Suzuki Hayabusa

Competition in the hyper sport bike segment would increase with the release of motorcycles like the BMW K1200S, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14. This increased competition would eventually lead to Suzuki heavily revising the GSX1300R for the 2008 model year. Suzuki dropped the GSX1300R designation and simply called the motorcycle the Hayabusa. The engine size was increased to 1340 cc with the compression ratio increasing to 12.5:1. The revised mill has a claimed 12% increase in power.Fuel is now fed through a pair of new 44 mm Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) throttle bodies. The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS), a technology introduced on the GSX-R line of motorcycles, provides three options of power delivery for a range of touring to wide open high performance. Some of the more notable features include a new 4-2-1-2 exhaust system meets Euro 3 and Tier 2 emission regulations, a slipper clutch, and redesigned bodywork. Performance numbers have not been released, nor has the bike been tested by print or online media publications yet.
