2022 Suzuki Hayabusa Review - Better than a superbike?
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2022
- Suzuki's Hayabusa is an iconic motorcycle, and has just been updated in the era of Euro5 restrictions. So what's new, what's the same and did Suzuki do enough?
It's been almost 10-years since I last tested the Hayabusa and the package is very similar, with some mod-cons bringing the bike into the modern world. That's a full electronic suite, a TFT display between the analogue clocks.
The incredibly planted feel remains, as does exceptional handling, a suspension setup that splits sport and touring, some heavy duty brakes, and of course that gem of an engine. Smooth, powerful and offering unbelievable acceleration, what made the Hayabusa such a success remains.

About braking system on this new Busa. Don't forget that it has a combined front/rear one when braking with front lever
Good point!
So you're telling me that the bike puts breaking on the rear lightly when dealing with just the front brake lever?
@@grimey5.565 Yes. Same system as Honda Pan European years ago. This adds stability when braking.
@@roy4359 Yep this is it.
@@grimey5.565 I believe the Honda Blackbird circa 1998 had linked brakes also. I’ve ridden those bikes and personally I couldn’t tell that partial rear brake came on when the front brake was applied. I remember quite split opinions on dual braking especially from those that thought they were riding gods, they would have you believe that it would upset the bike if the front brake was applied mid corner. However I read some technical reports on these linked systems from people with real skills and technical knowledge. Several maintained that it actually achieved the opposite and created a more stable braking situation especially when cranked over. Plus in addition many people including myself often only apply the front brake in an emergency situation. Although the lions share of braking is through the front wheel. Providing the rear wheel isn’t off the ground the rear brake will contribute to shortening the overall stopping distance when combined with the front brake. I said above that I couldn’t really tell a proportion of the rear brake was being applied but I can say without contradiction that when needing to rapidly slow down from 3 figure speeds the bike remained perfectly on track and I never experienced any rear end squirm. Back then there was very little intervention from the bike so perhaps that’s why that system got an underserved rap, however these days we are almost just pilots on our bikes having so many other things happening in milliseconds making our biking safer [hopefully] I don’t think I’d want a bike without ABS these days or traction control. If linked brakes were not worth having they wouldn’t be fitted and Brembo would likely steer clear. I’m currently trying to buy a gen3 Busa here in the IOM but my dealer does not have one. He’s telling me that sparkle black/orange is no longer available. He says that glossblck/Matt black is available now but the bike looks bland with no contrast. Therefore I am ordering storm grey with daring red which s available in November. However November is only 4 weeks away from December. It would seem more sense at that point to wait a few more weeks for the new bike and have it registered as a 2023 bike instead of 2022. However i then might face 2 new problems 1. Suzuki may raise the already steep price in the new year and the possible double whammy my dealer may drop the agreed px price due to my bike technically being a year older although in reality it would only be a few weeks. Why does the rider always get mm. I’m taking my bike to him next week and see if he will hold a price until the first week in January., when I hopefully pick upas the new beast.
Only just saw this vid! I've had my 2022 black Busa for about a year, I got one of the first ones in Australia.
All the big stuff on this bike is superb; power, suspension, cornering, stability, electronics, quality etc. You can tell Suzuki REALLY cared about this bike it is premium.
The things I don't like are all little stuff; it leans over too far on the stand, it is awful to push around especially on grass, it gets hot on the legs in stop start city traffic, reach to the bars is just a bit longer than perfect comfort (for me). But like I said, little stuff.
The ECU mapping wont give the bike full throttle until 5000 rpm (re Chris Moores videos) so under 5000 it is a real gentle pussycat grandma could ride it. Above 5000 wow watch out!
I rode litre bikes for a lot of years and this is not a racetrack bike. But to be fair I would probably pick a 750 as a track bike anyway these days...
And it is not a good commuter bike for city traffic. But on the open road it is fantastic, good comfort, classy ride and massive speed, more like a GT car class... like a proper high speed long distance touring car.
