2024 Suzuki Hayabusa Base

2024 Suzuki Hayabusa

The Suzuki Hayabusa remains firmly in place as motorcycling’s Ultimate Sportbike. The 2024 version of Suzuki’s flagship sportbike continues to be propelled by a muscular, refined inline four-cylinder engine housed in a proven, yet modernized chassis with incomparable manners, managed by an unequaled suite of electronic rider aids within stunning aerodynamic bodywork that is distinctly Hayabusa.

Riders who have owned or longed for a Hayabusa will recognize the iconic, aerodynamic silhouette that has been polished through wind tunnel sessions so the body features vent shapes, air diffusers, and reimagined logos while a sophisticated LED lighting system becomes the zenith of style and function.

Features may include:

The Hayabusa is instantly recognizable as its wind-cheating body preserves the cues that were inspired by the peregrine falcon – the world’s fastest animal. To bring a sophisticated appearance to the iconic Hayabusa, Suzuki’s design team incorporated distinct lines and shapes to achieve an expression of refinement and ultimate performance.

The Hayabusa’s legendary 1340cc, four-cylinder, DOHC engine is fed by Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies with dual fuel injectors feeding each cylinder, mixing with pressurized air from the Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) intakes in the nose of the aerodynamic fairing. The symmetrical twin silencer exhaust system is lighter with better flow and a stimulating exhaust note.

• ENGINE

The powerful, 1,340cc, inline-four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine supplies a seamless surge of torque for effortless acceleration.

Specialized crankcase assembly hardware and a modern tightening procedure is used to increase engine rigidity and durability.

• DRIVELINE

The Hayabusa’s six-speed, close-ratio, and constant-mesh transmission can be shifted conventionally or with the bi-directional quick shift system allowing the rider to select racing-style, conventional, or casual riding clutchless shifts.

Hydraulic clutch activation further reduces the lever pull while providing the rider a good sense of the clutch’s friction zone.

• CHASSIS

The Hayabusa’s twin-spar aluminum frame and swingarm incorporate aluminum castings along with extruded aluminum sections that provide the right amount of suppleness and strength to its overall rigid alloy frame structure.

The KYB® inverted cartridge fork has a specific internal structure to provide more compliance, further improving the suspension’s ability to absorb shocks from the road helping to ensure a smoother, more stable ride with optimum grip.

• BODY & STYLING

The styling of the bodywork intentionally conveys a modern image of advanced performance and effective features, while faithfully inheriting the wind-cutting silhouette and overall look for which the Hayabusa is famous.

Beyond art, the bodywork was also developed by practical shaping during extensive wind tunnel developmental sessions so the Hayabusa’s advanced aerodynamics offer superb wind protection both for normal and completely tucked-in seating positions.
