25 years of Hayabusa: A legacy of Innovation and Unmatched performance across generations Introduced in 1998 as the Hayabusa (GSX1300R), the Suzuki Hayabusa became a global phenomenon for its high power and handling performance, coupled with its unique and aerodynamic styling.

Sales expanded globally, with Japanese domestic specs introduced in 2014 and even reached India with production & sales started in 2016.
