Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R Motorcycle Review
There is nothing like a Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R. Riding position, styling, performance, handling, reputation no other two-wheeler gives the same overwhelming sensation of endless, immeasurable, gushing speed.
And Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R’s engine that stands proud: a monumental engineering gem that seamlessly blends manners and usability with enough ludicrous, undiluted performance to scramble your brain by halfway through the six clean-shifting gears. Third does everything: from mindless dawdling round town at 30mph, eyeing up yummy mummies to indicating 60mph at the test track and smearing the landscape into a three-year-old’s painting. Pointless? Definitely. But fantastically life-affirming a neat shot of the gloriously outrageous in our cotton wool world.
There’s such a deluge of drive even the ZZR feels lacking and the BMW peaky and harsh next to Suzuki’s transcendent long-stroke might. Power-to-weight wise it’s behind a GSX-R1000 or Fireblade but with vast torque anywhere in the rev range nothing gets near its fluid, instant clout. For most of us it brings a new meaning to effortless power. For those with Bruce’s feel and balance, it means 100 yard black lines out of every corner. And a new tyre within 1000 miles.
