In 1999, And the early part of 2000, the Hayabusa was the fastest, most
powerful production bike in the world. It's 1300cc in-line four-cylinder
four-stroke engine produces a claimed 175bhp at the crank. This translates to
around 163bhp at the rear wheel. Just to put that into perspective, the R1 I in
1998 had a claimed 150bhp at the crank but actually made around 133bhp at the
rear wheel.
The bike has been designed for optimum top speed and in theory, at the redline
in top gear, tyre maker Bridgestone reckons it should be capable of 199.6mph.
The Hayabusa has double the BHP and torque compared to the CBR600. The CBR600
needs to rev to 10,000 rpm to generate the same power as the Hayabusa at 5,500
RPM The Hayabusa produces 20-25bhp more than the R1 at any given speed. At 189
miles-per-hour, you travel 278 feet in 1 second. Three miles in 60 seconds.
As they say, it isn't
bragging if it's true. So when we claim that the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R is the
fastest production bike on the planet, we're merely stating the facts. It is,
pure and simple, an engineering masterpiece that turns advanced technology and
aerodynamic design into unmatched performance. But that's not all, in addition
to the incredible performance you get from the Hayabusa, you also get an extra
large serving of style. The sleek, long, low look of the Hayabusa is unique in
the motorcycling world and is sure to turn heads wherever you choose to ride
