Suzuki has released a teaser video for a new Hayabusa on its global and UK social media channels. Only a few glimpses of the superbike can be seen, but it's enough to get our adrenal glands pumping.
[41] [42] [44] When the new Hayabusa was released, independent tests bore this out, with 172.2 bhp (128.4 kW) @ 10,100 rpm measured at the rear wheel. [37] Suzuki's Koji Yoshiura designed the look of the new Hayabusa. He had previously styled the first generation Hayabusa, as well as the Suzuki Bandit 400, RF600R, TL1000S and the SV650.

The GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa was widely recognised as the world’s fastest production motorcycle, before the Kawasaki Ninja H2R came out, with a top speed of 194 mph (312 km/h.) Distinctive features of the Hayabusa engine are its abundance of low-end torque and strength of the components, making it the ideal powerplant for four-wheel applications.
Though smaller, Suzuki claimed that the new brakes provide better stopping and turn-in performance. The headlights of the 2003 year's GSX-R1000 were mounted vertically to enable the ram-air intakes in the front to be placed 20 mm (0.79 in) nearer the bike's centerline. The new design was very much inspired by the look of the Hayabusa.
