Has Suzuki nailed it with the Dhoom bike’s pricing?
- The 1340cc engine now makes 190PS and 150Nm.
- Gets a sophisticated electronics suite.
- Deliveries will commence mid-May onwards.
Three months after its global debut, the 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa has finally launched in India at a mouth-watering price of Rs 16.4 lakh (ex-showroom). Laying rest to the rumors, the bike is being brought via the CKD route from the get-go, allowing for an aggressive price. Bookings began at select showrooms a few days after the global unveiling, and its deliveries will start from the second week of May. The new ‘Busa will be available in Glass Sparkle Black/Candy Burnt Gold, Metallic Matte Sword Silver/Candy Daring Red, and Pearl Brilliant White/Metallic Mat Stellar Blue. India is one of the few markets where the bike is available in the white paint job.
For the first time, the Dhoom bike gets a new and comprehensive electronics suite, including 10-level traction control, 10-level wheelie control, three-level engine brake control and launch control, and the new Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS). The SDMS allows the rider to choose between six modes (three presets and three customisable). Completing this package is the new bi-directional quickshifter and hill assist control.
The third-generation Busa has got a massive design overhaul. From the headlight and rear-view mirrors down to the exhaust system -- everything has been thoroughly redesigned. To know all the changes from the outgoing model, read this story.
Suzuki has not made any substantial change to the 1340cc inline-four motor other than making it BS6-compliant. However, the greener engine now produces 190PS at 9,700rpm and 150Nm at 7,000rpm, a whole 7PS and 5Nm less than the older model. The 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa continues with the twin-spar aluminium chassis, but gets a new subframe. Even the KYB fork and monoshock have been carried over from the older model but with revised internals.

Dropping the anchor on the new ‘Busa are bigger 320mm discs paired with top-of-the-line Brembo Stylema callipers up front and a Nissin calliper at the rear. Despite all these changes, the new ‘Busa is only 2kg lighter.
At its price point, the 2021 Hayabusa is Rs 2.65 lakh more expensive than the outgoing model. The ‘Busa locks horns with the BMW S 1000 RR (Rs 19.50 lakh). But if you are looking for a motorcycle with stunning performance figures, you could consider the Triumph Rocket 3.
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
