Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa 2021

The Hayabusa is an absolute legend, the first production motorbike to run at over 300 km/h cannot be dismissed as a minor matter. With the new Busa, however, Suzuki has recognised the signs of the times. The current model, with its extensive electronic equipment including cruise control as standard, is an excellent hyper-tourer. The ergonomics are still sport-oriented, but the rider sits well integrated in the machine and thus also enjoys good wind protection. The brakes are stable, the handling is fine and the chassis is wonderfully stable and mature. The icing on the cake is, of course, the huge 1340 cubic in-line four-cylinder engine, which impresses with its 190 hp alone. Even better, however, is the maximum torque of 150 Newton metres, which is felt to be available from idle speed. In terms of sovereignty, this engine is hard to beat!

The Super Adventure R presented itself as a great adventure motorbike during the intensive test in the Pyrenees. It offered a great combination of long-distance comfort and off-road capability. You won't find this combination in this consistency on any other motorbike. Above all, the chassis is tough and presented itself from its best side in tough terrain. Of course, only very few riders will actually ride this monster properly - but in rough terrain, "having" has always been better than "needing".
