Positioned in Suzuki's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Suzuki Hayabusa features a 1340 cc (81.8 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 197 HP (143.8 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 155 Nm (114.3 lb-ft) at 7,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 147 HP per liter and a 2,300 rpm working window between peak torque (7,200 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Hayabusa measures 266 kg (586 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.74 HP/kg (1.35 kg per horsepower). 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 20.82-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