I thought long and hard before plonking down $27k but I am very happy! That engine is something, the changes they made boosted the midrange about 10% in power for the gen3. As a comparison, even though peak hp is similar to a modern litre bike a Yammy R1 at 5000 rpm makes 65 hp. The gen3 Busa at 5000 rpm makes 120 hp! Think about that for a moment. And then it just goes up from there, if you compare the dyno charts that might help litre bike guys understand why I chose the big girl.
It is not all about minimum weight and fastest flickability, it is about brutal power when actually TRAVELLING and that weight irons out all the bumps and makes it super stable.
I said to my mate, "Imagine a litre bike, and the Incredible Hulk f#cked it... and then it gave birth to the Busa"
It's half sport bike, half hulk.
That's it, there's a few big bike downsides, but really the usability and performance is just ridiculously good, especially compared to many of the superbikes which boast similar power. How the Hayabusa puts it down is something else, and it's a great tourer too.
Love your videos, simple and effective 👍🏼
I bought my 22 Busa a couple of months ago on an impulse when I went to look at another CBR and I have to say, it is my favorite bike I've ever owned. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I fell in love with it. The features it comes with "out of the box" are insane and it definitely draws attention and sparks up conversations wherever I take it. I'm a small guy at 5'10" and 130lbs, so moving around a 600lb bike in my garage or backing up is hilarious. The only thing I don't think you mentioned was the quick shift that comes stock. Being able to not worry about the clutch when you want to take off like a jet is great and the transition between gears is so smooth that you don't even feel the shift if you do it right. My only complaint so far, is there's very little options when it comes to aftermarket parts since the bike is still pretty new, but those parts will come in time.
I found the quickshifter a little clunky, but I may not have been giving it enough throttle, it was still good overall though. Having to wait for accessories is a bit annoying, but you know there will be plenty eventually, just because of the popularity of these machines.
Hey jayy I was going to ask you about the quick shifter man I wish I had one I have a 2005 GSXR Hayabusa bought it brand new man this bike is killing me the transmission is so clunky I want to Quick shifter how is it the stock one now or if this one for this bike that you would recommend people tell me when people having problems with it they're Switching gears early you have to keep the RPMs up I don't know if that's true or not would appreciate any feedback you have cuz I'm getting tired of Switching gears with this clunky transmission other than that I love the bike it's my second busa
@@richardcerritelli9657 The quick shifter does feel clunky if you're just shifting at normal speeds / RPMs. If you quick shift under 4,000 RPM, it shifts hard. The quick shift isn't really meant to be used when you're just out for a stroll or in stop and go traffic, you really need to be giving it some gas for it to operate properly. I live in the country so I'm always taking off like a jet so I use the quickshifter 90% of the time and never have any issues. Also a side note, people think you still have to release the throttle when you quick shift and you don't. You still roll the throttle while shifting.
I'm 5'4 145lb. You should see me on any bikes 😆
Congratulations! You chosed stunning bike ✌️
Great review, thanks!
Great review thanks - am hoping to arrange a test ride soon.
Great 👍review fam keep rocking 👏👌👍
Great review! You’ve definitely captured the essence of what the bike is about. A refined beast with a revered history. Definitely want to throw a lime over and take one for a ride!
Thanks!
Nice and honest Review.
Thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Nice review, Kris. Not the bike for me but I have much respect for this machine and for Suzuki's continued evolution & production of the Hayabusa. I like the combo analog clocks and TFT/LCD screen.
Yea I think it's a cool machine like that!
Why isn't this bike for you.
Great review
Cheers!
Nice video kris,I had a gen 1 busa and I love it so I could only imagine a gen 3.and to all the Rossi you don't need200 hp to enjoy a motor cycle!! Love busa😁
I said kind of the same to a guy here not long ago was saying that legally I should never be out of 3rd gear...
