The Suzuki Hayabusa has reached legendary status since its introduction back in 1999. Over its decade and a half run as the motorcycle synonymous with top speed, the Busa has received updates and reboots. For 2013 the changes to the current version can be counted on your thumbs. Right thumb – ABS. Left thumb – Brembo Monbloc front brake calipers. That doesn’t seem like much when you consider the Kawasaki ZX-14R has had ABS, traction control and a 100cc displacement advantage for the past two years. However, the standard white or black 2013 Hayabusa will leave you with $600 more in your pocket in comparison to the non-ABS Ninja thanks to its $14,399 MSRP. The limited edition yellow paint scheme will leave your wallet $200 lighter, but the limited edition Kawasaki with ABS tops out $700 above that.
Powering the Hayabusa is the tried and true 1340cc mill that
cranked out 178.51 rear-wheel horsepower and 108 ft-lbs of torque on the
MotoUSA dyno last year. Suzuki’s Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) gives the rider
three power settings to suit the conditions or riding style by varying the
delivery from the Busa’s monster motor. The default A setting brings forth all
the fury on tap, while B and C lessen the sharpness and thrust incrementally.
