Suzuki Motor Corporation has unveiled the 2026 Hayabusa Special Edition, a limited-run tribute to its flagship superbike that introduces refined styling and meaningful electronic upgrades while keeping the iconic 1,340 cc inline-four engine untouched at 190 bhp and 150 Nm. Launched globally on November 20, 2025, the Special Edition stands out with an exclusive Pearl Vigour Blue and White paint scheme inspired by Suzuki’s racing livery, a 3D Suzuki emblem, special-edition tank badging, and a colour-matched seat cowl fitted as standard.
The most rider-focused changes lie in the electronics suite. Suzuki has recalibrated the selectable throttle maps for stronger low-end torque, making the Hayabusa more tractable in city traffic and during relaxed touring. Cruise control now remains active during quickshifter gear changes, and the launch control system has been sharpened for quicker standing starts. A lighter, more compact lithium-ion battery further trims weight, enhancing the bike’s already impressive handling characteristics.
Visually, the Special Edition is instantly recognisable yet retains the aerodynamic silhouette that has defined the Hayabusa since 1999. Alongside the new blue-and-white livery, Suzuki has refreshed the standard colour palette with options including Metallic Matte Black with red accents and Glass Sparkle White with blue highlights. The third-generation platform introduced in 2021 continues to underpin the bike, complete with the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), cornering ABS, traction control, and multiple power modes.

In the UK, the Special Edition is priced at GBP 18,999 (approximately ₹22.15 lakh), roughly GBP 800 more than the standard model. Optional accessories such as a discounted Akrapovič titanium slip-on exhaust are available to further elevate performance. While Suzuki India has not officially confirmed the launch, sources indicate the Special Edition is likely to arrive in early 2026, potentially priced around ₹18.4–18.6 lakh (ex-showroom)—a modest premium over the current ₹18.06 lakh model.
The Hayabusa retains a devoted following in India, where its status as the original “speed king” and cultural icon—cemented by its starring role in the 2004 film Dhoom—ensures strong demand. With rivals like the Kawasaki Ninja H2 and BMW S1000RR pushing boundaries, the 2026 Special Edition’s blend of heritage styling and modern refinement is expected to keep the legendary nameplate firmly at the forefront of the Indian superbike segment.
