What Total Motorcycle says about the modes and engine
Total Motorcycle explains that the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Alpha system gives a choice of three factory presets, A, B and C, and three rider-defined settings for the power mode, motion-track traction control and other aids.
The article says the engine's reduced valve overlap and a pipe on the exhaust header connecting the cylinders improve performance and control at the most common low to mid-range speeds.
The same source describes the modes: Mode 1 gives the sharpest throttle response up to maximum power for experienced riders on good road conditions, and Mode 2 gives a softer, more linear delivery for most riders on average roads.
Size and weight in context
The Hayabusa is a heavy sportbike at 582 lb curb weight, 134 lb more than Suzuki's GSX-R1000 at 448 lb, with a 58.3 in wheelbase against 55.9 in, a 5.3 gal tank against 4.2 gal and 4.9 in of ground clearance. Its seat is 31.5 in, 1.0 in lower than the GSX-R1000's 32.5 in. The front brakes are Brembo Stylema four-piston calipers on twin discs, one step above the GSX-R1000's Brembo Monobloc calipers.
The rear is a Nissin single-piston caliper. The size and long wheelbase suit a fast, stable machine.
Hayabusa against the liter bikes
At $19,699 the Hayabusa costs $3,300 more than the GSX-R1000 at $16,399 and $8,901 more than the GSX-S1000 at $10,798. Against Yamaha's R1 at $19,199 and BMW's S 1000 RR at $19,975 it is priced in the same band but weighs about 134 to 145 lb more.
Where the Hayabusa fits against its siblings
The Hayabusa is the largest of Suzuki's sport line. Its 1,340cc engine is 340cc larger than the GSX-R1000's and the GSX-S1000's. Its 582 lb curb weight is 134 lb and 110 lb more.
Its 58.3 in wheelbase is the longest, its 31.5 in seat is the lowest of the three sport bikes, and its tank is the biggest at 5.3 gal. The bike costs $19,699, $3,300 more than the GSX-R1000. Buy it for stability at speed and a comfortable position, not for agility on a track.
Modes, brakes and how to use them
The six modes let a rider start with a soft setting and move to the sharpest as skill grows. Mode 2's softer, more linear delivery is the one Total Motorcycle recommends for most riders on average roads, and Mode 1 is for experienced riders on good surfaces. The Brembo Stylema four-piston calipers on twin front discs are a top-grade brake for a heavy bike.
Hayabusa against the YZF-R1 and GSX-R1000
Yamaha's R1 is priced within $500, and Suzuki's own GSX-R1000 is the lighter, cheaper sibling.
