The new 2022 Suzuki GSX1300RR Hayabusa

After more than a decade of waiting, here it is!  The new 2022 Suzuki GSX1300RR Hayabusa.

Experts and enthusiasts will call it “The Busa”.

The vision

The peregrine falcon is the Japanese namesake of this powerful and agile beauty.

She dazzles us once again with her unique silhouette. Like the robust and fast bird of prey it refers to, it will amaze you with its power and boldness.

Have you ever experienced that feeling of plunging into the void during a dream? The one where you feel like you’re falling and suddenly you feel your body take altitude in a movement punctuated by adrenaline. That’s a reflection of the feeling you’ll get from flying the Busa.

The look

It retains an aerodynamic design that pays homage to its origins. Yet it brings a touch of grace and class with its breathtakingly majestic look.

A dizzying plunge into performance and power that it exhibits.

To meet the expectations of avid fans, it is available in two color choices.

You’ll have the option to choose the Satin Silver Metallic / Scarlet Red (B5M), or the Sparkling Black / Burnished Gold (B5L).

No matter which one you choose, you will be sure to charm observers.

It will be available at a cost of approximately $23,000 CAD + applicable taxes.

The evolution

Thanks to the redesigned electronic systems, performance will be maximized. These electronic revisions will make it easier to control, more predictable and more reliable during high-speed turns.

Its headlights, turn signals, rear combination lights and LED gear indicator with integrated turn signals are sure to captivate.

With a hill-holding system, you’ll ensure a smoother restart, without fear of the bike backing up when you start. Even the most experienced riders have felt this discomfort at one time or another when starting on a hill. Controlling the friction point with one foot on the brake and having to release exactly the right amount of pressure while feeding the throttle, while gradually letting the clutch go. Coordination management is necessarily a priority. So thank you Suzuki for the slope maintenance that will be greatly appreciated by its privileged customers.

Automatic cruise control, which is nice on long trips. Who said that comfort doesn’t rhyme with super sport bikes? Montreal / Quebec without stopping? No problem!

A 10-stage anti-lift control system to prevent the bike from lifting up when starting. It’s obvious that a beast of this power can surprise a rider who would be a little too generous and who would give a little too much pressure on the throttle.

An innovation in the motorcycle world is the rev limiter that allows you to select a maximum speed that you do not want to exceed. Yes, because sometimes we totally escape into our bubble and become one with our bike. This addition allows us to stay grounded and not exceed the limits that the law, or our personal experience, require us to respect.

Its all-new LCD instrument panel will display real-time tilt angle, front and rear brake pressure, acceleration rate and throttle position. You’ll feel like you’re flying a fighter jet.