I said sure, if you like your engine screaming at 10,000 RPM.... my BUSA does 90 kph @ 3000 RPM in 6th gear... Local Highways are 90, 4 lanes are 110 ...
Do I really want to go 320 kph at 11,500RPM ... no... can I... surely LOL but I want to keep my ears as well as my life...
What I like, is , when people try to block me from entering a highway, and i look over and say... BYE BYE .... and jump in front of the guy he just bumper locked to block me.... sukkkas

@@kylewashington5567 I bought a brand new 2020 ZZR1400. Better than a gen 1 or 2 Hayabusa in every way.
I have just bought a brand new 2023 'Busa so looking forward to comparing the two bikes. From what I see so far the addition of cruise control is (for the riding I do) an absolute godsend. Don't pick up the Hayabusa for a couple of weeks, but sure looking forward to riding it.
I don't understand why people buy a bike for street riding and start to complain it does not have over 200 horsepower. The busa has about 95% of horsepower and gets the 186mph that modern Japanese bikes are limited to.
However, I can understand having over 200 horsepower so one can run into a car traveling at the speed limit since the bike is not designed to stop in time.
Love it! Bought one!
great review 👍🏼 another thing to consider with any busa is its a great platform for customization. whether you want to do a performance build or show bike, the aftermarket is huge.
Looks stunning in this colour
The small red details really give the bike some punch in the silver. Looks better in person than I managed to capture in video too!
Forst of all like this review. It,s honest. I never been to attracted to the Hayabusa until now. I ride a 2012 BMW K 1300s. So it’s quite similar do to the big engine it has. That’s also where the similarities stop between the two. Things that attract me to this bike are the double exhaust pipes, the analogue gages, durability and so on. 🧐. I might go for a test ride. Thanks for sharing your view.
Good review Chris ,yes i bought one and yes its as good as you say ,for the right rider this is nirvana.
It took me 25 years to get used to the look and now I can’t wait for next season to pick up my very own Hayabusa after 35 years/seasons in the saddle
I do reckon the latest gen looks a bit better, sharper lines overall, where the older versions were a bit more bulbous. I remember thinking it was a strange machine first time I saw one, but came to really like the bike.
Clutch on my Gen 2 was heavy until I had the cable replaced with a braided line. Difference was night and day. Would love a Gen 3 of course!
Love my 2004 Hayabusa ... I started with a 2002 Suzuki SV650S, i called my Half-a-busa ... I still love the SV too, but if I'm going out on the road, I'm takin the big gurl, not the screamer 😁
Good review 👍🏼. I bought it in black. Perfect highway machine. By the way what riding jeans do you have on they look good. 👍🏼
It looks great in the black! Those are Dririder Rapid jeans, starting to look a bit faded after three years I think it's been, but still in good condition.
Very good review. Thank you.
Had a 2007 Hayabusa. Loved it. Sold it 4 years ago.
Since then had two Kawasaki ZX14R's - currently on a 2016 one. Very good bike. Love it too.
But hankering after a Hayabusa again.
2022 or 2023 one may be the bike for me.
Those ZX-14Rs are awesome too, but a very different machine to the Hayabusa in some ways!
Great video man. Fantastic review.
Thanks!
I just took the delivery of the same exact one today🥳
Congratulations!
@@MotoJournoKrisThank you ☺️
Weird how the Hayabusa ended up being the best all-rounder motorcycle.
I just came from the shop looking at one. And I found the clutch is really light compared to some older bikes I have ridden.
It'll definitely depend on what you're used to, all things being relative.
I’m looking to buy one. I Might just grab it. I’ve been lucky enough to ride one. A fantastic and crazy smooth experience.
I think they really surprise a lot of people just how good they are!
@@MotoJournoKris you’re right about that. That’s why I’m itching to go check one out next week.
