I guess everbody is familier with this name - The Suzuki Hayabusa. This mighty motorcycle has kept its name in people's hearts for many years and still going. The Hayabusa once had the title of fastest production motorcycle. It immediately got this title when it was introduced in 1999 and it is still one of the unbeatable bikes ever. The Hayabusa can reach a fabulous top speed of 312 Kmph (194 Mph). The Hayabusa runs on 1340cc in-line four-cylinder liquid cooled engine. This mighty machine churns out a fabulous power of 197 BHP and 138.7 Nm of Torque. The Name Hayabusa is japanese for Peregrine Falcon which is fastest of all birds.

Despite of being heavy and bulky, the Hayabusa is a great ride with a refined engine and acceleration feel and feels very light while cornering, thanks to its tunnel like aerodynamics. Hayabusa uses a Monoshock Suspension with 22-way adjustable compression & rebound damping. Hayabusa also uses brembo brakes and bridgestone batlax tires which is a great combination for braking.

And a good news is that suzuki has started building Hayabusa in India, So it will cost you lot cheaper than it's main rival, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R.

The high-powered lightweight engine in the Hayabusa lends itself to non-motorcycle applications. The Westfield Megabusa is an English sports car, based on the Lotus Seven, which uses the Hayabusa engine. Suzuki was the first to put the motorcycle's engine in a car, with two concept cars in 2001, the Suzuki GSX-R/4 roadster and the Formula Hayabusa, an open wheel race car "designed for a new Japanese one-make competition series."

Radical Sportscars designed a 2.8 L (170 cu in) V8 engine based on the inline-four Hayabusa engine and using the same head design, known as the Powertec RPA V8 engine to power  their SR8 car. The 455 bhp (339 kW) sports car set the record for the fastest production car at Nürburgring.
