The other motorcycle launched is the Suzuki Intruder M1800R,
a cruiser motorcycle with a massive 1783 cc V-Twin engine. |
Today, Suzuki Motorcycle India launched two superbikes in
new Delhi, India. The Suzuki Hayabusa is an iconic superbike,
made famous in India by the improbable stunts in the movie
Dhoom. The movie was a horror, the stunts were worse, but
India came to know about that Hayabusa as the ultimate
motorcycle to own.
The Suzuki Hayabusa (earlier called GSXR1300 in some markets)
has a 1340 cc engine churning out 194 bhp that can propel it
to 60 MPH in 2.6 seconds! Note that that’s miles, not
kilometers. That would be 96.5 kilometers per hour in 2.6
seconds! Top speed is an electronically restricted 299 kmph.
The Suzuki Intruder M1800R is a 1783cc V-twin cruiser, DOHC,
54 degree, liquid-cooled, fuel injected V-twin engine
designed for strong throttle response and quick acceleration.
Maximum power produced is 125bhp @6,200 rpm and maximum
torque: 160Nm @3,200 rpm. The M1800R intruder features a
final shaft drive instead of a chain.
Introduced in 1999, the Suzuki Hayabusa is the fastest, most
powerful production sportbike motorcycle available today.
Named after a swift flying falcon, the original Hayabusa was
capable of reaching a speed of almost 200 mph. It was
designed to compete directly against the now defunct Honda
CBR1100XX Blackbird and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12 and now ZX-14
motorcycles. |
