At the heart of the 2012 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R sport motorcycle, Suzuki utilizes a 1340 cc (81.8 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 65.0 mm (3.2 x 2.6 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Hayabusa GSX1300R measures 260 kg (573 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
