2004 Suzuki 1300 Hayabusa

Revolutionising the motorcycle world, the Hayabusa’s mission to become the fastest production bike ever made was a resounding success, dominating the top spot for eight years without any significant updates.

This beautiful 2004 Suzuki GSX 1300 Hayabusa has covered just 14,371 miles in its 20-year life and appears to have been very well cared for. It presents an ideal opportunity to own one of the most legendary and fastest production bikes ever produced.

Creating a bike capable of reaching 186 mph requires significant aerodynamic optimisation, and Suzuki made the Hayabusa as streamlined as possible to achieve this. Finished in Gloss Black, the paintwork is in excellent condition.

From the front, the smooth design of the mudguard is evident, carefully engineered to cut through the air. The mudguard and the wide fairing are in excellent condition with no cracks. The indicators and headlight lenses are similarly flawless. There are a couple of light scuffs on one of the mirror casings, but these are minor.

The substantial 21-litre fuel tank, essential for powering a 1,300cc engine over long distances, is in excellent condition with no dents or dings. A carbon tank protector is fitted to prevent scratches when leaning into the bike during high-speed riding (on private roads, of course).

The comfortable rider and pillion seats are in excellent condition with no material damage.

At the rear, the aerodynamics ensure stability at high speeds. The brake light and indicators are free from cracks or splits, and an LED alarm light is mounted on the tail.

The 17-inch satin black wheels are in excellent condition with no signs of corrosion, and Bridgestone tyres are fitted to both front and rear.

Once seated on the Hayabusa, you’ll appreciate how wide the fairing is, allowing for easy tucking behind it to minimise drag. The instruments function as they should, and the odometer shows a reading of 14,371 miles. All switchgear is in good working condition.

The grips and levers show minimal signs of wear, while the footpegs exhibit light age-related marks consistent with the mileage.

Under the pillion seat, the original toolkit remains intact.

The 1,300cc engine is the centrepiece of the Hayabusa, giving it the ability to reach a top speed of 186 mph. Coupled with a six-speed gearbox, the Hayabusa delivers a linear power curve, ensuring extraordinary performance without compromising control.

The engine fires up as expected and sounds fantastic through the carbon fibre 2T-R exhaust silencers.

There is slight wear to the clear finish on the right-hand silencer, but this is minimal.

Despite being a large motorcycle, the Hayabusa’s advanced suspension system ensures a well-balanced ride. Twin 320mm front discs with six-pot calipers and a single 240mm rear disc with a two-piston caliper provide excellent stopping power with no reported issues.

Registered on 6th September 2004, this Suzuki Hayabusa has had two previous keepers and boasts an excellent service history in keeping with its low mileage.

Now a modern classic in the motorcycle world, the Hayabusa remains a brute of a machine that any two-wheeled enthusiast should experience at least once in their riding career.

With just over 14,000 miles covered in 20 years, this is a rare opportunity to own and ride one of the fastest production bikes of all time.

We estimate this iconic speed demon will fetch between £4,000 and £8,000.
