An additional feature of the TFT panel is a brief animation of the Hayabusa kanji character that plays when the ignition key is turned on . A second animation featuring the Suzuki logo plays before the display is turned off . Continuing the control theme , Suzuki also refined the chassis of the new Hayabusa . The frame itself is 700g lighter than the second generation bike while the suspension settings have been updated .
BRAKE UPGRADES Up front is a new version of the Hayabusa ’ s fully-adjustable KYB inverted forks with 43mm outer diameter DLCcoated inner tubes . The internal structure has been revised to further improve the forks ’ ability to absorb the road surface and ensure a smoother , more stable ride with optimum grip . In a similar fashion , the internals of the fully adjustable KYB rear shock absorber was revised to help optimise comfort and straight-line stability .
Hayabusa fans will be very pleased to see the brakes have been upgraded , the big bird now rocking Brembo ’ s latest Stylema monobloc front brake calipers . Suzuki says these new calipers increase airflow around the brake pads to cool more quickly and deliver immediate braking response , while the diameter of the front discs is increased from 310mm to 320mm and a new hole pattern adopted to further help cooling efficiency . The new Hayabusa will also launch with a full range of accessories including bikespecific luggage . The 2021 Hayabusa is expected to arrive on our shores in June with pricing to be confirmed by Suzuki NZ closer to the launch date . We think the new bike looks stunning , and if the old bikes are anything to go by , it ’ s going to be an absolute hoot to ride . Can ’ t wait .
