Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-R1300 reviews

Suzuki’s big sales pitch for the GSX-S1000F was that it shared an engine with the much-loved and hugely successful 2005 GSX-R1000 K5. So what better way to see just how close the two distant relatives are than a blast down Bruntingthorpe’s two-mile runway? And, just for fun, I also compared it to the 2015 GSX-R1000. We obviously knew my GSX-S would be down on top speed, but a true 157mph is respectable. It’s not restricted and was bouncing off the rev limiter at the end of the two-mile straight, where it was reading 167mph on the speedo. Acceleration times are impressive in comparison to Suzuki’s latest sportsbike. The GSX-S is less than half-a-second slower than the current GSX-R over a standing quarter-mile. The GSX-S is easy to get off the line and it’s the only bike of the three to come with traction control as standard, making it even easier in tricky conditions. To 100mph there’s less than half-a-second between the three bikes; in actual measurement less than two metres, which means at 100mph the GSX-S is right on the back wheel of the modern GSX-R – again, not bad for a sports touring bike. However, after 100mph the gap starts to increase. At 140mph there is a visible gap and the GSX-S is two seconds behind the new GSX-R. It just hasn’t got the power to keep cutting through the wind at high speeds. For example it takes the GSX-S 11.84 seconds to reach 140mph, by which time the new GSX-R is doing 153mph. The top gear roll-on figures for up to 100mph are also impressive and the GSX-S is not far behind either GSX-R. This equates to a useable road bike, good roll-on power and rapid acceleration to 100mph. The last measurement involves the brakes, which are a little disappointing. The ABS Brembo stoppers took 53.59 metres to haul the GSX-S up from 70mph to a standstill. However its pads and discs have done 8000 miles. Still, this was an interesting and fun test which scientifically shows how impressive the GSX-S is. Performance up to 100mph is nearly on par with the latest sportsbike and roll-on power in top gear is equally impressive.

Class leading MotoAmerica Super Stock 1000 racebike, build by the premier racing team, M4 Suzuki Team Hammer. The bike is very easy to ride, amazing handling, control, speed, braking and so much fun to ride on the track. As a race bike with a stock motor, very few race bike builds will provide a more competitive race package. This same bike build won the 2021 MotoAmerica Stock 1000 championship with Cam Petersen.

I’ve owned two Suzuki’s, GSX-R750 and GSX-S750. Whether you’re a past Suzuki owner or new to the brand, you’ve probably heard of the naked version of the legendary GSX-R750--the S750, Suzuki’s 750 Street bike. GSX stands for Suzuki’s Sport Performance series. The S in S750 stands for Street, where the R in GSX-R750 stands for Race. The Gixxer is a Supersport bike built for the Track, where the Gixxus is a Naked bike built for the Street. The Suzuki GSX-S750 is the only motorcycle in its class with an engine with Supersport lineage. It’s the performance leader in its class, slightly bigger than the other middleweights, but much smaller (engine-wise) than the upper-middleweight 900s. It’s in a class all by itself and due to outperforming the middleweights, it’s usually lumped with the 900s in comparison road tests in which it hangs with quite well, but is unfairly underrated, which makes no sense due to its 750-engine size. The Suzuki GSX-S750 is a gorgeous looking motorcycle with sharp angles, but round with curves at the same time. It has a very powerful thick stance. The S750 sports an aggressive, bold, old-school streetfighter look, not overdone like the Z900, more subdued but forceful, a look that never goes out of style – classic. Some of the obvious difference’s b/w the Suzuki and its competitors are its sharp, fang-like mono headlight, fat fuel tank, hidden tidy streetfighter-style LCD display, and standard sporty belly pan. The S750 uses a 2005 GSX-R750-sourced engine (K5), thus a race-bred inline-four. Four-cylinder engines are the best type for all-out performance. With the K5 engine, when you reach the higher rev range, it wakes up and turns into a beast. The GSX-R750 K5 engine has proven to be super-reliable over the years. Being retuned for street use, it delivers a torque-rich experience from low- to mid-range, and once you get past 6,000 rpm, the power delivery turns monstrous, revving up to its 11,500 rpm redline. The S750 is an aggressive old-school streetfighter-style bike. It is truly a best bang-for-the buck motorcycle. Greatest thing about it is its inline-4 K5 engine, smooth and tractable with linear power delivery, unlike the more vibe-prone twins and triples. People that like engine vibration call it “character” – it’s just annoying vibration to me, that’s another reason why I like four-cylinders more – due to their buttery smoothness. And I’d say that the four has better character than the twin or triple, its character is not vibration related, but its eagerness to scream under acceleration. The Suzuki GSX-S750 received a major update in 2018 (upgraded 75% of its components). It was the only time that this model was updated. So, 2018 to 2023 models are all basically the same except for color changes. I’m not going to list out all the significant changes for the 18 model, however, other than a healthy boost in power, an increase of 8-hp, going to mention the revision for sound tuning. It received a bigger airbox which gave it a meatier low-end character. The resulting intake sound is music to the ears when accelerating. It is the best sound that I’ve ever heard from an inline-4. Reminiscent of its GSX-R heritage, it replicates that great burble and growl sound that only the early GSX-R models had. About the weight of the S750, it comes in two versions, one without ABS (base) and the other with ABS (Z). Non-ABS bike weighs 465 lbs. while the ABS version gains 5 lbs. – 470. The Z trim doesn’t offer any performance, suspension, or brake upgrades – everything mechanical and electrical is the same, thus it isn’t a SE (Special Edition). The only difference is that the Z comes with ABS and flashier colors. This is true for every year except for 2023, in which both models are Z’s – one with no ABS and the other with ABS.

