Photos of the All-New 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa

Friday April 4, 2008
2008 Suzuki Hayabusa

At $11,999, the 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa is one of the greatest performance bargains on the planet, and this year's improvements give it serious ammunition against rivals like the Kawasaki ZX-14.

For twelve grand, this restyled 'Busa boasts an even larger and more powerful 1,340cc engine with ram air intake and S-DMS (like Suzuki's GSXR-1000), beefier inverted forks and stronger brakes, redesigned instrumentation, and a whole lot more.

For photos of this all-new bird check out our 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa photo gallery, and stay tuned for our full review.

Typical Suzuki…nice bike…superior to Kawasaki in terms of quality. Never cared for the styling though.
The Blackbird was a much nicer bike….didn’t make it in the market though because of the short sighted, blinder wearing North American riders…that’s to say it wouldn’t go 300kph….a sluggish 285 was the best it would do.

On a slightly different note..THE SNOW IS GONE - SPRING IS HERE!! It’s almost warm…
The V-Twin serenade is alive and well. Went for a ride yesterday and today..life is good again.

Congratulations, Pete– sounds like your weather’s finally caught up with 95% of North America!

Enjoy riding, but don’t be a stranger :)
