It’s been 25 years since Suzuki launched its groundbreaking Hayabusa, and owners and fans can celebrate this iconic sportbike at the 2024 Hayabusa Homecoming, taking place at the NHRA finals in Pomona, California, on Nov. 16.

During the event at the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, fans will get to see Pro Stock Motorcycle and other dragracing classes racing down the quarter-mile strip. The RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki team is aiming to win its second consecutive NHRA Championship in a tight points battle, with Gaige Herrea currently leading the points standings on his Busa. Teammate Richard Gadsen will augment Suzuki’s effort on the track.

Suzuki owners who pre-register for the event and ride to the track will get free grandstand entry and VIP Suzuki parking for the event, and the first 200 to sign up will also receive a limited-edition Hayabusa Homecoming gift pack. Fans will also have the chance to meet with the Vance & Hines team in a Q&A session and witness Chris Moore of Moore Mafia showcase his 206-mph Turbo Hayabusa on the track.

In celebration of the Hayabusa’s 25th anniversary, Rider’s story “Suzuki Hayabusa, 1999-2024: Your Majesty for 25 Years” takes a deep dive into the history of the Hayabusa and how the Busa has evolved throughout the years. From the bike’s inception in 1999 with the most powerful engine in a production motorcycle to stiff competition by Kawasaki and the financial struggles of the Great Recession, the story examines how the Hayabusa adapted, evolved, and overcame all challenges to remain an icon in the motorcycling world.
