The new Hayabusa will be available in dealers in May and will have an MSRP of $12,450. Top speed will be production-limited at 186 mph which can actually be reached in fifth gear of its six-speed gearbox. The new Hayabusa is also available with an optional supercharger, boosting its power output to 570 hp. The Hayabusa 1500SC will have the highest output of any production motorcycle by a large margin.
In addition, Suzuki announced the Dragon, a new turn-key Pro Stock Dragbike based on the Hayabusa 1500 motor that will be available through dealers this fall. Priced at just under $45,000 the bike will feature a state-of-the-art EFI system, an enlarged 1655cc motor and will be legal for NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle cl***. The prototype test machine has run a corrected-al***ude p*** of 6.98 seconds in NHRA legal trim.
“You can now buy a complete turn-key dragbike at any Suzuki dealer and be compe***ive in the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle cl***,” said Jalikacek. “This is a serious motorcycle for serious compe***ion. It was our intention to re-write the book and I feel confident that we have done so.”
