This bike needs no introduction, its the king of super bikes and ranks as one of the fastest manufactured bikes out there in the market. You don’t have to look much farther than the speedometer to see what sort of motorcycle this is. For starters, you couldn’t fit a hummingbird’s pecker between the 5 mph increments on the analog speedo as it takes your eyes from 0 to 185 mph. Just know that you’re probably not going as fast as it says; yet you're definitely going faster than you should be.Welcome to the Hayabusa. Same as it ever was. Big, comfy and extremely fast, i.e. a bit bi-polar.The first Hayabusa was introduced to the world as a 1999 model – named after the Japanese peregrine falcon, a small hawk generally regarded as the world’s fastest flying bird. And it took our breath away – the bike, not the hawk – but who knew back then that it would turn into one of the company’s most popular models. In 2003, the model took on some technical mods – most notably setting changes to the fuel-injection system and an upgraded ECU. In 2008 the Hayabusa got a complete makeover with new styling and a bump in capacity from 1299cc to the 1340cc it retains today. For 2013, the Hayabusa has been further refined and gets ABS for the first time as well as Brembo monobloc brakes (it had Tokicos) up front – making it a clean sweep as all the Suzuki sportbikes now feature the monobloc Brembos. The diameter of the pistons is also bigger – from 32-30mm to 32 to 32mm – thus giving more force on the disc and increased initial bite. The ABS control unit is located under the fuel tank and below the air box and the system uses sensors on both wheels to detect locking. Due to its masive power, Masive brakes, and its reputation. This sport bike enthusiast gives the 2013 Hayabusa a 5/5 stars.
