=신차소식= 2010 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R Preview

[베이베기린(김상수)]

Introduction

A machine like this simply needs no presentation as the name says it all. It was the fastest production bike ever made before Kawasaki gave an answer to it in the form of the ZX-12R back in 2000 and it would still be that today if it wasn’t for the 186mph limitation that followed. Also, this is probably the most highly worked on and modified motorcycle ever as all the outrageous modification that passed through tuners minds would have first find their place on the Busa and then on smaller bikes.

In 2010, the Suzuki Hayabusa features the best power-to-weight ratio and presents itself as one of the sharpest looking motorcycles ever made after the 2008 redesign. Powered by the smooth-accelerating and fuel-injected 1,340cc, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine that started a revolution in its earliest form, it would seem that the drag track is the only place to exploit it, but the thing actually goes on legal roads and that’s where part of the fun actually begins. In order for that to happen smoothly, this model features the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, which is the adequate solution for different riding styles or conditions. Mated to a smooth six-speed transmission, that overwhelmingly powerful engine gets down to business in the GSX-R style.
 

The frame, swingarm and rear shock are all made of aluminum alloy for proper weight reduction while the inverted front forks are compression, rebound damping and spring preload adjustable in order to give the bike a versatile side too. On top of that, the standard steering damper is a must on the Hayabusa, but that can also be said about the radial mount front brake calipers and the 260mm rear disc. ABS is also available for extra safety.

History

 

1999 Suzuki GSX1300R

Suzuki first introduced the Hayabusa or the GSX1300R, as it was initially called, in 1999 as a hyper sport motorcycle that dethroned the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird from the “fastest production motorcycle” position. It reached a top speed of 189.6mph and the secret behind it was a liquid-cooled 1,299cc inline-four engine that developed 156hp at 9,500rpm.

But Suzuki pretty much rested on its laurels later on and enjoyed the model’s success without significantly refining it. After 2000, the top speed was electronically limited to 186mph, but that didn’t stop the Japanese maker to heavily upgrade this highly successful model in 2007. This is when the public was first introduced to the mighty 1,340cc, four-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16 valve engine that now developed 194hp. The compression ratio was increased from 11.0:1 to 12.5:1 and the 44mm Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) throttle bodies were added. Also, the GSX-R series “donated” the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS).

Although Suzuki’s hyper sport motorcycle was redesigned in 2007, the latest and biggest design upgrade came on the 2008 model year. Aerodynamics improved and the bike looks sleeker. This model carried on to 2009 with the stylish Black/Gray, Gray/Silver and White Silver color combinations.

Competition

 

2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14

Back in the days when it was first introduced, the Suzuki Hayabusa would have competed with the previously mentioned Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird and later on with the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R.

Now, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R is Hayabusa’s fierce competitor. This bike is the result of some serious development in Kawasaki’s technological department and it is actually considered the fastest production bike at this moment. No wonder, after all, it does rely on 203 hp at 9,500 rpm. Similar to the Busa, the Ninja is powered by a 1,352cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, four-valve per cylinder, inline-four engine that is as well fed through a fuel injection system with 44mm throttle bodies. Even though Kawasaki did its homework with this model, the bike seems to get uglier and uglier with each year that passes, making the Hayabusa stand for refinement and good taste. The biggest Ninja has a 2010 MSRP of $13,999.

On another hand, the BMW K 1300 S is one of the latest introductions of the German maker and, definitely, one greater opponent than the K 1200 S from which the bike is derived. In fact, by producing 173 hp and 103 ft-lb at 8,250rpm, the S model from the entirely new K series is the fastest production Beemer ever made. This one is backed up by a 1,293 cc water-cooled, four-stroke, straight-four power unit with two camshafts and four valves per cylinder. The MSRP starts at $15,550, making this bike quite the alternative for the Suzi and Kawi as it meets European style with performance that would make any Japanese hyper sport proud.

Exterior

2010 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R

From the very beginning, the Suzuki Hayabusa was designed as a speed machine and that’s also the way it is presented today, only that a little more refined. Almost a brand of its own, the bike retains the centrally positioned headlight and signal lights that are close to the air intakes as well as its characteristic extremely low mounted screen. Suzuki designers had to position the gas tank well into the frame in order for the rider to have room to tuck into the fairing, but that was an issue solved from 1999 as the Hayabusa models are very similar in design.

Heavily tested in the wind tunnel, it actually gives the idea of being molded by the wind as it hurled down the freeway. The last big redesign of the fairing was in 2008 and that is when it became more aerodynamic and stylish, but, still, it retains the design lines of that first ever model. The four-into-two-into-one exhaust system definitely makes a difference, but, yet again, the matte black colored silencer comes from the present model year.

New for 2010 are the color schemes: Black with Orange graphics, Metallic Blue or Pearl White.

Price

The MSRP for the 2010 Hayabusa is yet to be announced, but considering last year’s $13,199 in USA and the current $16,299 starting price for a 2010 model in Canada, it should yet again stand out as the ZX-14’s biggest nightmare in matter of bang for the buck.

Conclusion

As you could notice by reading this article, Suzuki doesn’t momentarily need to upgrade their greatest ever motorcycle and obtain maximum benefits from it by only offering different paintjobs in order to set the different model years apart from one another. Yet, the Suzuki Hayabusa remains a sports bike with plenty to prove and an amazing platform for tuners to test their ideas on. Congratulations Suzuki for this motorcycle!