Hay Kris!! How about some info on the boot you are wearing! Cool
Those are my Xpd XP3-S motorcycle boots, really rate them as they've held up over a number of years well. Just looking a bit ragged now. I had a video up a few years on them: czcams.com/video/CswKgRSdMnc/video.html
I wish the position was a little more upright and footpegs a bit lower and of course electronic suspension would be been icing on the cake ❤️
Yea, a little more open and relaxed an ergo would be really interesting, as it is quite a sporty machine.
@@MotoJournoKris 👍
Máquina top.✌️🇵🇹
You mention about the extensive engine braking, there is a mode in which the amount of engine braking effect can be altered or even switched off.
I prefer more engine braking unless we're talking V-twin levels, so I can use it and knocking down through the gears for decel, generally speaking.
Really good review. Just one question. How does it go over long distance. I'm 41 and although I love the sport bike look my body says no. I leaning towards the super naked bikes like the Ducati streetfighter or the Aprilia tuono but have always had a soft spot for the buses?
I'd say much better than a sportsbike in most regards comfort-wise, but the 'bars are still relatively low compared to a Streetfighter or Tuono. I think long distance you'd be tucked in, so in that scenario if you're a good fit, you might actually find it more comfortable than some nakedbikes. The trade-off is for the more casual riding when you're sitting up more that's less of a benefit. Might also come down to whether you're feeling like you're having to look up too much when you are tucked in, which could cause a bit of neck strain.
I'm 60 and have no issues riding until the tank needs to be replenished. It is nowhere near as extreme as super-sports. Best thing to do is take one for a test ride for an hour or so....
I don't mind engine braking even that on a previous 1198S I found that with practice I learned when to start rolling off to the point where most of the time I didn't need to use the front brake. It will be interesting to see what this system Suzuki have put in place on the Busa functions. I dont even know how they have achieved this, perhaps they have a motorised flap in the exhaust manifold that can incrementally be opened and closed dependant on the setting the rider has engaged?
Good question, it does seem to be far more common on many of these higher tech machines these days. If it's like the MotoGP systems it might be an interaction between fueling and the throttle butterflies.
This and the ZX14R are far more capable than people give them credit for. Yeah, they aren't as nimble as an R6, but they make up for it in straight line performance, comfort and stability.
I took my new ZX14R to a track day yesterday and it was a blast...
Exactly, for the road I'd be happy to trade off the strengths of the R6 for those benefits on something like a Hayabusa. If I just did track days maybe not, but that's certainly not the case!
@@MotoJournoKris I had my ZX14R on track this weekend, and while the R6 was more nimble in the turns, I was able to pass anything out there on the straights. I don't think a bike passed me the entire day... Some would catch me back up in the turns, but as soon as things straightened out, I was gone again...
I wish the zx1400 had a quick shifter I'm too lazy to shift gears manually especially with my clunky gearbox and a Hayabusa I keep missing sixth
@@richardcerritelli9657 It's one of those great additions that once you've had you never want to give up. Especially on clunkier gearboxes they can be better than shifting with the clutch too.
I have watched a video on YT of a guy on a Hayabusa destroying everyone on a track day.
"It's a straight line bike"..."Have you ever ridden one?"...lol...I like that!
Definitely feels like a behemoth standing still or manually pushing it around. Soon as you get moving it's pretty nimble.
Slow speed advanced maneuvers are tough but that's probably me.
Nah I'd say you're right there, the really technical or advanced low speed stuff you'll notice the weight and length of the bike a lot more. Simple u-turns it's pretty easy going.
@@MotoJournoKris Exactly! U-turns are ok but I've been practicing a figure 8 in a box (24' x 70') with my gen3. Difficult
@@muhammadsteinberg Yep, that's a lot more challenging!
@@muhammadsteinberg I've found slow stuff easier in 2nd or 3rd even , than first...
@@TroyC68 I'll give that a shot. At 60yrs my hauling ass days are burnt out of me. Working on slow stuff and undoing decades of bad behavior and habits...lol
I own a 2012 2nd gen busa cherry red special edition yoshii tuned full yoshii race exhaust quick shift and much more
Wicked, it must look amazing in the cherry red!
