Suzuki Hayabusa Show & Shine

Suzuki Australia is looking to transform the Queensland Raceway into a Hayabusa haven next month with a Show & Shine on Sunday, June 16.

“The Hayabusa is the true icon of high performance motorcycles and we are calling on owners from throughout south-east Queensland and northern NSW to converge on Ipswich for the 2013 Hayabusa Show & Shine,” said Suzuki Australia Motorcycles General Manager Perry Morison.

A crack team of judges has been assembled for the event, including three-time ASBK superbike champion Shawn Giles.

“We will be awarding prizes for Best Custom, Best Original (pre 2009) and Best in Show. In addition, riders Wayne Maxwell and Robbie Bugden will award a special Team Suzuki Racers’ Choice,” continued Morison. “Winners will be awarded a commemorative plaque, Suzuki goodies bag and a photographic package.

“They will also have the chance to be among the very first to get up close and personal with the new 2013 Hayabusa, and chat with Suzuki Racing’s finest.”

Named after the Japanese bird of prey capable of speeds in excess of 300 km/h, the latest iteration of Suzuki’s ultimate sports bike is the first Suzuki sports bike to feature an antilock brake system, and it is now equipped with radial mount Brembo monobloc front brake calipers.

Hayabusa riders interested in taking part in the Show & Shine must make their own way to the track and have their machines on display no later than 10:00am.

The day after the Show & Shine, the Bikesales Network will be riding the 2013 Hayabusa at the Australian media launch.
