The iconic Suzuki Hayabusa finally received a substantial mid-life update for 2021 which included new looks, a host of electronics and better hardware. The bike was unveiled globally on 5 February and expected to be launched in India in the coming months. Fast forward a few weeks and the brand has already started teasing the bike via its social media channels, hinting that it isn’t far away from its official India launch. Our sources suggest the bike may be launched by May-end or early June 2021.
It’s expected to be priced around Rs 18 lakh to Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom) since it'll be imported via the CBU route initially. The 2020 Suzuki Hayabusa, for reference, was priced at Rs 13.75 lakh (ex-showroom). Interested customers can book the bike (unofficially) for a token amount of around Rs 2 lakh - 5 lakh, depending on the city.

The India-spec Busa will of course see a couple of alterations to comply with Indian laws. This may include the much-despised saree guard, a front-mounted number plate holder and rear-view mirror-integrated turn indicators.
It’s powered by the same 1340cc inline four-cylinder motor which now complies with BS6 emissions, but makes less power than before. It produces 190PS and 150Nm, 7PS and 5Nm less than its predecessor. Suzuki says the internals of the engine have been reworked for better refinement, improved low-end grunt and reliability. The bike also gets a bi-directional quickshifter, cruise control, and ride-by-wire as standard.
Other notable updates include better brakes, tyres and aerodynamics. We’ve already covered all the updates in depth which you can read about here.
Suzuki Hayabusa User Reviews
- Long distance ride with Comfort & High-performanceI chose the bike because I really like the brand, it's iconic style and its powerful performance. It also feels comfortable and stable on the long ride, which makes a great choice for me. As Hayabusa is one of the better choices amongst the high-performance sports bikes for long rides. It's comfortable and relaxed sport-touring position. The stability in the highway is excellent as it is planted and smooth. the engine is quite powerful and effortless to overtake, downside about is in the traffic it gets hot and is heavy as it gets tiring sitting in the posture for several hours. Yes, I would definitely recommend the Suzuki Hayabusa to someone who is looking for powerful, stylish and comfortable bike. the reason I would recommend it is its combination of performance and long-distance comfort. The iconic design stands out on the road and its stability. It is more comfortable than many other high-performance sports bikes. However, I would recommend it mainly to experienced riders because it is a heavy and powerful bike, it can be difficult to handle in heavy city traffic, and maintenance, fuel and running costs.Read More3 3
- SUZUKI HAYABUSAI choose it because it offers a rare blend of breathtaking power, refined handling and everyday comfort. The hayabusa is not just a bike it is an experience, combining performance, reliability and style in a way that makes it feel special. The ride so far is soo thrilling and super comfortable. The stability at high speed inspires confidence and the handling feels refined making both highway cruising and sharp turns enjoyable. I really loved it. Yes i would suggest hayabusa if your priorities match what it does best. If you are looking for high performance superbike than it is a great pick. But if you mostly ride is slow city traffic it may not be the practical choice.Read More11 8
- Dream bikeObviously the aura , nostalgia and looks, when we talk about bikes and speed the first name that comes up is Hayabusa , it's looks and new design is more attractive than before , power and torque is also very good The ride was superb but as my personal, I'll prefer the bike should have the better mileage as well , sometimes it's feel like it's taking unnecessary fuel also when you're driving in minimum speed or same speed. For show off or fame if you're buying this bike so it is the waste of money but you're a real rider knows much about the bikes and engine so once you definitely prefer this bike even it's not under budget for many but still you'll prefer this oneRead More1 2
- Cons of the bikethis bike is way too heavy for a person and the average maintenance cost is about 12k per year and the steering radius is way too small plus if this bike falls down that's an immediate cost of around 53k. i personally would not recommend this bike until or unless you are way to muscular to handle a heavy duty bike or want to break your arms while taking u-turns.Read More6 14
- Baap level bikeGood but not for middle man 😅 Power & Highway Thrill Riders often say that once you’re past city speeds, the Hayabusa shines. Stable at high speed, very strong acceleration, and the feeling of being in control even at 140‑160 km/h is frequently praised Comfort for Long Rides Despite being a super sport cruiser, many find it surprisingly comfortable for long highway trips. The seating posture, wind protection, suspension soak up big road undulations better than many pure track‑focused bikesRead More5 4
