Suzuki Australia has released its 2007-model Hayabusa with a new-look, mono-tone colour scheme and new black frame and swingarm.

"The Hayabusa was originally launched as the world's ultimate performance motorcycle and, since its arrival in Australia in 1999, it remains one of Suzuki's most popular high-powered, sports models," Glyn Griffiths, National Marketing Manager - Motorcycles, Suzuki Australia, said.

"Named after a Japanese bird-of-prey which is capable of speeds in excess of 300km/h, the Suzuki Hayabusa's exceptional powerplant still packs a punch that is hard to match and now features a sharp new look."

Incredibly popular, Suzuki's big-bore, performance machine features a 1299cc, inline-4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine with large, narrow-angled valves, compact combustion chambers and a crankshaft-driven balancer shaft.

The Hayabusa's digital, electronic fuel injection system delivers precise fuel flow and optimum combustion, while the Suzuki Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system and catalyser efficiently reduce emissions.

Designed for maximum performance, the Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) intakes, the large-capacity airbox and straight, downdraft intake tracts each contribute to a significant boost in the Hayabusa's horsepower, torque and acceleration.

Equipped with a large-capacity, back-torque-limiting clutch, the Hayabusa offers riders smooth, predictable engagement and light clutch feel.

Built with race-proven technology, the aluminium-alloy, twin-spar frame and swingarm are now painted black to enhance the '07 Hayabusa's muscular street cred.

The 43mm inverted front forks and cast aluminium-alloy piggyback-reservoir rear shock feature adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound damping.

Dual 320mm front disc brakes with 6-piston calipers and rear disc brake with dual-opposed 2-piston calipers provide the Hayabusa with substantial stopping power.

Precisely designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, the latest Hayabusa's full fairing and bodywork sports new single tone liveries in a choice of Pearl Blue, Candy Red or Pearl Black.

The 2007-model Suzuki Hayabusa is now available in Australia with a suggested retail price tag of $18,490 (inc GST) and features a two-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
