Speak about motorcycling legends and the Suzuki Hayabusa has to rate among the stars. Quick a decade and a half ago, so it was the bike that blitzed past the 300kmph limit.
Thanks to Bollywood movie–Dhoom–where the villain jumped the bike off a cliff at the end, the motorcycle has gained celebrity status in India. Since the Hayabusa was one of the best selling large bikes in the world, Suzuki has been reaping their rewards.
Suzuki announced in December 2019 that Hayabusas’s final lot had made its way into the world. Such few units of the symbol sold out, bringing an end to the popularity of the Hayabusa in India.
The 1340cc inline-four potter not revised to Euro 4 emission requirements by Suzuki. The Japanese bike manufacturer. However, able to market the bike in India because they adhered to BS4 rules.
Unfortunately, the engine won’t get upgrades to help it meet BS6 requirements. So Suzuki brought just a handful of units to the region.
On the 2020 iteration, there was no change in power output, with the engine making the same 195PS and 155Nm as before. It did, however, have two new options for lighting and redesigned front brake calipers.
When you’re disheartened to lose the chance to buy a brand new Busa, we’ve got some good news for you.
While this current model won’t see the light of day until Euro 5 and BS6 standards kick in, Suzuki won’t ax the symbol altogether.
For a while now, the company has been working on a new Hayabusa model, with patent photos of the machine emerging online.
Suzuki is unlikely to go the forced induction way with the next-gen Busa like Kawasaki and the supercharged Ninja H2. But instead, adhere to the normal acceleration of the engine.
