SUZUKI GSX-1300R Hayabusa ABS (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2015, Suzuki launched the GSX-1300R Hayabusa, a sports motorcycle that came a bit tweaked by the maker, even though was hard to make dramatic improvements to such a piece of machinery.

The new bike was a tad better than the previous versions, with the Brembo monoblock radial-mount front calipers that got bigger pistons for more stopping power and an increased feeling of control when braking at any speed. The standard ABS introduced yet another degree of safety and control and was the most welcome addition to this hyperbike.

In addition, the bike featured a Suzuki Drive Mode Selector that gave the rider a choice of three engine map settings that suited their personal performance style and various riding conditions. At the time of its release, the bike came with two styled color schemes, Metallic Thunder Grey with Glass Sparkle Black, and Pearl Bracing White with Metallic Mystic Silver.

The 2015 Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa ABS took its thrust from a 1,340cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that developed a power output of 196 hp with a peak at 9,800 rpm and 154 Nm (114 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,200 rpm. The massive power produced by the engine was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission and pushed the bike to a top speed of 297 kph (184 mph).