I'm interested to know what this beast would be like to ride from Sydney to Philip island.
Also.....
Can you adapt Ventura racking and say.....
side soft pannier bags as well....
I'm looking at the busa for a touring bike....
Would love to know what it would be like for a 6'2 guy.
I am heading down to Sydney for Xmas to test ride as regional Coffs Harbour doesn't have a Suzuki dealer unfortunately.....
I reckon it'd be a weapon for a trip to Phillip Island, and fairly comfortable too, if not at touring-bike levels. I know I've talked to taller guys at around that height in the past who've found the bike a good fit too, so wouldn't imagine it would be an issue. However that will likely depend where you're coming from. Compared to most sportsbikes it's great, if you're used to an FJR or HD, it may be a bit of a different experience.
No reason a Ventura rack and soft luggage shouldn't work, may be worth checking out their soft panniers as an option.
Let me know what you think after the test ride!
@@MotoJournoKris
Thank you Kris.
That's awesome.
I will be heading into a Suzuki dealer over Xmas so keen to throw a leg over
It’d be better than a literbike for me, no doubt. I’m 6’2”, I find that bike very ergonomic. Plus it’s basically a rocket. 😆
It's an absolute monster, so much fun!
Ha! Hard to tell if it’s fast? Dude it’s a ~1,300cc in-line 4 from Suzuki with excellent aerodynamics. It’s extremely fast.
@@Nabsolute_This has to be a joke comment lol
done 20k on my gen 3, only thing i dont like is the engine brake and that cruise control button on the throttle side, few unwanted wheelies when i reach out for cruise button. the engine brake is just so weak compares to other sport bikes that i had, and eb off setting actually provides the most eb power which is also weird. i know some of you guys want the bike to roll a bit but trust me when you head to twisty road, it is terrifying with low eb power setting on this 260kg bike.
That's how it's meant to work. EB reduces engine braking for better traction, similar to a slipper clutch, off is the most engine braking.
Hi! For this review what helmet did you put on. Thank-you
That's my Shoei Hornet ADV, but I run it without the peak for road bikes.
I love my gen 111 and it's better than you think around the twists you need to ride the bike for atlest 2000 to 3000 kys not for 2 or 3 days to apreshiat what Suzuki has done. It's an amazing machine, I'm 5foot6 at 70kgs I ride daily to work I wouldn't have any ather machine
Busa are a family off bikers
Riders can lower or turn off engine braking through the settings.
Myfavorite motorcycle😍, but...i dont have money😭
I'll give you money. How much do you want?
@@pumpedupbro4200 really ?
@@anjassms4991 sure, why not?
@@pumpedupbro4200 if it's true, i say thank you
@@anjassms4991so? how are you and your busa?
Hi! When on SDMS-C mode, PW3 and TC10, when moving off the bike Jerks and the TC was blinking...Is that normal?
Sounds like you're getting some intervention from the TC, was it slippery or just normal conditions? TC10 is the highest setting, so the most sensitive and likely to intervene, you could try dialing that down a little and see if the bike is still doing it.
@@MotoJournoKris It was on both condition. According to my bike dealer that is how it works at TC10. Thank-you.
Question new to modding bikes had a gen 2 that made about 300hp (bought it like that idk what was done to it to make it so coked out aside from a engine tune and a turbo) the gen 3 has the same engine on it as a gen 2 right just some emissions crap they had to do to it that made the engine a little weaker I know it has lower hp and rpm then the gen 2 if I wanted could i flash the ecu to get the same rpm as the gen 2 and mod it to reach 300hp or higher like the gen 2 seen them reach 600 (not gonna go that far even if I can i dont want to launch myself into orbit and blow the engine but I still like the option XD) or is the gen 3 just neutered and should I stick to a gen 2
Edit I know I don't need 300hp but it's why I want a hayabusa if I'm buying something new if it isn't at least equal to the gen 2 then I'm not interested and will just get the cheaper older one.
