Without making major changes to the structure of the original model, the engine displacement was increased by expanding the core to extend the stroke by 2 mm, boosting its cubic capacity from 1,298 to 1,340 cm³. Maximum horsepower was increased to 197 PS. New technologies for the second generation Hayabusa include the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system, twin fuel injectors, titanium intake and exhaust valves, and the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), which allow riders to select their preferred power characteristics for medium- or long-distance trips on highways or for riding on city streets. To best balance the effectiveness of the wind-shielding performance and the aerodynamics of the bike, extensive tests were conducted in Suzuki’s wind tunnel facility covering both normal riding positions and extreme positions with the rider fully tucked in behind the fairing.
