Twenty-five years, a quarter of a century, those terms express a significant amount of time in the world of motorcycling. It is more significant when realizing that the Ultimate Sportbike, Suzuki’s extraordinary Hayabusa debuted twenty-five years ago. To commemorate that seismic event, Suzuki is proud to announce the 2024 Hayabusa 25th Anniversary Model. The motorcycling world has changed in those years, while the Hayabusa remains firmly on its perch as motorcycling’s Ultimate Sportbike. The 25th Anniversary Model of Suzuki’s flagship sportbike continues to be propelled by a muscular, refined inline four-cylinder engine housed in a proven, yet modernized chassis with incomparable manners, managed by an unequaled suite of electronic rider aids within stunning aerodynamic bodywork that is distinctly Hayabusa.  Riders who have owned or longed for a Hayabusa now have a new goal; to obtain this Glass Blaze Orange & Glass Sparkle Black commemorative edition. They will recognize the iconic, aerodynamic silhouette that has been polished through wind tunnel sessions so the body features vent shapes, air diffusers, and reimagined logos while a sophisticated LED lighting system becomes the zenith of style and function. The torque-rich 1,340cc engine effortlessly delivers a strong wave of power so the Hayabusa accelerates quicker and smoother than ever before, while complying with worldwide emissions standards.  Rider control is unmatched because of the Hayabusa’s Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.). The engine’s adjustable power delivery, traction control*, cruise control, launch control, quick shift, and Motion Track ABS** and Combined Brake systems offer the Hayabusa rider unmatched options on how they want their ride to unfold. This special version of the Gen-III Hayabusa has anniversary emblems and logos placed appropriately on the motorcycle while select components have a special gold-anodized finish, and the iconic solo seat cowl is included.  This 25th anniversary edition will focus more eyes upon the Hayabusa as it remains a testament to Suzuki’s century of dedication to creating art while building the best performing product that is unmatched in quality, reliability, and value. The Hayabusa, like its namesake peregrine falcon, continues to soar above all.  *The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Traction control cannot prevent the front wheel from losing grip.**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS. KEY FEATURES The Hayabusa is instantly recognizable as its wind-cheating body preserves the cues that were inspired by the peregrine falcon – the world’s fastest animal. To bring a sophisticated appearance to the iconic Hayabusa, Suzuki’s design team incorporated distinct lines and shapes to achieve an expression of refinement and ultimate performance. The 25th Anniversary Hayabusa arrives in a striking and special Glass Blaze Orange & Glass Sparkle Black color combination that features the iconic Hayabusa Kanji symbols and name logos. Unique features of the 25th Anniversary Hayabusa include:-Unique 25th-anniversary emblem and raised SUZUKI logos are featured on the fuel tank.-Elegant 25th-anniversary logos are etched on each muffler.-Distinctive gloss black cowling trim.-The brake rotor carriers and drive chain adjusters are gold-anodized.-The Hayabusa Kanji logo is applied to the drive chain plates.-The single-seat cowling is included as standard equipment. The Hayabusa’s legendary 1340cc, four-cylinder, DOHC engine is fed by Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies with dual fuel injectors feeding each cylinder, mixing with pressurized air from the Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) intakes in the nose of the aerodynamic fairing. The symmetrical twin silencer exhaust system is lighter with better flow and a stimulating exhaust note. The Hayabusa employs an advanced version of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.); a comprehensive collection of electronic rider aids like Cruise Control and Bi-directional Quick Shift systems that can optimize and personalize the motorcycle’s performance characteristics to match the conditions and desires of the rider. Only the Hayabusa offers this premium suite of aids that simultaneously boosts performance and comfort as riders enjoy the ultimate sportbike experience. ENGINE FEATURES The powerful, 1,340cc, inline-four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine supplies a seamless surge of torque for effortless acceleration. Using techniques developed for the GSX-R1000, the crankcases have lubrication passages that provide 54% more oil flow to the crankshaft than the prior generation engine to help increase durability. Specialized crankcase assembly hardware and a modern tightening procedure is used to increase engine rigidity and durability. U-shaped cutouts in cylinder’s bores allow crankcase pressure created by descending pistons to escape to adjacent cylinders to reduce internal pumping pressure and mechanical power losses. Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder coating improves heat dissipation, durability, and ring seal. The three-ring, aluminum-alloy slipper pistons have been shaped and reduced in weight (weight of each piston was reduced by 26 grams). Conical machining at the piston pin bores improves strength and durability. The chrome nitride Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) piston ring coating is harder and smoother than conventional chrome plating, reducing friction while improving sealing to the SCEM-coated cylinder. Like the crankcase, the crankshaft has high flow oil passages to increase lubrication at several key areas. The connecting rod design that reduces weight (by 3 grams each rod) from the prior generation part while also increasing rigidity. With lower mass than the prior generation parts, the crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons reduce internal vibration, which in turn contributes to greater engine durability. A gear-driven balancer shaft is timed to the crankshaft to help minimize vibration to the engine and the rider. The design of the Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) in the cylinder head was updated in this generation engine to promote faster and more efficient burning of the fuel-air mixture. This update complements other valve train updates, increasing flow coefficient by 5% to improve combustion efficiency. The exhaust camshaft’s valve list is higher than the prior generation engine and the timing for both camshafts has been tuned to reduce valve opening overlap, boosting low- to mid-range engine performance. Wide camshaft’s lobes improve valve train lubrication and durability. Lightweight titanium valves with high-rate valve springs ideally match the camshafts to maintain accurate valve control. The cam chain tensioner design minimizes chain runout and uses a Teflon coating on the slipper surface to reduce mechanical loss. Fired by independent ignition coil-caps in each cylinder, iridium spark plugs produce more complete combustion and last longer than conventional plugs. A curved radiator with a compact, dense-core design and two ECM-controlled electric fans keep the engine temperature stable. The fairing design permits high air flow through the radiator, increasing cooling efficiency as compared to the prior generation Hayabusa. Air flow is increased by 8% when the Hayabusa is in motion and is approximately 7% better when the cooling fan is moving air during low- to mid-speed riding. To allow the cooling fans to spin down when stopping in traffic, reducing warm air flow to the rider, the cooling fan blade pitch has been optim
