Suzuki Hayabusa: the lively progression of the new generation [VIDEO]

The powerful acceleration of the new Suzuki hayabusa is highlighted in a video visible on YouTube.

Shooting and speed

As reported at the beginning of the video proposed by Suzuki Moto Italy, the video was shot by a professional driver on the circuit.
The motorcycle is equipped with a four-cylinder inline engine 1.340 cc. Considering the Euro 5 standards, an exhaust system equipped with a new compensation duct between the manifolds stands out, also contributing to the thrust expressed at low and medium revs. Reached a maximum power of 190 horses (140 kW) at 9.700 rpm and are indicated 150 Nm of torque at 7.000 rpm. The maximum speed is self-limited to 299 km/h.

The motorcycle

A model immediately distinguishable by its aerodynamic design. In particular, the front area recalls the profile of a "peregrine falcon", the name of the model translated from the Japanese language. A streamlined prospectus with a raised tail that seems to anticipate its lightning-fast shot. In the sharp front area there is an elongated Multi-LED headlight unit flanked by position lights which include the directional indicators. Also distinctive are the rear-view mirrors, the silencers with a lighter weight of over 2 kg compared to the previous ones, the colors and the new seven-spoke wheels. Two liveries indicated: Black/Gold e Silver/Red. In Italy the model is marketed with single-seat covers for the passenger seat and carbon look mirror caps. The rider appears integrated into the shape of the vehicle, considering the handlebars set back 12 millimeters and a saddle placed at 800 mm.

Technique and technology

The model features a lightweight double-spar frame and aluminum swingarm, developed by alternating extruded components with others made by casting. There is also a lightened seat support frame. The weight distribution is 50:50 between front and rear.
Among the interesting aspects is also the instrumentation, visible in the foreground in the video. A new one stands out TFT LCD display between analogue indicators of the tachometer and speedometer and various warning lights. The screen shows the current settings of the SDMS-α system or the Active Data display including longitudinal acceleration, degree of throttle opening, lean angle and pressure applied to the front and rear brakes.
We note a speed limiter, the “Fissaillimite” (Active Speed ​​Limiter) system allows you to set a speed limit, avoiding the risk of going beyond what is established. A solution also used in MotoGP during the return to the pits.
Also listed are a Cruise Control System and other solutions such as “Discesanostoppie” (Slope Dependent Control System), “Frenainplica” (Motion Track Brake System), “Partiarazzo” (Launch Control System – 3 levels), “Segnalainchiodata” (Emergency Stop Signal ) and “Spuntofacile” (Hill Hold Control System).

The electronic overview also highlights a six-axis inertial platform. The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Alpha (SDMS-α) allows a choice between three set driving modes and three other customizable ones, with automatic variation of the operating logic of five listed systems: Traction Control (Motion Track Traction Control System – 10 levels + off); “Manage power” function (Power Mode Selector – 3 levels); Bidirectional Quick Shift System (Bidirectional Quick Shift System – 2 levels + off); “Giùlaruota” anti-wheelie system (Anti Lift Control System – 10 levels + off); “Engine Brake Control System” (3 levels + off).
Optimization of the calibration of the 43 mm KYB upside-down fork and also that of the KYB rear shock absorber was also indicated, based on overall stability. Both adjustable solutions. The braking system includes four-piston Brembo Stylema® front calipers with 320 mm discs, with a Combined Brake System. Finally, the use of Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 tires is highlighted.