This bike would be most ideal for someone that has some motorcycle experience, not a newbie. Maybe you’ve had a beginner bike, like a 300, 400, 500, or 650, and you’re looking for that next step. It’s more powerful than anything below a 750, in fact it’s the class leader in its middleweight naked bike segment. You’re looking for something with more power in a do-anything bike, an all-rounder, a naked bike. You’re not quite ready for the leap into the 900 category, but you want something that can hang with the big boys if out riding with your friends. You’re not worried about having excessive technological features but want the basic minimums like traction control. You value Japanese reliability, thus want something that’s dependable, not going to have issues or concerns. * Power Specs: 113 hp @ 10,500 rpm (crank)/ 105 hp (rear wheel)/ 60 lb.-ft torque @ 9,000 rpm/ 57 lb.-ft (rear wheel).

This bike is my lifetime 20th motorcycle..About 14 dirt and 6 street. Third street suz. I got her after a 3 month search.. Wasn't looking for any specifics , just one that fit me....like an old shoe.Lucked out it was a suz which is my fav for the street... She was already 30 yrs old when I got her. All original. 2 owners. Garaged w/24k on her. 2nd owner had her 12 yrs. I asked how she rode on the fwy. He says,"I've never had it on the fwy.". Wow. Gave it a good up close examination. Just stared at it inch by inch. Took one slow lap around the block listening to every noise it made. Got back,paid the guy full asking price(1500) and we've been in love ever since. Can not wait to get home and ride everyday. I also live in Ventura Ca. where you can ride 360 days a year. Ok....I lucked out. Finally. Almost any bike cared for like mine will be awesome. Find one that fits YOU.Dont just get what your buddy has.. But you could. I've crashed around 300 times, all in the dirt when I was younger. Not once in the street,almost a couple times though. This gixxer has plenty of acceleration braking, handling and reliability than I'll ever need. Actually going to take her to the track to see what she can really do. 1.make sure it fits you 2-take a riding course, or 2 if not much experience . 3Haul butt...for very brief moments when in street if is clear. Very brief. 4 .To the track if you need more. 5.200 mph you'll need a bigger bike. 150 is plenty for me..Have fun Show less

I always had a passion for riding however, it wasn't until recently I was financially able to start enjoying the hobby. I started out on a Honda CBR500R and quickly upgraded to my 2019 GSXR600. I have always had "a thing" for white vehicles with black trim and when I saw Suzuki came out with this color option, I instantly fell in love. Not to mention, the way it feels when on it. Easy to flat foot the ground and very light which makes it a breeze to zip into curves with. In my opinion it is as comfortable of a riding position as a super sport can be. Quite honestly, it's hard for me to part with my first "real bike" however, I recently bought a 2022 ZX10R and don't have the space, or need for two bikes! If I was able to, I would keep both.. But unfortunately, I just can't. I know the next person who owns this bike will be thrilled and enjoy every minute of it - as I did. Show less
