Suzuki Hayabusa- 2008

It's no secret that the Suzuki B-King is inching closing to becoming a production reality - we expect a formal announcement from Suzuki within the next two months, and the bike should be in showrooms by the end of this year.

But the bigger news is the fact that the 2008 Hayabusa will actually use the B-King's engine. Earlier speculation that the next-generation Hayabusa might use an 1100cc, inline six-cylinder engine (taken from the Stratosphere concept...) has been proved wrong. The 2008 Hayabusa will use the B-King's 1350cc inline-four, which is likely to pack more than 180 horsepower!

Other news on the new Hayabusa is that it'll have a totally redesigned chassis, fresh styling (say goodbye to the current machine's bulbous lines...), and radial brakes with optional ABS. Also, like with the 2007 GSX-R1000, the 2008 Hayabusa is likely to get rider-selectable fuel-injection mapping, which will reduce power in tricky road/weather conditions.Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R is manufactured by the leaders of automobile company, Suzuki Motor Corporation, which is considered as the fastest bike in the world. Suzuki Hayabusa is a fine combination of advanced technology and aerodynamic design that results in an unmatchable performance. The bike costs $11,099.00. It gives the complete experience of style, power and performance. The bike comes in various colors such as Black/Grey, Black/Red and Gray/Blue.
