The 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa and Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT are now available in Malaysia for a price of RM111,200 and RM81,900 respectively.
2021 Suzuki Hayabusa
The 3rd-generation Hayabusa was officially unveiled earlier this year via Suzuki Motorcycle Global Salon before it was presented by Suzuki Malaysia, last month.
The third generation Hayabusa has gone through a major makeover for 2021 with a sharper and sleek exterior including an all-new electronic package.
Apart from electronic gizmos, the 1,340cc inline-four engine (now Euro 5 compliant) produces 187hp @ 9,700rpm and 150Nm @ 7,000rpm and is paired to a 6-speed transmission.
Although the numbers are lower than the previous generation Suzuki claimed the new engine delivers better power delivery at low and mid-rpm.
Major changes to the engine include revised cam profiles, redesigned combustion chamber and redesigned crankcase which helps to improve durability and improve oil lubrication.
Other major changes include a new exhaust system, ride-by-wire, and Suzuki Ram Air Direct.
The 2021 ‘Busa is packed with fully adjustable suspension units from KYB while the braking is done by the top-notch Brembo Stylema callipers with 320mm disc front and 310mm at the rear.
Suzuki also managed to inject lots of electrical aid mainly the Suzuki Intelligent Ride Suite (SIRS) managed by a 6-axis IMU which get you the following:
- wheelie control
- launch control
- engine brake control
- rear-wheel lift control
- three power maps
- hill hold control
- speed limiter
To make things fun, Suzuki fitted the Hayabusa with an up/down quickshifter and cruise control which can be set as low as 30km/h up to 200km/h.
2021 Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT
The V-Strom 1050 XT features the 1037cc 90-degree V-Twin engine, outputting 105hp and 100Nm @ 6,000rpm.
It also features a 3-selectable engine map, 3-level traction control, lean-angle sensitive ABS, load-dependent control, hill hold and most importantly, cruise control.
Suzuki also equipped the V-Strom with SIRS (Suzuki Intelligent Ride System) designed to improve comfort and practicality and also the Motion Track Brake System that helps to prevent mid-corner braking kickback.
Both of these models are now available at Suzuki Malaysia’s authorised dealership.
