successor Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 (Version 2008)

The Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 (also known as Suzuki GSX 1300 R ) is a motorcycle model in the sports touring and super sports category . "Hayabusa" is the Japanese term for the peregrine falcon , one of the fastest birds of prey, also used as the name for the Japanese space probe of the same name and a Shinkansen line.

This machine was the world's first production motorcycle with a speed of over 300 km / h. The aerodynamics have been optimized in the wind tunnel , which is one of the reasons for the unusual appearance. The Hayabusa ran between 303 km / h (manufacturer information) to 312 km / h (test) depending on the performance variation, driver and tire. However, the top speed is limited to 298 km / h for models built after 2001, in accordance with the voluntary self-restraint (so-called “gentlemen's agreement”) of the Japanese manufacturers and BMW.

The Hayabusa accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.7 seconds; 7.3 seconds pass from 0 to 200 km / h. These record values ​​from 1999 are still hardly broken by other production motorcycles.

Despite the enormous performance, the Hayabusa is considered a comfortable and sporty touring motorcycle for highway travelers. Due to its high weight, it is only suitable to a limited extent for driving on narrow country roads.

From the model year 2008 (see section below) the new, currently current model of the Hayabusa is available, which however has only been changed slightly visually and technically and has received a small increase in displacement and performance.

Since 2007 there has also been an undisguised variant of the Hayabusa: the Suzuki B-King . However, this model was only produced until 2011.

The Hayabusa has been equipped with ABS from Brembo since 2013 .

development

The Hayabusa has a liquid-cooled four-cylinder in- line engine with ram-air , intake manifold injection and two overhead camshafts ( DOHC ) that actuated four valves per cylinder. There is also a lambda probe and a catalytic converter for exhaust aftertreatment. The rear wheel is driven by a six-speed gearbox and an O-ring chain .

The Hayabusa was completely developed for series production in Germany at the end of the pilot series. In addition to the racetrack tests, extensive tests took place on the A 81 near Heilbronn. These tests were always carried out for other models under the leadership of Suzuki Europe on public roads near the A81.

Tire choice

In particular, the selection of the right tires, in addition to the chassis design and engine tuning, led to a very high test effort. A total of eight weeks of high-speed tests were carried out on the A 81, during which more than 120 sets of tires were worn. In addition to the test drivers Jean-Claude Richet and Roger Simmons, the driving style of test coordinator Jürgen Zürn in particular repeatedly led to the tread becoming detached. Only the Bridgestone tire installed in series production was able to withstand the loads of over 300 km / h over a longer distance.

Model history

  • 1999 - Market launch with 175 HP peak power at 9800 rpm and 312 km / h top speed as the most powerful and fastest production motorcycle.
  • 2000 - The installation of harder clutch springs by Suzuki is supposed to eliminate problems with the clutch, which can sometimes be very jerky, and the engine ventilation has been changed slightly.
  • 2001 - As part of the voluntary self-restraint of the motorcycle manufacturers, the Hayabusa is governed by speed limitation in sixth gear at 295. New instrument unit with speedometer up to 300 km / h (previously 350 km / h). New fuel pump in a new location, tank capacity drops from 22 to 21 liters, rear frame made of steel (previously aluminum).
  • 2002 - A regulated catalytic converter with a secondary air system replaces the exhaust gas purification from an unregulated catalytic converter and a secondary air system and makes the Hayabusa Euro 2 compatible.
  • 2003 - permanent driving lights plus hazard warning lights.
  • 2004 - clear glass indicators front and rear.
  • 2007 - In this model year, the Hayabusa is only available in Germany as a special GSX 1300 RZ model, exclusively in black.
  • 2008 - Heavily revised model with a new shape and a new name: "Hayabusa 1300" (see separate section below). The engine increases displacement by 41 cm³ (now 1340 cm³) and 22 HP peak power and now makes 197 HP at 9500 rpm. Radially mounted four-piston fixed calliper brakes replace the six-piston calipers. Empty weight increases from 251 to 260 kilograms, engine control unit with three freely selectable performance characteristics, G-Kat meets the Euro 3 standard. Top speed remains limited to 295 km / h.

