Japanese manufacturer Suzuki announced today the 2011 GSX 1340 R, alias Hayabusa. For 2011 the ultimate sports bike will get new colours and graphics (Pearl Mirage White wih gold trim and Pearl Nebular Black withred trim). The new Busa is powered by the same 1340cc, liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder engine.
“With performance credentials that have established it as the hottest sportbike on the planet, the Suzuki Hayabusa is designed for the serious sport rider who will settle for nothing less than the best. Its combination of unsurpassed power, crisp handling and superb aerodynamics creates the ultimate sportbike. You could say that the 2011 Hayabusa is so intense, that it’s in a class of its own,” the company states. The japanese engineers have optimized the 6-speed transmission, oil spray to the 4th, 5th, and 6th gears reduce wear and mechanical noise during highway criosing.
Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) serves as back-torque-limiting system for smooth downhifts, while the S-DMS (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector) allows the driver to choose from three different engine settings depending on riding conditions. The company also announced it is celebrating its 50th anniversary of international racing this summer.
