I test rode one and I was surprised. I don't think it was faster, more comfortable or more exciting than my thou. It was less nimble and the dash was difficult to read. After testing out a few more bikes I settled on another. Perhaps it's aimed at riders stepping up, not across.
After owning a busa there is nowhere else to go from here. You simply can't trade a busa in for a better bike because such bike does not exist. Hayabusa- the original and the best
Yamaha R1, Honda cbr 1000, ... Anyway, nothing is better in the world than a Harley-Davidson . This is too fast, break too much and reliable for a real motorcycle.
I had a 2014 busa and now I own a 2018 r1 and a 2017 tuono 1100rr. I don't miss busa at all. It's a boomer's bike for people who still live in early 2000s It doesn't do any well today it's kinda mediocre in every aspect. It's not faster than any modern 1000cc superbikes do you'll get bully in the high races nor it's comfortable as a modern sport-touring bike. For me s1000rr does everything that busa does but much better.
LOVE THE BUSA. I'm living abroad here in Germany. I was going to give up on Suzuki when I found out they are no longer selling them here in Germany. But until now I've seen your video review on the new 2020 model I'm like (YEEEEAAAAA!) So when I'm back in the U.S. for good. I'm buying one right away with no hesatation. Enjoyed your review.
I have owned Hayabusa in the past and a couple of S1KRR in my life. I must say, Hayabusa was a different experience altogether. Very raw as well as long distance beast. I would buy one in a blink if they release a new gen
@@christopheralonge7758 Stfu kawi is Shit Busa is legend it's first bike to set record with all new original engine kawi. Just copied and increased hp you sucker
I bought one in 1999 WOWWWW what a machine !!!!!!! unrestricted. Like a idiot i sold it 4 years later then had to buy another 2005 model which was a lot milder coming out of corners. The Hyabusa is best bike ever made.
I have a 2020 Busa and it’s an all around great bike! Does everything well. You can cruise around town or eat up the highway 🛣 if you want too! Comes off the line like I bat 🦇 out of hell!!
Good for you but I had a 2014 model and the way I see it it's does everything half-ass. It's not as fast as modern superbikes nor as comfortable as modern sport tourers
I would never own any thing else! You can't compare the comfort or the power to any other bike. You can drive it like a Grandpa or a speed demon take it on long road trips and it does everything well. Not to mention it's faster than 99% percent of anything that's on the road. And as the video said for the price you just can't beat it..
Love the bike, its a icon. Had the gen 1 for a decade and it never missed a beat, the gen 2 is killer, a smooth operator in comparison. But its abit long in the tooth now, suzuki and their decade long model runs lol. A gen 3 is well overdue now.. Make the gen 3 10hp more, 10kg lighter with a factory quickshifter and that would be wicked.
....out on my Gen 2 yesterday after the lock down, the bike lets you know that everything is there for when you want it........................................
@@bigchief1658 Haha, hopefully next year. Suzuki is gonna launch 10 bikes this year for 2021 production. Hopefully Hayabusa will take it's place in it.
remember a certain film with someone skywalker, think millennium falcon, try one at night on the motor way at night with street lights and u get the same feeling as young luke did
I'll never go back to a super sport or anything like that again. These machines are built for the street where I ride most and they're happy to do it all day long.
Owned a new 2008 Limited and I beat the crap out of it when I got on the open road. It was a lot of fun. Reason I got rid of it was people not paying attention while driving.
Never been a fan, it’s the back that just looks weird. But amazing grunt and great price. Would be nice for you to review and original and see the difference as I get the impression not much has changed. Nice review. Keep them coming.
@@mstngken Zx14R might have won the battle but lost the war. Hayabusa was is and always will be a fuckin legend. The most sought after superbike ever existed.
I am an aged pensioner and have owned one for 3 years. Weight at slow speed is the biggest issue. Also it wants to go in a straight line so you need to be very brave to hit corners fast ..unless you have track experience or large b****
It doesn't fall into "sport touring" It's not upright seating enough for that. The Hayabusa created the class of HyperSport and that is the only category it belongs in. #ForeverKing
The Only hyper bike today is an H2, Hayabusa and zx14 fall into sport-touring category like it or not there is nothing hyper about these bikes today they're not as fast for today's superbike's standards.
Its to bad suzuki or kawasaki can not make a bike similar to the 2015 VFR size etc-- and just stroke out a 750 engine to a 900 and put mild cams in it-- not everyone wants 200hp - a mini busa would be awesome-
Never the euro5 regulations killed off the bigger displacement high-performance motorcycles. And Suzuki is not even updating their best-selling bikes so Hayabusa is pretty be milked as it is in the US.
