2016 Suzuki Hayabusa - Test Ride Review 

Transmission is perfect you just need to learn how to shift.

The transmission is clunky because you are not able to shift properly sir.

nice review on the bike I finally got mine last year it was the 2014 model all black and I gotta say I'm loving it so far big bike.it was built for only one thing and it's speed no doubt about it.I'm still breaking it in it only has a little over 1300 miles too it.

Absolutely great review for someone who already knows that this bike is insanely fast, but wonders how suitable it might be for daily driving. Thanks!

Way back in 2000, my brother bought a Hayabusa. It was a long, low, stretched-out GT bike. A great grand-tourer. Never forget the insane power of that thing.

Excellent review. I have a 2020 Hayabusa (nothing has changed since 2016) and I agree on all facets that you mentioned. It's comfortable, it's fast, it's responsive, the throttle is amazing and it's heavy. I happen to absolutely love my Busa. No buyer's remorse on my end at a little over $16,000 out the door with taxes and title. I fucking love every single inch of my Busa for everything it's worth.. But again, great review. I think you were spot on. I'll be doing a review on mine soon!

Great review. Well done.

Absolutely luv this bike, and the big Z, 'cause I'm a big fat dude, plus they have a comfy passenger seat, unlike all these cruisers you've been riding. It's a big ,comfy, stupid-fast sport-tourer, and that's for me!

Spot on review.... Appreciate it

Great review man.

thanks very much for your review, i'm so glad what i'm hearing. this really sounds like the GT version of bikes, yet an aggressive super one. yeah you said it, a powerful bike for roadtrip. i really want a fast and comfy one. how nimble it is ,is still ok for me.

I think the hayabusas are cool looking.

Make it changes with the new models especially with the engine and the instrumenst. Hopely hayabusa give the best presents for fans. Bravo

I ride the 2015. To be honest you need to take that out on the freeway away from traffic , and you should be up front so you can open that up to feel the real Power of the bike.....Breaking 160 in 4th gear is amazing.....you gotta run it.

omg this whole time, I'm waiting for him to open it up! argh

Very good Review

got a 2012 candy sanoma red busa,i dont think suzuki needs to change a thing with this bike its just stupid awesome at everything and rock solid reliable.

Thank you for the review. Historically, braking was a concern on the Hayabusas. What are your thoughts on the braking for the 2016? Thank you and stay safe.

Dude this is at west gate. I live no joke 5 minutes from there. I recognize that whole ride where you were at.

Flashwing really seemed to enjoy his Demo Ride, too. Nice Ride / Review & good points on the comfort and abilities...just that those mirrors look like they came off an '84 Honda Accord & that gauge cluster is from the same era airplane, lol !!! & think the guy at the end like you...or the Bike, haha !!! jjokes ;)

If ever you have the opportunity, can you test ride the 2013+ Suzuki Boulevard M50 or M90?

busa for life

The bike is a great size to a larger man in these day and age comfort is what's in plus it would easy on my lady Hayabusa awesome B.I.K.E!!!

people that never owned a busa would never know what that bike is really capable of..in the right hands that bike is a rocket ship. there are very few bikes and even fewer riders that can keep up on the street turns and all..on the other hand not my first choice for a track bike..lol

Suzuki is behind the power curve w keeping up w everyone else!!

Controlled insanity is the 'Busa'. Like any other bike, whether its a dirt bike or a cruiser....Just because it can go that fast...doesn't mean that you should. The rider controls what is going on. Dont ride one without serious respect for it.

But will it beat my K1 SL70? This is the question, because you seem to be unable to change gears. I suspect the honda dax will also test you, especially in its 'SuperDax' twin carb, 1070cc configuration

The amazing thing about this bike is the power range in the gears. I reckon that if you behave yourself, you could lower to the fuel consumption from the claimed 6.5L/100km to around 5.5L/100km. I am seriously thinking about getting one.

It' s a GSX1300R not a GSX-R1300 and it needs a up dated gage clusteer in my opinion.

lovely

I enjoy my 2000 Hayabusa second gear getting on the freeway 110 mph. I like my speedo meter 220 mhp. not the new one 180 mph.

Love the "shift mode" on the fly. How long has Suzuki had that feature on the Hayabusa?

Thats really cool

Are you countersteering at all? When you turn it just looks wrong, like you're turning in the direction you're going. It could just be the way it looks, or the way the bike handles I guess. If not, steering like that could give you serious issues at some point.

