SUZUKI GSX-1300R Hayabusa (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2007, the Japanese Suzuki motorcycle manufacturer launched the GSX-1300R Hayabusa, a sports motorcycle that didn't receive any technical updates over the previous years and came with the same engine and frame that featured the unmistakable fluid lines of the iconic Busa fairings.

However, Suzuki decided to deliver the bike in three new colors, which were, until 2007, reserved for the special edition models. The solid black, blue, and red liveries told the story with an even more vibrant color.

The lightweight twin-spar aluminum frame was dressed in an aerodynamic bodywork with all the fairing designed for reduced drag force and turbulence and with white turn signal lenses for a more modern appearance. Between both ram air intakes, the unique vertically stacked headlights offered a modern look with a bright and wide beam.

Inside the lightweight frame, the engine featured a fuel injection system, a high-efficiency liquid cooling system, and a large-volume four-in-one exhaust system with stainless steel pipes and lightweight aluminum mufflers.

The 2007 Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa, took its thrust from a 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 175 hp at 9,800 rpm and 138 Nm (102 lb-ft) of maximum torque available at 7,000 rpm. The engine power was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission.