Definitely worth checking with a specialist to get an idea how much more complicated it may be on the new Hayabusa versus the tried and true platform which they had years working on, as there's a lot more electronics to work around.
@@MotoJournoKris will do I loved the gen 2 even with the mods the thing just kept going hope the gen 3 can do the same :)
Nice review - all true re Busa characteristics. It has always had the advantage of performance over price but with the price jump being significant (and maybe worthwhile in terms of the electronics delivered) it is hard to see how being so heavy and big, it can compete with other products that deliver similar performance. I love the Busa but I think its time has come even with the advances made.
That's definitely a challenge really. A lot of what it offers you'll now get on a superbike for a similar price if we're just talking performance and electronics. With that 1000cc superbike segment really losing popularity though, I'd imagine in many ways some would take the Hayabusa if they want a more road friendly package.
Yes the Busa is big and heavy which modern super bikes are not. Keep in mind this time really a super sport, it’s a sport tourer. It’s powerful all through the rev range, comfortable, and reliable which is 3 key points that most modern super sports don’t share, unless riding a track bike is comfortable to you. I just can’t understand why so many people are trying to compare the new Busa to street legal track bikes. It’s apples to oranges any way you look at it.
@@My.name.goes.here. Looking a lot further back I think the earlier superbikes ticked a lot of those boxes too, which probably explains their popularity. I think the Hayabusa can fill that earlier niche in some ways, where the modern superbikes have gone a totally different direction, very much with the street legal track bike idea.
Sounds funny but the weight is actually one of its BEST features. It makes it really surefooted and irons out the bumps, you can hit a bump mid corner and only the noise happens the bike doesn't care.
Modern sport bikes are way too light to handle well! Over the last 20 years sportbikes have pushed always lighter and "more flickable" to the point where thye handle like crap as a real world distance bike. Modern sportbikes are boy racer track bikes, and no offense, that is just what they became. 20 years of magazines obsessing about lighter weight and more power and people just dont realise that more weight actually works better on a real road. I criticised the gen3 Busa for being heavier and less peak power than earler models, then I bought one.
@@wizrom3046 These are super stable and handle rough road conditions much better than most sportsbikes. For whatever reason the last 10 years, has seen sportsbikes, especially superbikes and supersports, go full track/race orientated. Even back in 2013 I think some where still decent road bikes, especially with some suspension tweaks. They are much more extreme now in many ways I'd have said. Maybe as they became less popular there was less need to compromise for better road use...
LAMS version?
Seems to have been some strange delay in releasing that one!
IMO 2nd gen busa is still the most gorgeous bikes among the other busa's! Very iconic
Mine is now two years old but still applies, I seemed to run faster on (90%) power mode "B" because it is not as choppy but @ 1400 miles I gave up on the Bridgestones and put Corsa IIs on it and I can't believe how it transformed everything. I love the bike's all day comfort too.
I've ridden a lot of bikes where I definitely think I'm faster on the B-mode (or similar) just because the smoothness makes such a difference.
👏👏👏👍👍👍.
The Gen 1 Hayabusa is the lightest of the three models ! That is the sportiest proof.
😊Gen 1: 244 kg (equipment weight) / 175 hp
Gen 2: 266 kg (equipment weight) / 197 hp
Gen 3: 264 kg (equipment weight) / 188 hp
It's quite an interesting comparison actually, looking at how it's varied across the different gens. Need to strip that stock exhaust off the new ones for sure and replace it with something lighter.
Largely because a gen 3 isn’t much more than a gen 1 with newer bits and bobs added to it tbh.
@@Bobby-wn5yr so not true… gen 3 has the same 1340cc as the gen 2 with the exception of more restrictive throttle bodies, etc. for Euro 5 emissions compliance. I own a gen 3 and another thing is the stock tune sucks, throttle response is not as strong as it can be and there are dead spots throughout the rpm range.