Callbacks

  • 1999 - Replacement of the timing chain tensioner due to the risk of spring breakage (chassis numbers JS1A1111200100071 to JS1A1111200101126). This recall is considered complete. The following were also affected by the replacement: fuel tap and filter to improve the throttle response. The work was usually carried out as part of the regular inspection.
  • 2008 - Checking the ignition lock cable routing.

Speed ​​limit

A public discussion about the dangers of no longer controllable performance and speeds in motorcycles prompted Suzuki, like all other importers and manufacturers in Europe, to voluntarily restrict themselves; From 2001 onwards, an electronic control system prevents a speed of 298 km / h from being exceeded.

With the exception of the speed limit and minor changes, the Hayabusa was built unchanged from 1999 to 2007. From 2008 (see below) the Hayabusa received a small increase in displacement and an associated increase in performance.

Records

Hayabusas hold numerous top speed or acceleration records , including the FIM world record (class up to 1350 cm³, with turbocharging) with a top speed of 406.894 km / h.

The turbo-charged Hayabusa from the German company MAB is one of the fastest accelerating land vehicles with road approval. According to the test bench, it has an output of 294 kW (400 hp). The machine accelerates from standstill to 300 km / h in 13.1 seconds.

Previous model Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 (1999-2008)

At a presentation in early July 2007, Suzuki announced that the successor to the Hayabusa will be built from 2008. Among other things, the displacement was increased by 3.1% to 1340 cm³, the output rose to 145 kW (197 hp). The Hayabusa's liquid-cooled engine is thus one of the most powerful series-produced motorcycle assemblies in the world.

Among other things, more displacement, increased compression and thicker, tapered intake manifolds ensure the increase in performance. New camshafts and lighter titanium valves with larger lifts bring greater speed reserves, lower oscillating (swinging) masses and more filling. The driver-operated primary throttle has been made smaller; the second throttle valve is controlled by a power-controlled 32-bit on-board computer.

In addition to a redesign of the engine, the fairing and the tank were also heavily redesigned in order to offer the driver good wind protection even at high speeds. As in the previous year with the GSX-R 1000  , the electronics received switchable performance curves and a gear indicator. The control unit has three ignition curves ready: In addition to the A mode for maximum performance, variants B and C can also be selected. In these latter two driving programs, the injection and ignition software significantly limit the power and torque. This should be an advantage in adverse conditions such as wet roads. In addition, the Hayabusa has had an anti-lock braking system and high-performance monobloc brake callipers from Brembo since 2013 .

Reviews

“The feet rest relaxed on the driver's footrests, which are mounted quite high. The pilot and pillion can look forward to comfortable seating. Due to the long tank and the handlebar stubs, which are screwed very deeply, the pilot sits leaning forward with the corresponding weight on the wrists and the front wheel. Despite the fat 190 Bridgestone BT 56 tire, even quick changes of direction are almost playful. Directional stability, accuracy and neutrality are exemplary. The Japanese peregrine falcon just doesn't like bumps in the slope. When braking, the two six-piston calipers pinch the brake discs in an easy-to-dose manner with a convincing effect. Gasoline consumption depends on the driver's gas hand. He can decide whether 5 liters or 12 liters at full throttle are pushed through the injectors. "

- Biker scene

“The brute thrust of the four-cylinder in all speed ranges has been a legend since its debut in 1999. The elastic engine - with 1300 cm³ displacement, usually reserved for fully grown small cars - allows both types of play: indescribably adrenaline-charged gasping on mainly fast parts of the autobahn or sovereign strolling around the touring area, even with luggage and pillion, always knowing that enough power reserves are playful in tricky traffic situations are to be mobilized. The chassis of the Hayabusa is completely on the safe side. Its stability even at top speed is impeccable, there is no handlebar twitching or wobbling even at top speed. Sufficiently taut, yet comfortably adjusted, the fully adjustable spring elements iron even rough road surfaces. With the Hayabusa, Suzuki has achieved the work of art of providing a suitable workplace for drivers between 160 and more than 190 centimeters in height. "
