In 2006, Suzuki launched one more limited-edition bike, which spread the impression that someone at Hamamatsu knew how to make a bike that stands out from the crowd.
The Hayabusa was anything but an elegant bike, with its sleek, fluid, and almost voluptuous shapes, calling it elegant was something of a far stretch. Still, with the gunmetal Grey livery and accented wheels, the 2006 GSX-1300R Hayabusa Limited Edition was a real head-turner.
Nothing new was added on the tech side, so the bike featured the same blistering acceleration, sharp cornering, and decently comfortable riding position that added a dash of sport-touring vibe.
Some of the features installed on the bike were the aerodynamic bodywork designed for lower drag force and turbulence, vertically mounted headlights, and a full instrumentation panel with ultra-thin step-motor construction that included a fuel gauge, a clock, a temperature gauge, and an LCD odometer.
The 1,298cc engine featured an electronic fuel injection system, Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) plated cylinders for improved heat dissipation, and a large volume four-in-one exhaust system with stainless steel pipes complemented by lightweight aluminum mufflers.
About the power figures, the four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivered an output power of 175 hp at 9,800 rpm and 138 Nm (102 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,000 rpm.