@@99ape34 I feel you more proved my point than disproved it, but to each their own
@@Bobby-wn5yr Not really, I think your statement would be more accurate if you said it was like a gen 2 with a lot of emissions restrictions and rider technology/bits and bobs vs saying it’s like a gen 1 with extra bits and bobs. Reason is due to the engine. Regardless, Gen 2 seems to be the clear winner for power/lbs.
I've been a big fan of the 1300. I own a ZX-14 . The ride of the two or really different
I would prefer a Busa then any other bike. The back scoop that Holds you on is a safety factor
as well. On my Zx-14 I've fallen off due to that Factor. I'm still a Suzuki Guy 😎...
So overall safety wise. I'm going with the busa
The ZX-14 is so upright compared to the 'Busa seating position!
200 hp is nice but you forget that it’s got gobs of torque. Go put it up against some of those 200hp bikes and then tell me what you think. The Busa is still king of the naturally aspirated bikes
They seem to have some major problems popping up with this bike one of them is an oil leak and the fix is they have to remove the engine separate the cases and reseal it.
I haven't seen much mention of it, or a recall yet, but I'm also not part of any Hayabusa communities where people looking for solutions tend to end up.
I can absolutely vouch for this. Have seen this all over gen 3 pages
I judge myself for ruling this bike out on looks tbh. I get it’s an awesome sports tourer, and you don’t have to look at it when you’re on it, but yeah I like a lot of different types of bikes, I just never seem *want* this bike. I think it’s like 70% looks, 30% douche by association.
That's fair enough, we all like different machines, and there's different things we attribute to them (or their riders) for various reasons.
I used to make the same mistake with women. l always ended up with the looker. Now, at 59, I realise it is way better to ride the bike (and woman) that is best suited to my personality and what I want from life, NOT the one that looks the best...
they just needed to add 75-100 hp
Stock turbo!
✌️🤔🇬🇧My brother bought one it’s doing his head in learning all the modes on it 😂 like the kawa h2 sx se more brain 🧠 damaged then the pot holes 🕳 and Service bills 💵 only place to use it on the track got to be the hulk to lift it 💪 both bikes nice eye candy 🍭 lots of cash 💰way to to go mate ripper 😂✌️
Yea the modern electronics can get pretty deep as far as settings once you start diving in!
I prefere the BMW S 1000 RR .... love the effortless power wheelies amongst other stuff. :)
Fair enough! They are absolute weapons too.
Then don't buy a Hayabusa. I prefer the Hayabusa, and the ZX14, even the Honda NC750 DCT. In fact I wouldn't ride or drive any BMW if I was offered one for nothing. I like the stability and comfort of the Hayabusa, so I won't buy a BMW SS1000 RR. How lucky we are we don't all have to own the same machine....
🙂👍.
I’ll be honest, this bike scares me.
I liked that you can ride it in a fairly tame manner and it's easy going, or it can scare the shit out of you if you really have a crack.
So does my ex wife....
turbo busa for beginners lol
Yep, like being a spotty 16yo at a party and pulling a prostitute.....
Imo this is a super bike in any measure. It’s priced lower than those “super bikes” only because Japan can make these at much lower costs because of popularity and number of production that cuts down a lot of overhead costs for each bike!
It won't handle the track like a traditional superbike, but it's on par for basically everything else, and more usable in many ways on the road.
I am going to say that we all appreciate beauty in different ways. This being stated the benchmark for these types of bikes is lightness and in this department the Suzuki fails miserably. MSN just did a review of superbikes and the BMW S1000RR was the overall rated winner. I have the BMWS1000R Sports and there is no way it will be changing places in the garage even at a similar price of purchase. Good video btw.
