Touring On The New Suzuki Hayabusa | Part 2
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 07. 2024
- The new Suzuki Hayabusa was always renowned for its smooth high speed cruising abilities but for 2021 it has been updated. We borrowed two of Suzuki's finest for a couple of weeks & took them on a 400 mile jaunt to test if the latest version still has that continental crushing ability!

Had a new 2003 Anniversary burning copper Busa. Loved the muscular look and couldn't get over the riding experience. Nothing like it . Had to sell it a couple years ago. Miss it terribly. This new silver with red accents is beautiful. Wish I could just find the money . These two guys remind me of my younger brother and me when we road our 2003s. What a great way to be alive then.
You need to come back to Wales, over night in Aberstywth then head up to Snowdonia…. You are missing out 👍
Yes defo want to do that 👍
Standing ovation Greg and Chops! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 This was the much anticipated sequel I was looking forward too! 420+ miles, 9 hours in the saddle, on those beautiful bikes, soaking in stunning views and epic roads! Well Done #TeamLCR 👌🏻 We need more Greg and Chops feature videos like these. Award winning cinematography, fun, smiling inducing chemistry. #BrothersIn-Law 🔝🎬🎥👍🏻🆒 #Hayabusa
Haha thanks Mike! Yeah very good trip that one and we want to do another soon! Appreciate the feedback buddy 👍
Hayabusas are addictive... I've had four, and two of those are still in my garage. With a Gen1 and Gen2 already, a Gen3 is a no-brainer for me... I just have to wait for them to depreciate down into my budget.
Good one “chopsy” I got mine last Saturday, and I’m the first from the dealer.
The Busa looks GREAT with the seat cowl attached! Can't wait until we get them in the 🇺🇲
Yes it sure does! Transforms it sir 👍
I really wish Suzuki, would relaunch the B-KING with that engine and modern electronics/quick shifter package.
As long as they don't make look like the last one. Striking but awful.
😂 I had one, but I changed the exhaust, for a BODIS system. Which didn’t protrude from the back end.
The original exhausts, were hideous 🤢
I like the b king look tbh 🤔
@@steve-wu7jp You like what you like but the last one's not for me personally. Just too mad at the back for my liking.
Outstanding Bikes, clear & precise commentary, crystal clear camera, breath taking views, great choice in music. You boys nailed it. On the negative side, you just made the wait for my pre ordered Busa even longer. But I can deal with that. Thanks for all your work boys. Keep safe. Big Gday from Australia 🇦🇺 👍🏼🇦🇺 ps. Could you list the music playlist for me.
Those bikes sound like the perfect 1 bike garage. Just need some form of luggage and your away! 👍
These 2 parts are arguably the best bike review I've ever seen... 🙏🏻
Cracking review John, I am so tempted to get one....
The first video I asked about wrist comfort. Now I want one based on your review.
I love king of the road bikes and the 2021 Busa fits my taste of bikes, agree that panniers would be a welcome accessory given it’s mile munching ability, they arrive late August here in Western Australia and I’ll test riding one. A very enjoyable ride guys I felt I was there with you both 👍🇦🇺
I've wanted one before I got my license. My absolute dream bike. Love at first sight.
Well Chops & Greg, I've just bought one after watching this, it's been on my mind for ages and you've just tilted me over the edge, a combination of your awesome video and a deal I couldn't refuse, roll on spring! 😁
Oh fantastic Andrew 👏 enjoy it buddy and glad the review helped 👍
I've always said it the best engineered bikes by far. If I had the space I would get one of these to partner my k6 1000. What a bike
One of the best, if not the best touring/review video on CZcams. My third time watching. Just the right amounts of bike talk, general but very entertaining chit chat, fantastic scenery with some droneage, and some off the bike things of interest. Great job Chopsy.
Thanks Richard 👍
Splendid Chops. A lovely vid & very enjoyable. Also a great showcase for the Hayabusa. People keep asking what's if for & who's going to buy it? This is what it's for. Watch the vid!
Yes exactly 👍
Fabulous vid... love the busa whatever the gen. I have the series one and she is very nearly the complete machine.. still has huge road presence and moves and overtakes all. She is my own millenium falcon.... you should come to southern Ireland 🇮🇪you'd love it here. 😁👍
What a bountiful ride and excellent review of what the Hayabusa is capable of doing for the touring space. In the US these are also hooligan bikes so don't be lulled by its refinements. Love the drone footage!!!!
