Price & Release Date
Canada: The 2026 Hayabusa is live on Suzuki Canada with a Special Edition and color updates. Availability is dealer-led, with MSRP shown in CAD during build/price.

Mileage (Fuel Economy)
Big-bore hypersports don’t quote EPA-style figures, but the Hayabusa’s claimed/ARAI economy is commonly ~17–18 km/l in mixed riding. With the 20.0L tank, real-world range varies with pace, but touring riders often plan around 280–350 km between fills.
Colors (2026)
- Special Edition: Pearl Vigor Blue with unique emblems and anodized muffler details (market availability may vary).
- Core colorway: Candy Daring Red / Glass Sparkle Black (Canada listing).
- Note: Prior U.S. MY2025 schemes included Glass Sparkle Black, Metallic Mystic Silver / Pearl Vigor Blue, and Metallic Matte Steel Green / Metallic Matte Titanium Silver; expect regional palettes to rotate annually.
Performance & Top Speed
The 1,340 cc inline-four continues with Gen-III tuning and extensive electronics. As with recent model years, the bike’s top speed is electronically limited to ~299 km/h, with its strength lying in relentless mid-range and stable high-speed manners rather than chasing uncapped numbers.
Interior (Rider Cockpit) & Tech
- Cluster: Analog speedo/tacho with a central TFT for SDMS-α settings and active data (lean angle, brake pressure, throttle position).
- Electronics: 6-axis IMU with SDMS-α (power modes, traction, anti-lift, engine-brake, ABS cornering), Launch Control refinements for MY2026, and Smart Cruise Control behavior carried over from MY2025 updates.
- Chassis & brakes: Twin-spar aluminum frame, fully adjustable KYB suspension, Brembo Stylema front calipers with 320 mm discs.
- Ergo & aero: Long, low stance with comprehensive wind-tunnel aero; rider-forward ergonomics refined for stability and comfort.
