With the next-generation Suzuki Hayabusa officially
confirmed a new image of the motorcycle has come up in a Japanese magazine
which might be the first accurate look at the sports tourer.
The Hayabusa will retain its bulky appearance but
will be considerably lighter than the outgoing version. The bike is also set to
gain a plethora of riding aids. Suzuki can be expected to go overboard with the
new Suzuki Hayabusa and include fully adjustable and active suspension setup at
both ends. The braking system could be shared with the 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000.
The powertrain can be expected to be a new unit. The
present generation Suzuki Hayabusa, which is assembled in India, is powered by
a 1,340 cc four-cylinder mill coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. The engine is
capable of producing 197.14 PS of maximum power at 9,500 rpm and 155 Nm of peak
torque at 7,200 rpm.
The LED
daytime running lights and headlamp design have aggression reeking from it. The
air intake design has the same language and the tall windscreen will be a boon
during high-speed riding. The exhaust canister too has the same shape as that
of the concept.
