Less air resistance ≒ perfect wind protection => no cold wind
Suzuki's GSX1300R Hayabusa, which debuted in 1999, embodies the concept of "Ultimate Sports" (the ultimate sports motorcycle for public roads), and still has many fans around the world as a motorcycle that is easy to ride, easy to handle, and has the largest power of any production motorcycle (at the time of its debut).
In December, the news of snowfall has arrived in many places, but in the area of the Pacific Ocean side of Kyushu from the Kanto region, if you are careful about the road freezing, and put up with the cold, you can still enjoy touring. The most important point to enjoy winter touring is windproof measures. Many people will install handlebar covers and screens on their motorcycles only in winter.
The Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa is a motorcycle with a reputation for having styling that balances wind protection and aerodynamic resistance at a high level, based on repeated wind tunnel testing (at the time of its debut, companies were battling for performance at a maximum speed of over 300 km/h for production models). In other words, it's a motorcycle that doesn't expose riders to cold winter winds.
In addition, the heat generated by the 1300 cc engine feels as warm as a heater in winter when driving down the road, let alone in summer. Thanks to the well-designed wind protection that extends to the feet, the lower part of the body does not get cold, and long high-speed riding is not a hardship. Because of the season, the route over the mountain pass is difficult in winter, but it is the perfect motorcycle for the touring route to go out to the sea coast using the highway.
The Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa is still very popular. Because of the large number of sales, it is easy to choose a used motorcycle. It is a versatile sports motorcycle that can be enjoyed touring even in winter.
