2018 Suzuki Hayabusa Unveiled

In the run-up to 2017 EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy, Japanese bike maker Suzuki has unveiled the 2018 Hayabusa along with the updated GSX-R600 and the GSX-R750.

So what’s changed?

Well, nothing much has changed except for all three bikes gaining a new paint scheme. The 2018 Suzuki Hayabusa will now be available with a white and red colour scheme with white alloy wheels along with the earlier red and black scheme. On the mechanical front, it is still powered by the massive 1340cc engine that transmits 197PS of power and 154Nm of peak torque. Many riders across the world, including India, consider the Hayabusa as the Holy Grail of motorcycles. The bike, however, hasn’t received any significant update in a while. Earlier, it was reported that Suzuki would launch a turbocharged version of the Hayabusa around 2019. While Suzuki hasn’t confirmed or denied this, we can only keep our fingers crossed and hope they build it.

Meanwhile, the Suzuki GSX-R600 and the GSX-R750 also get an updated paint scheme. While the GSX-R600 is available in different colour options like silver/white, grey/red and Suzuki’s trademark blue, the GSX-R750 gets a black/red. black/grey and blue paint options.
