This is the 2014 update of the second generation Hayabusa. The ‘Peregrine Falcon’ needs no introduction to most bikers, not to mention its monstrous 1,340cc liquid-cooled DOHC in-line four-cylinder. For 2014, Suzuki’s expression of the ‘ultimate sports bike’ is updated with ABS brakes and a set of new high performance Brembo Monobloc calipers. Said enhancements are set to improve the Hayabusa’s highway and touring capabilities.

The GSX1250FA is also primed with a six-speed transmission designed to deliver a wide spread of power across the rev range, promising smooth acceleration, high power delivery, and exceptional long-distance riding capability.
