The Suzuki Hayabusa stepped into its third generation last year and the bike went through a major overhaul to become its best self yet. While the electronic aids and top-shelf components made the most headlines, the updated design was equally impressive. But showing that things can always get better, Suzuki has introduced the MY2023 Hayabusa with three new colors, which make the bike look as dazzling as ever.

2023 Suzuki Hayabusa New Color Options

Getting right into it, the updated Suzuki Hayabusa is now available in three new colors

- Metallic Matte Black & Glass Sparkle Black- Pearl Brilliant White & Pearl Vigor Blue- Metallic Thunder Gray & Candy Daring Red

The first color option wraps the motorcycle in an all black livery featuring both matte black and gloss black elements, making the ‘Busa look properly sinister. This color replaces the older black and gold color option.

Next, we come to the Pearl Brilliant White & Pearl Vigor Blue option. This livery covers the Hayabusa in a dreamy white base coat topped by bright blue inserts. One might even call it the same white color of MY22 Busa, only with brighter blue inserts.

Lastly, the Metallic Thunder Gray blends dark grey bodywork with contrasting deep red accents all around, which easily makes it the most striking color of the three.

Interestingly, Suzuki has also introduced a “Color Order Plan” in Japan, allowing customers to customize accent and alloy wheel colors according to their liking. This means that you can select a base color of your liking and then match it with different rim and accent colors (red, black, or blue) to help your Busa stand out. These bikes will be made on order and there’s no news on whether the color order plan will be available here, which is a bummer.

Apart from the colors, everything else remains unchanged from last year. The Hayabusa continues to produce 187 horsepower and 110 pound-feet, courtesy of its 1340cc, four-cylinder mill. The engine comes mated with a host of modern electronics, all accessible via a semi-digital instrument cluster featuring a TFT.

2023 Suzuki Hayabusa Price

Thanks to the new colors, the 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa costs $200 more, now retailing at $18,799. But even after the hike, the Hayabusa still remains a solid option for people who want to go fast, be comfortable, and look smashing while doing so.