Nice. But I like the Blackbird for its looks.

Is this place from Arizona

how big are you about?

that would be a great touring bike!

are you in phoenix?

damn that's so beautiful

nice bike

you need to over 7tho to get this great bike moving quick!

Hello sir, i have one question related to 2016 Suzuki Hayabusa, i am 5ft 3in height so with this height is it good enough for my feet to touch the ground?

Bro you live in AZ?

dude judging by the way you shift gears you shouldnt be testing or giving anyone advice

great review :) what stadium did you drive by at 2:34? :)

Hope you didn't burn the transmission up.

Guys do you know that Suzuki actually removed the HP and Torque specs of it's bikes on all of its websites? I don't get why but anyways. Could somebody give them to me for Hayabusa and at which RPM? Thanks

thinking of buying these bike, I have only rode dirt bikes but don't want to waste money starting on a 600cc want to start on the beast, can it be done?

How does this bike measure up to the new ZX14r? Thanks

y r u in 6th gear @70mph?

DREAM

I want to get a bike..what would get out of the ones you've tried recently..what do you think would be the most fun?

After watching that a second time you literally rode right by my dads place on 103rd

What gloves are you wearing???

It's not a sport bike it's a sport tour. It's not a gsxr 1300 it's a gsx 1300r.

What exactly is aggressive seating?

love the busa:_

I'm not into sport bikes but I REALLY want a Hayabusa

japanese bike is the best.

super

You literally passed right by my house!!

i love busa but zx14 is so comfy

The only reason I would ever buy this thing is if I were going to ride across country and I just had to have a super sport to do it. My GSXR600 is just fine.

Is there a reason RU-vid will only let me watch this in 360p?

Fuckin' awesome bike! :))

Was that in west gate? Are you a motorcycle salesman?

It's not a Gixxer (Sports bike), but a GSX1300R.

big bike..

My buddy got his license three days ago and just bought his uncles Busa lmao.

Shudder watching the guys with no kit on......madness

道路広くて良いね

At 9:48 a Harley passes the whole group !

ITS THE MOTOR FROM GTA MANNNNNN!

This is one hell of a bargain! Under $20,000, over 180 mph. Harleys are too damn overpriced! I’d pick this beast

ur suppose to test the power out for us viewers

The only thing that bike needs to make it complete is a big chrome sissy bar on the back.

i have an 08 busa...yes they look different. ..either you love them of hate them..i never liked the look....until i knew why they look that way..hayabusa is a falcon bird and its designed to look like a falcon what its named after. the history is cool to know.. the falcon it was designed after preyes on black birds..hence the honda(blackbird) which WAS the fasted bike until the haybusa preyed on it and became the king.

Honestly I think the older Hayabusa's look better they are not as long as the newer ones

First learn to shift gears in right way,mate I would advise !

what's the point of the review? some inexpericed rider that rides a 200 mph bike slowly around the block... i didn't learn anything

Back to a 110 for you

Mate, you've got to learn to change gears. watching that review was painful. do you know that you can cruise around at 30mph in 6th gear on a Hayabusa? If you ride right you will increase your fuel range and have heaps of fun.

i have a cbr 1000r

You don't seem to be able to ride properly? Have you never ridden a sports bike at 140+?

why doesn't anyone on RU-vid mention that it's hard to wheelie... in other words, it's kind of safe accelerating, unless your doing crazy stuff deliberately. In traffic brakes are good too with Pirelli Diablo. Common man, which 1000 super sport accelerates throw 1st and 2nd without that front coming up like a darn 🐴 horse!?

Where's the Ducati Diavel? Next....

Why not accelerate the bike ?????

Never liked the new design. The original is iconic.

GSX 1300 R

show

I wish they would upgrade this bike.

the suzuki is one of the fastest bikes in the world...look it up :P

your reviews would be ok if you rode on some winding roads. I cant see the point of riding a bike on roads like that

geez u do a haya review u MUST GET ON IT SOMEWHERE SAFE FOLKS GO TO CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY 22 OR 50 CHECK OUT YOU TUBE HERE MY BUDDY GOES 190 SO SWEET TO WATCH! IT JUSY MAKE YOU DRUEL ..CALI U CAN RIDE FOREVER & EVER & EVER

2:01 - 2:03

damn in 2003 you could get a new hayabusa for $8,500

I think its long past time for the Busa to be updated, just looks so damn ugly and big. At least the zx14 has some racy looks to it.

dam son shift

ur friend left his turn signal on
