The Suzuki Hayabusa special edition is available at an approximate price of GBP 18,599 in the UK, which translates to approximately Rs. 21.55 lakh.

Suzuki Hayabusa special edition: Key changes

Suzuki has revamped the selectable throttle maps of the bike to enhance its low-end torque generation capability. This results in stronger acceleration in everyday riding conditions, making the Suzuki Hayabusa much easier to handle in congested city traffic or while touring as well.

Another key change made to the Suzuki Hayabusa is the cruise control system, which has been refined. As compared to before, the cruise control system now stays active during the gear shifts, when rider uses the bi-directional quickshifter. Also, the auto OEM has tweaked the launch control system of the Hayabusa for quicker take offs.

The company has also updated the lithium-ion battery onboard the motorcycle by replacing it with a more compact and lightweight unit, which results in weight reduction, adding more improved handling for the rider.
