However, it won’t give you the same exhaust note or the grunt. Here’s why
The Suzuki Hayabusa (aka Dhoom bike) is an iconic motorcycle with crores of fans in India itself. Of course, not all these fans can afford the ‘Busa, so they resort to creating their own versions of the bike.
Among a sea of outrageous modifications, only a few look like the actual product and one of these has been covered by YouTuber VampVideo.
Bajaj Pulsar 220F Converted To A Suzuki Hayabusa
The build started off as a Bajaj Pulsar 220F and took nearly three months to complete. The end product is quite impressive, though, and is surely one of the most well-put-together conversions we’ve seen in a long, long time.
Right from the muscly fascia to the exact Busa-like tail end, all fairings, lights, and panels are all actual Suzuki Hayabusa parts, imported from overseas. As a result, there are no odd panel gaps and everything sits in place perfectly. In fact, everything sits so well together that a lot of people might even mistake this for an actual Suzuki Hayabusa.
Shown by YouTuber VampVideo, this conversion is one of the finest ones we’ve come across in a long, long time
Credit for this also goes to the tastefully done paint and graphic work, which is exactly like the Candy Max Orange and Pearl Nebular Black colour option of the ‘08 Hayabusa.
For the final design touches, the custom bikemaker has also thrown in twin exhausts and a removable rear seat cowl.
Oh, and to top it all off, there’s also a dual-pod, fully functional instrument cluster, same as the ’Busa. Now, that’s just crazy!
That’s not all, though, as the maker has also paid attention to the intrinsic details, making this build even more impressive. For starters, you get a dual-pod instrument cluster, the same as the gen-II Hayabusa, but with the Pulsar 220F’s blue-backlit LCD instead of the Hayabusa’s orange one.
Aesthetics aside, the conversion also includes 130/190-section (F/R) tires along with dual disc brakes and USD forks
Additionally, gone are the Pulsar 220F’s slim telescopic forks and in comes beefy USD units (sourced from a KTM), reminiscent of the Busa’s suspension. This is complemented by chunky 130/190-section (F/R) tires and dual-disc brakes at the front, rounding off the build.
Apart from all this, the bike continues to draw power from the Pulsar’s 220cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine churning out 20.4PS and 18.55Nm.
What’s The Price?

All these changes, including everything from the bodywork to the USD forks, cost Rs 2.2 lakh (without the donor bike) and will take at least three months to finish.
And in case this is out of your budget, there’s also a less-realistic variant of this modification that costs Rs 1.7 lakh.
What are your thoughts on this? We, for one, find it quite clean and enticing!
