The 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa was globally unveiled earlier this year in February. Since then, fans of the legendary motorcycle in India have been impatiently waiting to get information about the arrival of the updated model in the country. Well, their longing ends now as the 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa has finally been launched in India today.
The 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa has been priced
at INR 16.40 lakh (ex-showroom). In comparison, the previous model used to
retail at INR 13.75 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings for the new motorcycle are now
open online. Interested buyers can reserve one by paying a token amount of INR
1 lakh. The new Hayabusa will be available in 3 colours - Glass Sparkle
Black/Candy Burnt Gold, Metallic Mat Sword Silver/Candy Daring Red, and Pearl
Brilliant White/Metallic Mat Stellar Blue. Dispatches will begin from mid-May.
The gigantic 1340cc in-line 4-cylinder
engine of the 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa is a BS6-compliant motor. It has revised
intake and exhaust systems and comes with ride-by-wire tech. Suzuki has tuned
it to produce 187bhp of max power at 9700rpm and 150Nm of peak torque at
7000rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The Japanese company has
also included a bunch of advanced electronics such as multiple riding modes,
power mode selector, traction control, engine brake control, bi-directional
quick shift system, launch control, cruise control, and anti-lift control
system. The motorcycle also has a 6-axis IMU and cornering ABS.
In terms of design, the new Suzuki
Hayabusa carries the silhouette of the previous model, however, a lot of work
has been implemented in the motorcycle’s overall design to not just improve its
aesthetics but also its aerodynamic capabilities. Some of the key styling
elements include a revised taillamp, dual exhausts, rear seat cowl, tweaked
front end, etc. Suzuki has also retained the overall layout of the instrument
cluster. We have two large dials analogue dials for the rev-counter and speed,
however, between them sits a new TFT display.