Great part 2 you guys. Loved it. Chops, you need to get one of these new Busa's. You know it makes sense. 😁😁😁👍👍
Thanks Nigel 👍
I’ve watched this twice. I’m finally convinced that this will be my next bike instead of the Africa Twin DCT. The in-line 4 smoothness & tractability of the engine. Based on my frame 5’10 , 75 kg & long arms. This would fit me like a glove. I had a GS. This is perfect plus Suzuki’s reliability.end 2022 , it will be mine🙏🏽 Thanks a million Mr Lamb Chop
No problem Rajindar 👍
@@LambChopRides - I just bought the Hayabusa in white, thanks for your videos buddy 🙏🏼 May God bless you & family 😊
@@rajindarsingh1417 feel free to make a video of your journey and thoughts about getting the bike :)
@@dcryder9736 - I bought it in May & managed to clock in 1000km on it before I had a retina detachment & consequently had to stop riding for a while. I sold it in October 2022, only after 5 months.
It’s the best bike I’ve owned. I’ve owned a Ducati Diavel , GS 1200 & Suzuki GSX1000.
Smooth QS, cruise control makes it a great touring bike. On top of its reliability & cost of servicing & isn’t as hot as other big bikes in our tropical climate of Singapore. The choice is a no brainer. I even installed a 52l top box as I commute to the airport. I really miss riding. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏽 that I can get back to riding in a year.
When that happens, I’ll get on a Hayabusa in a heart beat.
@@rajindarsingh1417 Thanks for your report. I wish you a speedy recovery!
I’m 49 and just picked up a 2020 Hayabusa. I put the airhawk on the seat and ride all day no problem.
The high standard of your reviewing style has been impeccable ( as usual)! Promises kept 👍
Greg & Chops , Nice job , very entertaining 🏍💪
Just love this review by y’all…touch in everything that matters and I can almost see your smiles as you’re riding..great footage from across the Pond! Busa, here I come..🤙🏽
While we all want to ride to the South of France, for most of us a long day ride is about as good as it mostly gets, so this 2-part video has been spot-on.
Excellent machines, and enjoyed the chat between the two of you. More of these please...!
Thanks Bib appreciated buddy 👍
Best review you've done so far i think. Gregorio is a cool rider, we need more of him.
Great video guys...!!! After all your enthusiasm about the Hayabusa, I think everyone will want to Try one..!!! Keep up the Great videos chops 👍👌👏
What a brilliant machine in a single package!! Well done guys, great review, great riding and great video. It's time I upgraded from my Gen 1 I think....
Thanks guys. I enjoyed that so much, a route I know well from my BMW R65 days. A great ride, and yes! You've done a great sales job on the Hayabusa. I've always loved the look of them (really don't get why people don't rate their looks, to me they are beautifull) and when I get a bit of money to get another bike a Hayabusa is high on the list if not at the top. In fact it is a definite toss up between a BMW 1250 RT and a Hayabusa. Which is an odd choice because they are the antithesis of each other in some ways, but at 6'2" I need a big bike with plenty of power.
I actually believe that the more power you have the safer because you are much more relaxed plus for me, the most dangerous point of motorcycling is how long you are exposed for during an overtake. I'll never forget the most terrifying moment in my motorcycling days was when I took my girlfriend on the back of my Kwaka ZZR1100 and went for an overtake, I misjudged the effect of having a pillion and didn't accelerate as quickly as I was used to and narrowly missed getting squished by an oncoming car when sosl I would have been well clear.
But it always made me think that it's how quickly you can overtake that gives you safety so underpowered bikes are not safe because they may have the top speed but not the grunt to get passed a car quickly and safely and then settle back down again.
Thanks again for a great ride.
Funnily enough Guy that’s exactly my choice too! I’m 5’10” but long in the body and short legs so seating position on the RT would suit me fine but totally in love with the new Busa!
Great review gents! I used to have a K5 and I'm 6ft 2in so similar to you. Based on your 2 videos I would love to get a 22 / 23 model, especially as they are now fitted with the goodies!
I didn't find the lack of panniers a problem when touring. A Bags Connection rear cargo bag and a Bagster tank bag&cover was more than I needed.
Cheers. (PS, nice to see you riding through my part of Wales 👍).
Great pair of videos Chops, thanks. Lovely to see you on roads I know - round Bristol and into Wales. There really are some great roads over the bridge.