I reckon the S 1000 R is the pick for a road bike honestly, as amazing as the S 1000 RR is most of the superbikes have gotten more and more track orientated in recent years. While their popularity has also continued to drop off. But the Hayabusa won't compete or win on weight against a superbike, it's just a much more road friendly machine, while still offering ridiculous power and now a fairly extensive electronics package. Obviously that's not a direct superbike replacement if you specifically want just a superbike of course.
Did you really just compare the Busa to an S1000rr ? Let’s see, one of these bikes is designed for torque, stability, and comfort, the other is basically a track bike made for the street. Personally I don’t even consider the Busa a super bike, I’d put it in the sport touring category.
@@My.name.goes.here. Yep it much more falls into the sport touring category, which is often a very do-it-all option, where one bike can handle everything from commuting through to touring. If you want just a track bike, there's little overlap, if you want a powerful sporty faired road bike, I reckon some people would probably find the Hayabusa a much more usable everyday machine, capable of at least some of the same thrills.
@@My.name.goes.here. Well said. The Hayabusa is in a category of its own. Though ironically I watched a competent Hayabusa rider on a YT video destroy everyone on a 'no limits' track day. Utterly hilarious.
It reminds me of a girl i use to know ugly on the outside but beautiful on the inside
And with all the re-design on this bike, it still takes over an hour to do a simple oil change just because of all the Bullshit plastic you need to remove then hopefully put back on correctly 🤦🏻👎‼️
You sure? There's some guides online where people just remove the two lower panels. Looks super easy and pretty fast. May not be the recommended way, but certainly effective.
@@MotoJournoKris
That would be ideal if you could with the Hayabusa.
The Kawi Zx-1400 for instance was a super easy oil/filter change for such a big Bike, but the Hayabusa has always been a pain in the Ass, neck, knees, back 🤦🏻
Get a Kawasaki ZH2
I'd probably buy the Z H2 myself, as in many ways it's like a nakedbike version of the Hayabusa. But the Hayabusa is still an impressive machine.
@@MotoJournoKris The Hayabusa is a great bike for sure, but the ZH2 is smaller and packs a bit more punch. I recently bought one and have experience with Hayabusas (last gen), and definitely prefer the riding experience of the Kawasaki. And that’s really saying something as the Busa is an amazing bike.
@@madrat5176 Absolutely, I was lucky enough to borrow MotoHUB's ZH2 last year and I was just blown away at how good it was. That bike was definitely the biggest standout over the last few years. I rode the H2 years ago as well, and the Z was just so much more usable and fun on the road in comparison.
@@MotoJournoKris It’s amazing just how livable the ZH2 is. Truly a daily rider.
@@madrat5176as soon as you’re over 90mph on an open road the busa is much nicer.
How to make vehicles run on alkali solution : ELECTROLYSIS INSIDE FUEL FILTER, AND INSIDE COMBUSTION CHAMBER BY PLASMA FROM MULTI SPARKPLUGS, JUST NEED LITTLE HACK THE ELECTRYCITY BY USE SUPERCAPACITOR AND VARISTOR, FIRST MAKE ELECTROLYSIS INSIDE FUEL FILTER first electrolysis (PEM OR PLASMA), BECAUSE GRAFITY EFFECT WATER COME FROM UNDER FUEL FILTER EFFECT WILL MAKE PRESSURE SO HYDROGEN DON'T COME BACK TO FUEL TANK BUT RIGHT INTO INJECTOR, BY INJECTING BOTH HYDROGEN AND WATER INTO INTERNAL COMBUSTION CHAMBER CHAIN REACTION (EXPLOSION MUST BEEN HAPPENING INSIDE COMBUSTION CHAMBER) BECAUSE PLASMA SPARKPLUGS WILL MAKE ELECTROLYSIS+IGNITION , THIS MEAN ALL VEHICLES ACTUALY CAN RUN AND BURN ON WATER AND HYDROGEN.
Bit outside my realm of knowledge, but I'm certainly interested to see if we get hydrogen powered vehicles eventually.
The paint job is something that you would find at the back of a meth addicts house. It's fked.
