Hard to believe the legendary Hayabusa has been flying through Suzuki dealerships for 25 years! To commemorate the occasion, Suzuki opened pre-orders for the 25th Anniversary Edition Hayabusa at dealership’s nationwide this week. Customers are cautioned to act fast since like its peregrine falcon namesake, the Limited Edition Busas will be gone in a flash! “The Gen 3 Hayabusa has been a tremendous sales success for our dealers and extremely well received by fans of this legendary model,” said Kerry Graeber, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing for Suzuki.
According to Suzuki lore, when the Hayabusa was introduced in 1999 it was so advanced that it created a whole new performance category: Ultimate Sport. “Almost immediately the Hayabusa GSX1300R was recognized as the world’s fastest production motorcycle. Hayabusa’s outstanding performance and nimble handling have kept it in the category’s number one position to this day!” Honoring this heritage, the 25th Anniversary Edition Hayabusa comes in a striking Glass Blaze Orange/Glass Sparkle Black color combination, reminiscent of one of the most popular Gen II model’s color palettes, set off with special red accents. Highlights for the special edition include:
* Unique 25th Anniversary emblem and raised SUZUKI logos are featured on the fuel tank.
* Elegant 25th Anniversary logos are etched on each muffler.
* Distinctive gloss black cowling trim.
* The brake rotor carriers and drive chain adjusters are gold-anodized.
* The Hayabusa Kanji logo is applied to the drive chain plates.
* The single-seat cowling is included as standard equipment.
“This beautiful anniversary version, drawing its inspiration from one of the Hayabusa’s most memorable color combinations — yet updated for modern tastes — will appeal to the next generation of Hayabusa fans,” notes Graeber. “We encourage anybody that wants one to see their dealer immediately to ensure they’re on the reservation list.”
With an MSRP of $19,599 the 25th Anniversary Edition Hayabusa is set to land in Suzuki dealerships in September.
