Historical Background and Technical Data

The Suzuki Hayabusa, which served as the inspiration for this model, is one of the world’s fastest production motorcycles, with manufacturing starting in Japan in 1999. Hayabusa, which means “peregrine falcon” in Japanese, earned global fame by merging state-of-the-art technology and a record-breaking top speed (over 300 km/h).
