for the caliph of Suzuki to set the record straight and calm these young viziers with long teeth. Time for Suz to free the road news 1300 Hayabusa.
And there, like everyone else, we rush to the images, we are impatient, we expect a revolution as was his style at the end of the last century, we imagine anything and everything, we are ecstasy in advance … and we push, almost with disappointment, an “ah yeah, not bad …!”.
No more daring, let’s limit the risks, let’s play the evolution card. The general plastic remains close to its predecessor. Enough to keep the style so intrinsic 
of the beast, while giving it more class, dynamism, smoothness. Always long and massive, the design of the “falcon” is more worked at the level of the curves, emphasizing the muscle confused in the aerodynamics. An even more thorough search for speed is revealed in a posterior cut of vicious and elegant sensuality.
A revised headlight unit, more stylish air intake vents, redesigned exhaust and fairing sides in the style of the latest GSX-Rs (in addition to softer anyway WHERE MotoId = 193; a higher bubble – little improvements spectacular but which skilfully enhance the silhouette of the fastest motorcycle in the world.
Don’t stop at her modernized dress and expect the best, heart, soul from the Hayabusa. It’s inside that it happens and it’s big…
Very big. A monument of vigor that the 4 cylinders that we have under the fairing. It was awesome in watts; it becomes exceptional in power.
With an increase of the stroke of 2 mm, the block gains 41 cm3 to display a total cubic capacity of 1340 cm3. This seriously revised boiler is fitted with titanium valves and 2 injectors per cylinder, inflates its compression ratio from 11.5: 1 to 12.5: 1, strengthens its pistons with a new aluminum alloy, and technology spades from its sister GSX-R 1000: in addition to the double butterfly intake, the 1300 GSX-R is equipped with the S-DMS electronic management system, allowing the pilot to choose between 3 engine mapping profiles.
Not suffering from any excess complex, it is with serenity that the factory claims that the engine has gained around 12% of power and torque with its improvements. We are therefore in the presence of a machine spitting a maximum power of 197.2 hp at 9,500 rpm and a staggering maximum torque of 15.81 mkg at 7,200 rpm. Enough to drool over the counters.
Manometers to measure madness. A dashboard with a strong expression was needed to control the fiery, performance and bestiality of this new bomb. A melody of needles trapping electronic control crystals, the only false note that nostalgics or speed buffs may deplore is the graduation set at 280 maximum. Crazy speed? Ask the first 1300 GSX-R owners, who could see 340 at the bottom of the dial.
Progress followed one another over the years, stopping on machines to scratch them with their virtues. Forget the 5 kgs that the bike took in 9 years (220 today) to discover the + at the chassis level: the Kayaba inverted fork accommodates 310 mm discs bitten by radial calipers, the frame and the swingarm are revised and more rigid, the seat height drops to 805 mm … more for the sake of optimized rider integration than to put the feet flat on the ground. The 2008 version is even more aerodynamic and faster than the old one..
Scheduled for the end of the year, the Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa may well become the fantasy machine of speed and radar lovers (but there, they risk smoking). The first version of this rocket was pushed to over 310 km / h by a journalist from a well-known magazine – in 2008, the machine is more streamlined and has 12% more power … all you have left is ” to imagine the flames embedded in the road after the passage of one of the most fantastic machines of motorcycle production.
