SUZUKI GSX-1300R Hayabusa (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2010 season saw a Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa, which carried on the upgrades introduced back in 2008. The highly aerodynamic bodywork was the unmistakable trademark of the bike, with its rounded, voluptuous shapes and aggressive sporty stance.

The thrust remained at new standards introduced by the recent power plant upgrade, which offered the most rewarding experience to skilled motorcyclists that knew what real power means.

The first GSX-1300R Hayabusa model, was listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s fastest production bike ever made, with more than 303 kph (188 mph) on the clock, and because the Japanese manufacturers had to limit their bikes at 299 kph (186 mph) due to the new regulations at the time, it made future comparison impossible.

The 2010 Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa had its heartbeat set by a 1,340cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that featured Suzuki Fuel Injection, delivered a power output of 196 hp at 9,800 rpm and 154 Nm (114 lb-ft) of torque at 7,200 rpm.

The bike registered some impressive figures such as 0 to 100 kph (0 to 60 mph) in just three seconds, 0 to 200 kph (0 to 124 mph) in just 7.3 seconds, and a top speed of 297 kph (184 mph). For stopping power, a couple of four-piston calipers pressed on two 310 mm discs on the front cast aluminum wheel, and a one-piston caliper squeezed a single 260 mm disc mounted on the rear wheel.