Wow ...awesome part series Chops.... you guys are a great combo...please due more of these type of tours. Thankyou ✌🏻👍🏻
Thanks Andy 👍
Great video really liking the new Busa. What out Mr Chops Greg is stealing the show.👍🇦🇺🍺
Great video guys I’m thinking about getting a sports touring bike haven’t had a bike for a fair few years I’ve had lots of 600s 750s 900s 1000s sports bikes before but now it’s time for something more capable 🙏🏼 your video has helped me make up my mind so thanks
I've heard the Hayabusa called a lot of things but never lovely I think you have opened up a whole new genre for the Hayabusa
Well that, gentlemen, was so worth the wait! I sat with my dinner on my lap and really enjoyed this second episode. Such fond memories of the busa I took out from Wheels and your editing Mr Chops captures the bikes beautifully 👌
Thanks Damien 👍
Great vid guys cheers
Defo going to be my next bike..prob next spring
On a ducati(V4/V4S/V4R/Streetfighter V4/V4S) you would ONLY get 110 miles before running dry and the hayabusa can easily get another 70 miles more than those ducati's !! Not to mention that NONE of those ducati's have cruise control or even a gas gauge. Such a shame, but hopefully the engineers at Ducati can become more intelligent about adding such 'luxury' items since the bikes are at least 30% costlier(and double that in maintenance) more than the hayabusa ! Lastly, no one can even think about the fact that the reliability of Suzuki and parts network is vastly superior to the ducati/BMW....
Great videos. It’s nice to see a review by guys about my own age. I’ve been thinking of a new hyabusa or zx 14. This will make my decision a lot harder.
Loved my gen 2 and I will be getting on in a year or so once the deals start to appear, anther great video 👍
Another Fantastic Video. Well done both of you
Great couple of videos. Certainly highlighted the positives of the bike. And actually highlighted the positives of biking in general. It’s about getting out there and enjoying the ride.
One thing though, am I the only biker who never takes both hands of the bars whilst riding? ;-)
Great job, I can imagine a couple of people maybe looking at the Busa who may of otherwise wouldn’t .
Props
Thanks Philip 👍
I got a gen 1, and enjoy it like you ride the new one.
I think this is your best video. Love the 360 camera and the soundtrack. Keep up the great work.
Cracking vlog boys, those roads are epic the a40 is so good!
Great video chops! nice scenery too, might have to take a Busa out myself. Take care Jake.
Cracking video, looks like you 2 had some fun
Really enjoyed the trip you guys shared👍
Could have done with this machine Bangkok to Hua Hin and back last weekend. Though it was enjoyed on the Tuono but could do with more wind protection even with an MRA xscreen.
Your best video so far chops. Well done.
Love Gregs Schwantz rep! 👍
Nice of you to put your arse on the line for this review! Great shots, now I must go and try to arrange a test ride on one of these puppies...
Great review and a beautiful final location in the Brecon Beacons.
Awesome video lads. I've had enough of my 1199R and i think this or an s1000rr could be next.
Awesome part two. Thank you gents.
Great pair of videos, thx!
great review lads. still not 100% on the looks but it's slowly growing on me. would love to ride in wales sometime to see how it compares to scotland. the road condition looks immaculate.
Nice one! enjoyed it 👌
Keep'em coming 😉
Thinks start getting fun onwards to Snowdonia, Bala etc. Looks like you need to get back and get those batteries charged! The bikes look bloody great... video was also awesome. I’m pretty sure Suzuki have sold a few more bikes on the back of this. Great work 👊
Wow those shots are amazing,just imagining the effort taken to record from 2 devices and edit them at sync timing 👌🙏
20l tank is not especially huge, and the weight is massive, no wonder you both are shocked at the mileage range, seriously impressive.
Great video chops thanks for sharing 👍
Very enjoyable John & Greg! Wales is incredible just a pity ye didn't get more of it in with those 2 beauties but maybe next time make a weekend out of it? Love the CHANNEL!
Thanks Mark! We are planning an overnight trip next time 👍
Glad to see you can ride the Busa sensibly and still really enjoy it and have plenty in reserve for those mad moments. The lack of pannier option is a really bad choice by Suzuki as the bike is really suited to long distance rides. It seems the engine doesn't have much character though other than going effortlessly smooth throughout the whole rev range. I'll loved my old K1200S because it used to get snarly and vibey above 4500 rpm and let you know it was in party mode. It had hidden pannier mounts as well with expandable sport panniers.
The engine's character is its supernatural torque wave,( Its defining feature ) doesn't get any better than that, Vibrations, no thank you, I am sure it will snarl with an exhaust.
@@annon-ski7985Super smooth throughout the rev range doesn't work for me as I ride where the bike feels comfortable in engine feel. My RGV250 wasn't really happy until it was doing 70 mph+ and a Blackbird I test rode was so easy to ride at 90 mph+ it would get me into serious trouble without much effort. I guess the Busa plays in the same garden. The K12 though had a definite change in character as the exhaust valve opened. Vibey was maybe a poor choice of word but it definitely had a gruffer edge to it that let you know you it was party time. That 4500 rpm in top was around 70-75 mph, if I remember right, so was great for riding the smooth grunty bottom end in relaxed mode.
