Suzuki’s Hayabusa gets a plush makeover
The Hindu
The 2021 bike is an improvement over its predecessor in almost every manner — power, performance and style
The Hayabusa is not a bike that is easily forgotten and there are things on the new one that quickly stood out. For one, Suzuki says it now gets revised suspension tuning; while this does not sound like much, in reality, the new bike feels more sleek , and this has a big effect on our roads. The suspension has a lovely plush feel on the highway, but the bike can also swallow up bad roads in a rather unexpected manner. You do have to be mindful of the 125mm of ground clearance and protecting the rims, but this bike can be ridden on pretty much any road you point it at. Of course, this is not what this monumental motorcycle is about at all, and the original Busa was designed with only one thing in mind — speed. Now, at this point, the keyboard warriors out there will be cracking their knuckles in anticipation of moaning about how the new Busa has less power and is therefore a lesser motorcycle.
