Since Suzuki introduced a motorcycle in 1999 that would come to define the hypersport category. The name is GSX1300R Hayabusa. Hayabusa is Japanese for the peregrine falcon, a bird that can hit over 200 mph while vertical diving for prey. Suzuki does a clever marketing title, considering one of the peregrine falcon’s prey was the Blackbird, which was the name giving to Honda’s CBR1100XX.
For 2013, Suzuki has slightly refined its Hayabusa, the GSX-R1300R arriving with ABS and Brembo Monobloc calipers. This will be the first bike in Suzuki’s sportbike lineup to feature ABS. The engine arrive with the 1340cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled inline four with Suzuki’s Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system, the engine tuned for a broad powerband.
The 2013 Suzuki Hayabusa features a lightweight twin-spar aluminun-alloy frame and 43mm inverted front forks that feature a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating surface treatment on the tubes to reduce friction and increase reaction to small irregularities on the road. Out back, the Hayabusa features a link-type coil spring. Beside that the Hayabusa features Suzuki’s Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS), which allows riders to select one of three engine maps based on performance, and a six-speed transmission with Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) back-torque-limiting clutch to deliver smooth and controlled downshifts.
To stopping the “beast“ engine the Hayabusa make Brembo Technology. This is top-of-the-line radial-mount Brembo Monobloc front brake calipers deliver better feedback to the rider. Piston diameter were enlarged from 32-30mm to 32-32mm. Larger pistons help apply greater force to the brake disc, which results in increased initial bite and a more controlled feeling. As for the discs, they are 320mm.
And for the last, The 2013 Hayabusa arrive with new feature, its new standard equipment Antilock Brake System (ABS) unit features a lightweight, compact design. The ABS enhances brake performance by helping prevent, to a certain extent, wheel locking due to changes in road conditions or excessive braking, by matching stopping power to available traction. The ABS is a supplemental device for brake operation, not a device for shortening stopping distance. Always remember to reduce speed sufficiently before approaching curves.
