1999. A legend was born.

Hayabusa Logo Launched to the UK public in 1999, the GSX1300R Hayabusa was an instant hit, delivering more performance in a standard road-going machine than ever before. More on the Suzuki Hayabusa
Undergoing only one major update in it's ten-year history, the Hayabusa remained faithful to its original concept.

With it's unique, timeless wind-cheating aerodynamics and incredible 1300cc engine, it's is no wonder that the Hayabusa quickly became a cult bike and the preferred choice of drag racers and top-speed record protagonists the world-over.
Over the weekend of the 10th and 11th of October Suzuki will be at Santa Pod raceway to celebrate 10 years of the iconic Hayabusa and want to invite you to join them for the fun.

The Hayabusa is synonymous with speed and power as is Santa Pod Raceway and in conjunction with Straightliners you can have the opportunity to 'Run what ya brung*' so you can see what your machine is really capable of down the drag strip.

For £30 you can run your Suzuki down the strip as many times as you like during the day and try to and reach the top spot on the Suzuki leader board. There are prizes for the fastest riders each day and the chance to win a helicopter ride for any visitors to the event. Just visit the Suzuki trailer to register.
