When it started in 1999, the first generation of Suzuki Hayabusa (GSX1300R) noticed a maximum speed of mind by over 190 miles / h, making it the fastest manufacturing motorcycle in the world. Suzuki does not restrain itself on this first model-no restraint, no electronic strap, only 173 horsepower, 1,299CC built-in power through a six-speed gearbox.
Then came the “Gentleman’s Agreement” in 2000 between manufacturers to limit the maximum speeds to 186 miles / h. So, while the second Hayabusa gene (2008–2018) had an engine with waves of 1.340 cubes, constituting to 191 hp.
These were factory specifications. In the real world, however, it is known that the completely discouraged “turbo sets produce 345 hp and pushed over 250 miles / h. The better known is that in 2023, Jack Frost of Holeshot Racing put a constructed mile, which is 274.9 mph on its inner turbo-buza. Martin for 2019 from 270.9 mph for a constant mile of a huge 819 hp.

The second-generation version (2007-2018), with its processed motor, was shaved a few tenths of this, ranked 2.7 seconds for 60 miles / stagnation and sending a quarter mile in 9.7 seconds.
Launched in 2021, the current Gen. Hayabuza is more sophisticated, boasting 188 hp. And he gets more nanny for electronics than ever. Despite the slightly smaller high-end power, it still claims that a 0-60 mph clock in 3.2 seconds. Still fast enough to overtake your apologies for not getting it.
Hayabus’ speed history is as much as evolution as it is for revolution. Bit 1 was raw and unfiltered. Gen 2 brought more power but also electronic limits. Gen 3 (Current) refines the platform with sophisticated rider aids, better brakes and further supply of power, but no longer pursues the outspoken crown at maximum speed. Motorcycles like 321 hp The Kawasaki Ninja H2R are in a completely different league with forced induction and a top speed of 250 mph, but they are also not traveling. On the street, the great “bus still remains a street legally mix of rough speed and long -distance comfort, which few motorcycles can touch.
