I have been lucky enough to have owned 5 older Hayabusa's and currently run a 2020 ZZR1400. These machines are about so much more than just their speed. The length of them, coupled with the weight means stability that super-sports cannot match, comfort that defies expectations, and while it is obviously fast (as f%ck) it's not so much the 0-60 times that blow you away as the 70-??? that do it for me. Add to that the iconic reputation that comes with this particular machine and it's why I do recommend (if you haven't already) you drive one at least once....

@1MrBryn 3 года назад

Watching the video on MCN today makes me really glad they kept the clocks. Watching that speedo needle fly around the dial is some amazing theatre that digital displays just don't bring.

@Ritalie 3 года назад

The engine sounds soooooo good, it's soothing listening to the reviews. The oil pump and water pump and timing chain, and the transmission gears, give it a silky smooth turbine sound. It sounds like a mixture between a race car and a jet turbine. Omg. It's so mesmerizing. The 2nd Generation bike doesn't have the turbine whine at all, b ut it still sounds terrifying from the intake scream at upper revs.

I love my Gen 3 Hayabusa. I agree with your list. When they released it i wasn't sure I could afford one but I was pleasantly surprised at how relatively cheap it is. I like the feeling that you're more "inside" the bike rather than "sitting on top" of the bike like most others. Apart from other Hayabusas only zzr1400 have given me that feeling. Looking forward to your in depth review!

Nice summing up, I've got a few fave reviewer/testers, each build up a true picture of a bike, this was really good way of doing a review. You almost mentioned the lovely whir and induction noise when you mentioned the engine, it sounds so sophisticated, yet a total turbine of a thing. It's between this and the ST 1200RS for me.

I don’t get all the press that say Suzuki played safe, should have changed this that and the other, why.... if you have a winning formula why change it, just bring it up to date with sensible cost effective updates, well played Suzuki. Busa lovers are going to love this one... and me.... I’m just glad it exists.

Love both of my Hayabusa’s. Sure it hasn’t got the modern rider aids but it’s effortless to ride. Plodding around it’s almost an automatic, stick it in 3/4 gear and ride the throttle.

Are you going to ride the Pan America? The new 3rd Generation Hayabusa and the new Pan America are by far my favorite bikes in 2021. They are just so timeless, and have classic vibes, but while also being modern. I see the new Hayabusa and the Pan America, having more aftermarket parts available for them, than almost any other motorcycle. Meaning, the possibilities are endless. You could basically transform either bike into a monster if you wanted.

I had the Gen2 Busa which was an incredible bike, I was lucky enough to tour Europe on it. The only downside was the lack of luggage available for it.

@777geeman 3 года назад

189hp is quick and you state super smooth so that in it's self is amazing. My experiences with liter Suzi's last few years (2018 mostly) was quite the opposite. It wasn't until i fitted a PC 5 that my fueling especially at slow speeds came right. That was Euro emissions control that made it run so lean it was downright dangerous at times. The riding position appear to throw one not too forward but my near 60yr old arms wrist and back just wouldn't like more than hour's ride i imagine. Which i'd love to do for the thrill alone. That quick shifter looks the goods, my BMW is a little agricultural from first to second but your changes appeared sublime. Totally agree about the dash. Look forward to your extended review not that i'd ever buy a busa, just there must be some dislikes i'd like to here about also.

@MrJeffreycauchi 3 года назад

After i started riding my Gsx-R 1000cc I really realised how important is the quickshifter. Because believe it or not the bike pulls sooo hard that a simple move "opening your fingers to pull the clutch in" you'll find that it's not so easy to do. When I ride my other Gsx-R which is 125cc, it won't even come to my mind that something simple like pulling the clutch can be tricky when you have a 200hp bike.

The British must be tough as nails to live with such high prices. Here in Canada that Hayabusa is 22,399 CAD about 12,800 pounds. In the U.S.it is 18,599 USD which is 23,508 CAD or 13,434 GBP. Cheaper in Canada? Pity that must be why they are sold out here according to the Suzuki Canada website.

@LeeXRV 3 года назад

Excellent review chap. I’ve not ridden the new one but the old one was smooth and good for comfort, cruising but a little heavy at slow speeds. I do like the idea of it being a high speed (hyper) cruiser and mixing comfort with performance. I would have liked to see the new ‘busa have a more modern display cluster, more power a more modern look but to be fair, this still looks like a fantastic bike. Motorbikes seem to be priced like small cars from 10 years ago these days which whilst being inevitable seems to alienate significant parts of the market unless people want to go down the PCP route and rent their bikes and never actually own the thing, something I’m completely against.

Tyre wear can be a surprise with any heavy powerful bike, i assume this one will be similar to the old one in this respect. Used as a toy it wont seem important but put 10-15k a year on the clocks and it might mean five rear and three front. A significant expense to factor in.

Really? 3000 miles to a rear tyre?? Ouch!

@karlbratby4349 3 года назад

the top thing you like is the engine... well imho tell suzuki that and they should ditch the old K5 unit they insist on trying to revamp and struggle with fueling it making the GSx1000s and F along with the katana the totally opposite of the smooth unit in the Hyabusa, put some R and D into developing a new unit that works well with EURO 5 which is what they have done with the engine in the Hyabusa.... just my opinion though. Would be great to see a direct comparison to the new Kawasaki ZZR1400 soon to be discontinued or maybe better the Ninja H2 SE +

I was never keen on the first model, it looked bulbous, this one i really like, especially in this colour scheme. Personally, the silver is best. Love that silky smooth engine & the analogue style old skool clocks. The bit that looks odd, is the fork tops, it looks like they are about to fall out the top yoke! EEk! Great review as ever Andy. P.S. Keep the 'Hey kids!' intro :-)

It's subtlety being withdrawn I'm afraid Rich, I think in hindsight it puts too many people off watching my videos....harmless though it was intended to be.

Great bike. But now, hasn't the Kawasaki Ninja H2 out Busa'd the Busa?? ;) That's what I've heard on youtube, at least. Never ridden a Busa, would love to test ride one some day...

When the mk1 changed to that newer at the time curved back end and restyled one around 08 , I had a limited edition version , last 100 off the track before they stopped it to the then new shape mk2 version , I rode it very hard , I mean very hard , and remembering on a ride out with ten others , a guy asked if he could have a go on it ,, I jumped on his gsxr1000, and that felt gutless compared to the bus’s a however the brakes were superior on his gixer, I didn’t keep it long , didn’t bond with it and preferred the super blackbird, had 3 of those , but I still think my zx10r would have give the busa a good run for its money , 107 mph in first , cheers shane uk 🇬🇧

Great review, thank you! If you had to choose between the 2021 Hayabusa or the BMW R1250RS for regular weekend rides and three multi-day (2000+ miles) tours a year, which would you pick? H&B will offer equivalent luggage options for both, so it is down to the bikes themselves.

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

I think I’d take the RS....I like the looks of it, it’s more comfortable and I don’t need the excessive power of the ‘Busa...

I bought one new in 2000 and if memory serves me right, I paid 8.5K for an official UK one (not an import which were big at the time). In the 21 years since, my wages have no where near doubled (in fact they are almost the same), so how has the price of new motorbikes become so ridiculous? I put it down to PCB's where no one every actually buys one with their own cash any more. As long as they can afford the monthly payments, the price doesn't matter.
