The Busa is return – New 2021-22 Suzuki Hayabusa

The 2022 model’s specification sheet might temper the excellent news for Busa supporters. There have been two different past generations of the bike, the original 1999 model [ 173hp on tap and 2008 revamp that boosted capacity from 1299cc to 1340cc and upped power to 195hp].


If you were expecting that a baker’s dozen years of development since then would lead to a similarly mighty power hike, we’ve got sad news – the 2021 model, strangled by emissions requirements, heights at 188HP (190PS, 140kW) & 9700rpm.
Having considered several options, including a six-cylinder engine, a larger-capacity four and even a turbo variant of the bike, Suzuki instead opted to keep the same 1340cc four-cylinder engine with design roots in the first 1999 model and to use the same 81mm bore, 65-mm stroke that was introduced in 2008. Made to comply with Euro-5 rules, a drop in power was almost irresistible. Torque, which earlier peaked at 113.6lbft at 7200rpm, now tops out at 110.6lbft at 7000rpm.

How much is the 2021-22 Suzuki Hayabusa?

The bike due to appear in merchants around the center of March, but we’ve had the price confirmed as $22,600. That will set it into the immediate competition by arguably its most next rival on the business today.
