Suzuki introduced the sport bike Suzuki GSX1300R,commonly known as the Hayabusa, in 1999. As its beginning the Suzuki Hayabusa was extensively look upon as the fastest production motorcycle in the world until major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers voluntarily imposed rate regulators in their bikes.
The Hayabusa gain its name from the Japanese term for the Peregrine Falcon,the fastest person on the planet with speeds in surplus of 300 km/h in itshunting dive. The Hayabusa’s 4-stroke, four-cylinder liquid-cooled 1299ccengine enables it to generate an huge peak power of 175 bhp at 9800 rpm andarrive at from 0-100 km/h in three seconds flat.
The Hayabusa’s roaring achievement prompted other motorcycle producer to
