High-performance motorcycle fans have a new reason to be excited. The legendary Suzuki Hayabusa, already famous for its power and futuristic design, has been elevated to an unprecedented level.
We present the SuperBusa Kevin Schwantz Edition, an exclusive version of the iconic Hayabusa that combines nearly 400 horsepower with a tribute to legendary rider Kevin Schwantz, 500cc world champion.
The Rebirth of a Legend
Revealed at Motorcycle Live, this special edition is a masterpiece created by TTS Performance UK. More than just a motorcycle, it’s a declaration of power and advanced engineering. Inspired by the Hayabusa’s third generation, the SuperBusa stands out not only for its stunning performance but also for its nostalgic design that recalls the memorable white, red, and gold colors used by Schwantz on his Suzuki RGV500.
Although the Lucky Strike sponsorship has been replaced by the classic kanji meaning “strong and fast”, the spirit of competition is present in every detail of this limited edition.
An Out-of-This-World Engine
At the heart of the SuperBusa is a turbocharged engine modified by TTS Performance. Equipped with a Rotrex supercharger, the engine offers an impressive 385 horsepower and 258 Nm of torque. This two-wheeled monster reaches speeds that defy imagination: 350 km/h in top speed tests and a quarter-mile completed in just 8.35 seconds at 286 km/h.
Details That Make the Difference
The motorcycle excels beyond its engine. The SuperBusa incorporates a series of innovations that make it truly unique:
- Single-sided swingarm: Beyond enhancing the futuristic design, it facilitates rear wheel access and reduces weight.
- Rotobox Bullet wheels: Made of carbon fiber, they provide lightness and agility, with subtle red accents that match the color scheme.
- Advanced braking system: 330 mm StopTech discs at the front ensure safe and precise braking, essential in a machine that easily surpasses 300 km/h.
- Extensive use of carbon fiber: From wings to air intakes, each component was designed to maximize performance and reduce weight.
Exclusivity and Price
Owning a SuperBusa is a privilege for few. Only 40 units will be produced, each personalized to the buyer’s taste. The base price is 30,000 pounds (about 35,000 euros, without taxes and without the original motorcycle). For those wanting the Schwantz edition, the value can rise to 60,000 euros.
With a 16-week wait for delivery, this motorcycle is not just a vehicle; it’s a collector’s piece that symbolizes the pinnacle of engineering and a tribute to racing history.
Whether to dominate racetracks or to display a moving work of art, the SuperBusa Kevin Schwantz Edition redefines the limits of what’s possible on two wheels.
