Besides that other visual updates introduced to the Suzuki Hayabusa special edition includes a 3D brand emblem, special edition badging on the fuel tank and a seat cowl as standard.
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.
