RIDE REVIEW I 2022 SUZUKI HAYABUSA
lions of moronic social media commentators
who'll probably never ride a 'Busa anyway.
It's still far from something to sneeze at—the
2022 Suzuki Hayabusa produces 187 horse-
power at 9750 rpm and a 110 lb-ft of torque
at 7000 rpm, compared to the 2008's 194
horsepower and 114 ft lb-ft of torque.
And besides, this is no longer a bike
about pure top speed. Suzuki's beefed up
the midrange torque substantially for 2022,
ensuring the bike has more than enough go
on tap for the majority of riding 'Busa riders
will do on the street.
It's quite remarkable how a
bike that weighs near 600
pounds with a tank of gas can
get on its side like this.
Clean aesthetics
remind us of the Gen
1 Hayabusa. The gold
and black is a nod
to the past but still
thoroughly modern.
