The twin stainless steel exhausts are finished with black tips, and a seat cowl comes as standard.

Engine Features
- The powerful 1,340cm³ liquid-cooled, inline-four-cylinder, DOHC engine has been fully revised to supply a seamless surge of torque for effortless acceleration.
- Using techniques developed for the supersport GSX-R1000, the redesigned crankcase features lubrication passages that provide 54% more oil flow to the crankshaft for increased durability.
- U-shaped cutouts in cylinder's bores, Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM), and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), are all engineered for reducing friction and improving strength and durability.
- The lightweight design of the crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons reduces internal vibration, which in turn contributes to greater engine durability.
- Changes to the design of the Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) promote faster and more efficient burning of the fuel-air mixture.
- The exhaust camshaft's lift has been increased and timing for both camshafts updated to reduce valve opening overlap, boosting low- to mid-range engine performance.
- Lightweight titanium valves with higher rate valve springs match the camshaft changes to maintain accurate valve control.
- The redesigned cam chain tensioner minimizes chain runout and includes a Teflon coating on the slipper surface to reduce mechanical loss.
- Fired by independent ignition coil-caps in each cylinder, iridium spark plugs produce more complete combustion and last longer than conventional plugs.
- Changes to the Hayabusa's body permit higher air flow through the radiator, increasing cooling efficiency. The air flow is increased by 8% when the Hayabusa is in motion and approximately 7% when the cooling fan is moving air during low- to mid-speed riding.
- The Hayabusa is equipped with Suzuki's Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System, which provides light, natural response with linear control similar to that of a conventional throttle.
- The precision control achieved over the action of the throttle valves by leveraging the 32-bit ECM makes possible other advanced control systems, including Cruise Control, Launch Control, Anti-lift Control, the Bi-directional Quick Shift System, cold-start up and Idle Speed Control, while also simplifying service procedures.
- The electronic throttle bodies made it possible to increase the air cleaner assembly's capacity to 11.5 liters and increase air supply to the engine. The air cleaner's rigid lid and simplified internal structure enhances the intake air sound quality.
- The two Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) intake ducts in the upper fairing route high-pressure, fresh air to the air cleaner boosting performance in a linear fashion as the road speed increases.
- The Suzuki Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system introduces fresh air into the exhaust to ignite unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and reduce carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
- The exhaust system features a lightweight design and styled mufflers that complement the Hayabusa's look.
- The four-into-two-into-one-into-two exhaust system configuration adds pipes connecting the #1 and #4 head pipes to help deliver more power and torque at low- to mid-range speeds.
- The exhaust uses a two-stage catalytic converter system that positions a high-flow elliptical converter in the collector followed by a cylindrical one in each of the right and left mufflers to further reduce HC, CO, and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Dual O2 sensors provide instantaneous feedback to the ECM for smooth, clean electronic fuel injection operation.
- The Hayabusa's 6-speed, close-ratio, constant-mesh transmission can be shifted conventionally or using the Bi-directional Quick Shift System, which allows you to shift up or down more quickly and easily without operating the clutch or throttle.
- Hydraulic clutch activation further reduces the lever pull while providing you with a good sense of the clutch's friction zone.
- Oil jets in the crankcase spray lubricating oil on the fourth, fifth, and sixth gears to reduce friction, wear, and mechanical sounds during high-speed operation.
- The extended length of the countershaft accommodates the SCAS clutch, and longer needle bearings increase durability.
- Developed for the Hayabusa, the unique and strong RK GB50GSVZ4 drive chain has larger pins and rollers for reliable and quiet operation.

- Kawasaki has to step up their game with the next Zx14r if not they will get left behind with these class bikes. At least Kawasaki should change their screen.- Now it needs a chip to unlock the stupid 300 kmh speed limit..I have been riding sport bikes since '99. Started on a GSX-R 750..I believe that was the first year they were fuel injected. ( note to all new riders, I say I started on a Gixxer 750 but I started riding dirt bikes at age 6 and then went to less powerful street bikes ) I have always ridden a GSX-R but im 52 now and had a 115 mph highside years back that is starting to show everytime i go out to ride....We usually go on Sundays and its 60 miles down to a mountain top highway with virtually zero traffic and no law enforcement, but it is 52 miles of knee dragging corners...And by the time we get back to normal highway my hands and hips are killing me..Im about ready to go to a 'Busa...After years of writing them off for the twisties i finally figured out that with a little more effort on the bar that I can have just as much fun on a 'Busa as i can on a Gixxer 1000...Your not going to beat a 1000 in the corners but for my old beat up body, im willing to lose a .1 of a second per corner, i will just reel them back in on the straights...
