2022 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R Review

The legend continues—a review of Suzuki’s 2022 Hayabusa hypersport bike.

Updated: September 2, 2021

Suzuki never envisioned its Hayabusa hypersport bike becoming a cult classic, but it did. Over the bike’s 22-year history Suzuki has sold more than 100,000 Hayabusa sportbikes in the US and twice that number worldwide. It’s a large enough part of the company’s history that Suzuki overhauled this hypersport bike and positioned it as the most premium streetbike offering in the new model lineup. This video review is the third in a multipart series.
