Suzuki Australia has introduced the updated 2013 Hayabusa sportsbike this week, bringing with it a strong list of improvements.
The 2013 model features several new paint schemes, along with improvements to braking components and the same $19,250 retail price (plus on-road costs) as last year.
Fittingly, the 2013 Hayabusa is the first Suzuki sportsbike to feature an Antilock Braking System (ABS), and the new model is also fitted with radial-mount Brembo monobloc front brake calipers.
Brake disc sizes remain the same with dual 310mm floating discs at the front, and a single 260mm disc at the rear.
The Japanese bike-builder says the upgraded brake package “promises tactile feedback to the rider and increased initial bite to tame the Hayabusa's incredible power.”
The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS), which gives the rider a choice of three available engine maps to suit rider preferences and riding conditions, is carried over from the last model.
A 1340cc DOHC four-stroke liquid-cooled inline-four cylinder engine will again provide the power and performance for which the Hayabusa is famous. Power remains unchanged at a very healthy 147kW, with 139Nm of torque.
The latest Hayabusa is now available in three new colour schemes; Glass Sparkle Black/Metallic Grey, Pearl Glacier White/Metallic Grey and Marble Daytona Yellow/Glass Sparkle Black.
The 2013 Suzuki Hayabusa is on sale now and is backed by Suzuki's two-year unlimited-kilometre warranty.

Nice to see motorbikes here again! The Busa is a monster, just flatten'it and everything else becomes a spec in the mirror :D
I love these. Its a shame thou the styling hasn't changed much over the years! But id still have one.
Love it. Have been a strong fan of the busa since it began production . From then till now couldn't be more impressed with the bike. Been trying to save up for one for a while. Just hoping things won't change before I can aford one. Love it:-))
Don’t expect to understand the following if you never owned a Hayabusa … I have a 2012 model. I am totally in love with my bike. She looks after me and I look after her. We make a great couple. Nothing matters when we on the road. Whatever is in the front becomes a memory in her mirrors. Some people complain about her looks, but once you own one you fall in love with the performance and soon realize that the looks compliments the performance. She is gentle and kind and very forgiving for the odd mistake I have made. Know other lady can take her place … she is my Busa lady. :D
My Boyfriend admires the amazing features of Hayabusa. He bought it in 2013.
