Ten years on and the Hayabusa name is still globally renowned as the original benchmark of high performance bikes. So much so, that when it was first introduced, a new classification was required: Ultimate Sportsbike.

Like it's GSX-R cousin, the Hayabusa benefits from three engine performance levels, ensuring the balance of power and control on any road. It also benefits from Suzuki clutch assist, which ensures that maximum power is delivered to the rear wheel when you need that extra burst of controlled power. Class leading power to weight ratio completes the performance package, while stylish clocks give you all the riding information you need from which Suzuki Drive Mode to what gear you're in.
