Review
Ever since Suzuki introduced the Hayabusa, it's had only one competitor; itself. That's why the new 2008 Hayabusa is so impressive - it's even better than the original.
Building on an impeccable pedigree, the all-new Hayabusa features a number of major developments to cement its place at the forefront of sportsbike/tourer styling, engineering and performance.
Value for money
Pricing
Pricing is at $18,490 plus associated dealer and on road costs for the muscle bike of muscle bikes.
Standard features
Dual injectors per cylinder achieve reduced emissions and idle speed control improves cold starts. Drive Mode Selector delivers a choice of three different engine power characteristic settings to suit riding conditions and preferences.
A new 4-2-1-2 exhaust system includes dual, large-volume, tapered mufflers for increased bank angle and meets Euro 3 and US Tier 2 regulations. Radial-mount front brake calipers combined with smaller 310mm dual floating discs, Bridgestone BT-015 tyres, aerodynamic fairing and a lower fuel tank height to allow the rider to tuck in behind the windscreen better.
Accessories
Great, practical accessories are available for the Hayabusa. They consist of a double bubble windscreen, Zumo 550 navigator, Suzuki or Hayabusa valve caps, 33 litre soft tailbag, 900mA or 2000mA battery chargers, Suzuki or Hayabusa bike covers, Hayabusa tank cover, gel seat and a set of swingarm spools. Also available is a range of Suzuki apparel.
Design & function
Ergonomics & function
The layout of the dash looks good; it reminds me of a fighter plane with heaps of gauges giving loads of information. The mirrors worked well at any speed.
The seat is very comfortable and with a gel seat available from Suzuki, comfort would be even better. The bar height sits the rider up slightly and the brake and clutch levers are adjustable which adds to the comfort.
The only downside for people with long legs like me is the seat to footrest height. I was a little cramped and it did affect my ability to get off the bike through corners.
Build quality & finish
Suzuki builds quality products and this is evident throughout the Hayabusa. All panels and plastic parts fit together well, the finish on the paintwork looks good, the frame appears very strong and the bike gives a solid feel on the road.
On the road
Fuel
Considering how much power it offers, I thought the Haybusa would need all of its 21 litre fuel capacity to even get me a couple of hundred kilometres down the road. However, I was surprised to find that an average of 260km could be expected from the tank, and much more if ridden sedately.
Performance
Absolutely awesome is the best way to describe this bike's engine. Any gear, any speed, just twist the throttle and the Hayabusa takes off. But be sure to keep an eye on the speedo.
Gearbox
The gear ratios are well matched to the engine output and allow for a nice use of the torque in any gear. The clutch would be great if it was of the slipper type, however it did work well and offered plenty of feel.
Getting into first gear whilst stopped in neutral was sometimes difficult, requiring the bike to be pushed forward or backward to get the gear to snick in. Once moving, the gear change was direct.
Handling
I was slightly disappointed by the handling on roads that were slightly bumpy when riding at highway speeds. The turn-in was great but hitting a bump mid corner made the bike wallow. I put this down to the weight of the bike and a reworking of the suspension would most likely improve this area.
On smooth roads and any time I was going straight, the Hayabusa was very pleasurable to ride and soaked up the kilometres with ease.
Braking
The brakes did take a couple of kilometres to warm up, but once warm worked well at any speed and gave loads of power, front and rear.
Ride
The bike caused no fuss whilst riding in dense city traffic; however the weight of the bike did make it a little harder to manoeuvre around.
Out in the country the Hayabusa came into its own and revealed itself as a great sports tourer. Strong side winds moved the bike around a small amount, but nothing to upset it.
Smoothness & quietness
With dual pipes the Hayabusa is very quiet and wind noise takes over from any other sound coming from this bike.
Smoothness is all over this bike and it was easy to ride long distances with enjoyment.
Summary
Suzuki has produced an excellent sport tourer in the GSX1300R Hayabusa. The weight of the bike gives it a solid feel on the road and the fuel capacity will take you a long way.
A huge amount of power is available which makes for super smooth cruising or a full-on lightning-fast sport machine giving the rider the best of both worlds. Overall a great bike in the sport tourer category.

A great handling bike for one this heavy ( it don't get blown around by cross winds!)A comfortable cruiser tho a screen would be nice at 60mph plus. Acceleration is explosive with a very high grin factor if you are red lining this bike regularly you must have a death wish. Masses of torque but still likes a lot of revs and boy has it got some. Smooth fuel injection and no reliability problems since owned from new (7.5k miles )

Review
Suzuki GSX1400
I've just moved up to this bike from a ZX6R G2,so i've found the handling to be (erm) different!
It isn't pretending to be a sports bike so for a big heavy muscle bike it's not bad I suppose?
On the twisty bits it's faster than you think although it makes you sweat a bit getting it round them.
The motor however - OMG! Mine's standard at the moment (other than pipes)and it's just awesome arm wrenching grunt all the way through.
It doesn't really matter which gear it's in or where in the rev range, open it up and it dislocates your shoulders (lol). I've only had it 3 months and I've done a rear tyre already.
