Limited edition White Hayabusa. October 2008

The 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa features significant developments to remain at the forefront of sportsbike styling, engineering and performance, starting with its 1,340cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, four-cylinder, 16-valve engine, including Suzuki's Dual Throttle Valve fuel injection system.

Idle Speed Control (ISC) improves cold starts and maintains a stable idle, while the Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system and large volume catalyser reduce emissions.

Three different engine map settings are also available. Providing increased banking angle, cornering clearance, enhanced power and reduced noise, the 2008 Hayabusa is fitted with a new 4-2-1-2 exhaust system which includes dual, large volume, tapered mufflers.

A six-speed transmission combines with the innovative Suzuki Clutch Assist System back torque limiting clutch to deliver smooth and controlled downshifts.

Front forks are fully adjustable with spring preload, compression and rebound damping. The link-type rear shock absorber is also fully adjustable with spring preload, compression and rebound damping, contributing to the Hayabusa's sharp, sporty handling.

A new, race proven brake package tames the Hayabusa's power, with 310mm dual floating front discs and a 260mm rear disc brake. RRP $18,790.
