These Bridgestone® tires use a compound and construction to help improve grip on dry roads, performance in wet conditions, and help provide greater all-round agility.Co-developed by Suzuki and Bridgestone®, the Hayabusa is shod with Battlax Hypersport S22 tires in120/70ZR17M/C (58W) front and 190/50ZR17M/C (73W) rear sizes.Seven-spoke cast aluminum alloy wheels are used to help improve grip and feel to the rider while matching the Hayabusa’s exciting styling.A steering damper attached to the frame and the lower fork bracket provide damping force to suppress unwanted vibration and steering forces, but are tuned to provide a light steering feel at lower speeds.The shock absorber has threaded spring preload adjustment collars plus rebound and compression damping force adjusters.Like the fork, the internal structure of the KYB® rear shock absorber was designed to help optimize comfort and straight-line stability.The fork’s 43mm inner tubes feature Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating to reduce friction and improve reaction to small road surface irregularities.The fork has spring preload plus rebound and compression damping force adjusters so the rider can tune the suspension response to their preference.The KYB® inverted cartridge fork has a specific internal structure to provide more compliance, further improving the suspension’s ability to absorb shocks from the road helping to ensure a smoother, more stable ride with optimum grip.Weighing 1.5 pounds (700 grams) less than the prior generation’s part, the redesigned sub-frame is made of longer rectangular steel tubing for ample weight-carrying capacity.The Hayabusa’s twin-spar aluminum frame and swingarm incorporate aluminum castings along with extruded aluminum sections that provide the right amount of suppleness and strength to its overall rigid alloy frame structure. Small, tasteful versions of the Hayabusa’s Japanese logo are incorporated on the ignition key fob, within the LED headlight housing, at the front of the accessory seat cowl, and is visible as part of the start-up animation on the instrument cluster’s TFT display.Both logos adopt highly stylized strokes and the name logo features a long cross stroke on the “H” that emphasizes a sense of speed. The Hayabusa kanji and name logos have been styled to align with the bodywork’s modern look.The gray base color provides definition to the Hayabusa’s body with red accents placed in the various intake and exhaust vents in the bodywork. Metallic Thunder Gray & Candy Darning Red occupies a space between the bright white and dark black of the other schemes. Metallic Matte Black & Glass Sparkle Black uses the offset between flat and glossy black paint to create a dark image of strength. The 2023 Hayabusa is offered in a trio of two-tone body color schemes: Pear Vigor Blue & Pearl Brilliant White form a visually stunning white motorcycle with deep blue accents in key locations that emphasize the Hayabusa’ sculpted form.