My problem is I can't trust myself with bikes that have engines like the Busa, Blackbird, ZX14 etc as that sweet spot is so easy to get to and so fast for public roads.
@@stevecade857 Thats cool, man I love the supernatural push, but as you said they can get you trouble.
Don't know what is available yet for panniers but Corbin had high quality ones for the 1st and 2nd gen Busas.
Love watching you call Ashton court a castle - and that’s the suspension bridge. Come back over for a ride out!
Great roads camped in Llanrhystud for a week. Did all that West coast. Loved it.
Up on the Brecon beacons the army was on exercise.
Another great film guys - my only criticism is that it was too short!! Keep up the great work. I live in Monmouth - so the A40 through Bwlch
(Welsh for pass) out to Brecon is my local run. Come back to Wales soon! 👍👍😀😀
Thanks Huw 👍
Nice vlog from you both 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant video chops love the bikes thanks from danny
This is great, thanks! Busa, what a bike.
Great pair of video’s…..I thought Aberystwyth was a bit ambitious !
The sun always shines like that in Wales 😉
One to practice for next time…..”Look you now, isn’t it”….🏴
Brilliant video guys ! Wales looks as good as Scotland . Trip going to happen as soon as .
Great looking machine. 👍
another great video LCR if I had room for it that would be a good one to have
Beautiful country with some amazing roads :D
Great video again Chops 👏
Best Busa review ever.
Great videos guys... have watched this pair through several times (as well as others) while awaiting delivery of my own ‘22 Hayabusa (2 days to go!)
Can you tell me more about your ‘jousting’ camera mount please?
What is it? Was it OK on the mirror arm? Didn’t damage the finish or anything?
Cheers
A cracking review off the busa and you should come back to Wales and try up and around Bala and snowdonia lovely road to I have a 2005 gen 1 busa
New pole view is amazing! 👌
Excellent review, im buying one now
Really enjoyable video; damn! I want a ´busa!! Thanks....
superb video have to say the roads only get better the further you go into Wales
Flipin Nora you started off at winford road garages then on to barrow gurney our neck of the woods 👌 top quality again chops. Great bike
Great vid chops 👍👍👌👌
Great video again chops showing what the Busa was made for. I hope you do come backm if nothingf else to work on that accent :D but you do need to experience the A470, A4120, A44 and all of the roads in between, you'll love it.
Haha thanks Mike, yes accent does need work 😂
So good, felt like I was on one of those Busa’s.
Great vid Chops.
Would love a Gen3 but I cant bare to part ways with my Gen1.
Keep both :-)
I just got back from my first motorbike trip to brecon this weekend. No rain ☔. Incredible roads and views. Can't wait to get back there :)
Amazing John isn't it! 👍
@@LambChopRides I'm going to try your one day trip and see how I get on.
MY street trip RS Loves the twisties :)
That video flew by, always a good sign. Wales is an amazing place to ride, it's right on my door step too. Next time your there I recommend Heading towards Rhayader. The road around there are very special :-) Planing another trip in a week or two. Depending on the weather.
Yes we are already planning to return with an overnight stop this time! 👍
@@LambChopRides Cool, have fun man!
Great review John, such a nicer looking bike than the previous models
Thanks matey 👍
Great couple of video's Chop's, it would be nice to know what it would have been like for and carrying a pillion? The pillion seat looks big and comfy, only sat on one at the moment waiting for the weather to break before planning a test ride, but it did fell right for sure...
Thanks Jeff, unfortunately the loan insurance doesn't cover you for pillions, not that I had anyone to go on! 😁
Great show love your show
Great videos. That road from Chepstow to Monmouth is always closed lately. Nice section it is too 😂
Yeah going to have to go back to try that one!
I just love Suzuki, they still make sportsbikes with soul, (gsxr is more to my liking). BMW S1000RR M are just high revving, sterile and clinical, and then they fall apart. And i am not gonna stop nagging about that smc-r build, I dont think you have finished before you do a dyno-run!
Nice response at the end. When your finished with your fast riding you might buy a hayabusa:)
The Gen 1 hayabusa is the lightest of the three models!
☆Gen 1: 244 kg (equipment weight) / 175 hp
☆Gen 2: 266 kg (equipment weight) / 197 hp
☆Gen 3: 264 kg (equipment weight) / 188 hp
Excellent video time to book a test ride at motorcycle Mart one thinks.
Cheers
Hi Guys great videos! What cam are you using on the long pole? That added some great footage of the ride.
