The GSX-1300R Hayabusa was a sports motorcycle made by Suzuki in 1999 that immediately broke the world record as the fastest production motorcycle with a top speed between 303 and 312 kph (188 and 194 mph).
Suzuki had a long and neat tradition of delivering Special Edition versions of their most popular models now and then, and in 2003 the Japanese manufacturer launched the GSX-1300R Hayabusa Special Edition, which came in a copper head-turner livery.
The Orange copper-like color painted on an aerodynamic fairing designed for low drag force and less turbulence was matched by a black-finished frame and a black swingarm.
In the power department, the compact engine was fitted with a gear-driven counterbalancer for smoother operation and an electronic fuel injection system. It also featured Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) plated cylinder for minimized size and better heat dissipation.
The 2003 Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa Special Edition packed a 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, which delivered an output power of 175 hp at 9,800 rpm and 138 Nm (102 lb-ft) of torque at 7,000 rpm, sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission.
The twin-spar aluminum frame, packed a fully adjustable inverted telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable link-type suspension on the rear, while the braking power was provided by a couple of six-piston calipers with two 320 mm discs on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper on the rear.
