Now, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer has announced that the new Hayabusa will be launched in India on April 26, 2021. The new-generation Suzuki Hayabusa features an evolutionary design, new features and a re-worked engine, which now meets the Euro 5/BS6 emission regulations.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable things about the new Hayabusa is that it retains the iconic silhouette of the previous-gen motorcycle. While opinions may be divided on the new Hayabusa's styling, it still looks completely unique with the original silhouette having been re-imagine for 2021 very beautifully. The new Busa has a more aerodynamic design than its predecessor. It will not only help it achieve blazingly fast speeds but also be stable at those figures. Some of the key elements include a revised headlamp, new dual-taillamp, dual-exhausts, rear seat cowl, and more.
