Suzuki Hayabusa Price Increased: Now Rs 18.06 Lakh in India

The iconic Suzuki Hayabusa price increased in September 2025, following a revision in GST for motorcycles over 350 cc. This move has pushed the ex-showroom cost from Rs 16.90 lakh to Rs 18.06 lakh for the Indian model, marking a sharp tax-driven surge of Rs 1.16 lakh. In this article, we dig into the updated price, technical credentials, and what the shift means for performance-bike buyers.

Engine & Performance

The latest Hayabusa continues to ship with its famed 1,340 cc inline-four, liquid-cooled DOHC engine. In its Indian avatar, it delivers around 187 hp (or 190 PS as often quoted) and 150 Nm of torque. Mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter, the power delivery remains smooth and usable even in highway cruising or sport riding scenarios. Its top speed is often claimed to approach 300 km/h, making it one of the benchmark machines in the hyperbike class.

Chassis & Handling

The Hayabusa rides on a twin-spar aluminum frame engineered for stability at high speeds.2 It employs USD front forks and a rear monoshock (both adjustable) to balance comfort and control. Braking is handled via Brembo Stylema twin discs up front and a Nissin single disc at the rear, along with dual-channel ABS and cornering support. At a kerb weight of 266 kg, the Hayabusa retains steady high-speed composure, though it’s a heavyweight when pushing through tight corners. 

Technology & Features

Modern electronics define the Hayabusa’s riding experience. Suzuki’s S.I.R.S. (Suzuki Intelligent Ride System) groups together multiple aids: power modes, traction control, launch control, cruise control, and cornering ABS. A 6-axis IMU monitors pitch, roll, and yaw, enabling dynamic adjustments in real time. The instrument cluster is a TFT LCD display, presenting riding modes, gear indicator, and other metrics. The 2025 update also makes the Hayabusa compliant with OBD2-B emission norms, aligning with India’s tightening regulations.

What the Price Hike Means

The Suzuki Hayabusa price increase mainly stems from the government’s revised GST slab for bikes above 350 cc, leading to the new ex-showroom cost of Rs 18.06 lakh (from Rs 16.90 lakh). Suzuki’s big-bike portfolio (including the V-Strom 800DE and GSX-8R) also saw hikes though less steep. For prospective buyers, the jump may deter some, but for enthusiasts focused on flagship performance, the Hayabusa continues to hold its appeal in riding experience vs cost.

Conclusion

The Suzuki Hayabusa price increase to Rs 18.06 lakh reflects a sharp, tax-driven adjustment rather than any mechanical overhaul. The bike still offers a potent 1,340 cc inline-four with 187–190 PS output, refined chassis dynamics, and a full suite of rider aids rooted in a 6-axis IMU and S.I.R.S. architecture. For riders seeking a high-end superbike with both highway performance and electronic sophistication, the Hayabusa remains a leading choice—now carrying a premium but backed by legendary pedigree and capability.
