As the Hayabusa is entering its 25th year, Suzuki celebrates it with a new special edition model. Aptly called the Suzuki Hayabusa 25th Anniversary Edition, it brings a few updates over the regular versions and is currently available for order in the United Kingdom.
The official press release reveals that the new hyperbike carries an on-the-road price of £18,599 (equal to $22,657), adding that it will also be available on a 2.9% APR finance on PCP or HP.
What makes it more special, you ask? Well, the special anniversary logo on the fuel tank, for one, which was also laser-etched onto the twin exhaust mufflers. The Hayabusa 25th Anniversary has raised Suzuki lettering on the fuel tank, new glossy black trim, a standard-fit single-seat cowl, and a few other things.
Boosting its performance are the launch control with three settings, traction control with ten modes, low rpm assist, three levels of engine brake settings, and a lean-angle sensitive ABS. Riders also enjoy the easy start, hill hold, and a few other features meant to make it stand out and give them an adrenaline rush every time they put it through its paces on smooth tarmac.
Powering the new special edition Suzuki Hayabusa is the same engine that is found on the current third-gen. It is a 1,340 cc mill with four cylinders that benefits from fuel injection and is hooked up to a six-speed transmission. The output is rated at 190 ps (187 hp/ 140 kW) at 9,700 rpm, and it produces 150 Nm (111 lb-ft) of torque at 7,000 rpm. Supplying the stopping power is the Brembo twin-disc with a four-piston caliper up front and the one-piston single disc at the rear.
The hyperbike measures 2,180 mm (85.8 in) in length, 735 mm (28.9 in) in width, and 1,165 mm (45.9 in) in height, has a ground clearance of 125 mm (4.9 in), a curb weight of 264 kg (582 lbs), and a 20-liter (5.3 US-gallon/4.4 UK-gallon) fuel tank.
Besides the standard features, Suzuki is offering some options for the new Hayabusa 25th Anniversary. These are the carbon-look mirror covers, aluminum oil filler caps, colored seats, outer wheel decals, Akrapovic slip-on mufflers, tank bags, luggage hooks, touring screens, grip heaters, and others.
The current Suzuki Hayabusa is in the third generation. Its predecessor, the second generation, was made from 2008 to 2020, with a mid-cycle refresh launched in 2013 that brought ABS and Brembo brakes, while the original dates back to 1999. The model's name means peregrine falcon in Japanese, which prays on blackbirds and is the fastest bird when it comes to the vertical dive, as it is capable of achieving up to 325 kph (202 mph) during hunting.
