In 2012, Suzuki launched the GSX-1300R Hayabusa, a sports motorcycle that came with several improvements, such as a new Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), with three different engine maps available for the rider, that changed the engine character according to various riding situations and for personal performance preference.
It also included a redesigned four-two-one-two exhausts system with large-volume cans relocated for better banking, enhanced power, and reduced noise. Other redesigned features were the dashboard, new three-spoke cast aluminum wheels shod with radial tires, a relocated fuel tank, and vertically stacked headlights.
The bike featured a lightweight and rigid twin-spar aluminum frame that minimized weight and retained the high torsional strength with a cross-sectional shaped bridged aluminum swingarm that offered increased rigidity, rear tire grip, and enhanced power output.
The frame was dressed in an aerodynamic fairing that provided enhanced wind protection for both normal and tucked-in positions.
Taking a step into the figures department, the 2012 Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa packed at its core a 1340cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 196 hp at 9,800 rpm and 154 Nm with a peak at 7,200 rpm. Combined, the engine power with a wet weight of 266 kg (586 lbs) and a six-speed manual transmission resulted in a top speed of 297 kph (184 mph).
