2022 Suzuki Hayabusa Review: Just Hype? 

I like the dual analogue gauges with the smaller tft. We stare at screens all day whether it be our phones or work computer/tablets. It's a refreshing change to jump on a modern bike and not stare at a I-Pod screen dash.

Never ridden the busa, but it's always had a spot in my heart. I've loved the looks. It was always different.

I rode one a couple of weeks ago and it blew my mind. Rocket power, buttery smooth and incredible comfort

The analogue clocks are reason enough to buy this machine. Long live analogue!

Got one. Went from a 06 GSXR to this monster. Love this bike its so nice

-One of the most pretty bike of the market (black version) -super reliable engine -the best looking dashboard -you can mod the bike in almost every way, also if you want more power there is the turbo pack.

im a fairly new & young rider, but i LOVE analogue tachometers and the feeling they evoke- I haven't ridden anything with a TFT dash (im probably about 10 grand away from ever doing that, lol) but there's something joyful about watching the little arrow spin up as the bike revs that I never got on the bike I owned with a digital dash.

All hail The Busa! I'd love the silver and red one. Love the largely old school dash and more refined look too.

Actually analogue clocks are my favourite thing about it. There's no more bikes with analogue clocks. It's a shame.

Four-time 'Busa owner here (still own two of them).

Another Brilliant Bike review by undoubtedly one of the best bike reviewers on youtube.Thanks MOTOBOB👍👌

Heroes come and go,but Legends never die😉 Busa best all around Bike! Comfortable,Fast and it feels like a feather throwing her around in the curves...

The white color with the Japanese logo is super clean 🔥

I love the analog instruments. Wish more manufacturers would come back t them. The square tablets some brands are putting on are appalling...

I had a 2019 ZZR1400 for about 18 months. You can't enjoy them in the UK anymore, especially with the new lower speed/ higher fines. I went back to basics with a 2022 V7 Special and now really enjoying just riding and not racing everything.

I have a 2022 Gen 3 Hayabusa and I love it. I recently went on an 1,100 mile ride through the Appalachian mountains on it and found it to be fairly comfortable but I was still fairly sore after a 6-7 hour day. Since then I've added a heli-bar riser and it's helped tremendously with comfort without compromising the sporty feel. To anyone who thinks this bike is an uncontrollable monster you're dead wrong. Actually I find this machine to be very docile in the low rev range (

Great reviewmand thanks for the discount xodemas I have now ordered a screen protector for my 1200 tiger. Cheers.

I’ve owned a Gen1 Busa from new, then a Gen2. They’re stable, fast, and so smooth and reliable. I now have the new Katana and it’s more fun, most of the time, not because of anything bad about the Busa. They’re just too easy to ride too fast and we’ll above any speed limit. The Katana is much lighter and handles better in the twisties at almost half the price and risk of license loss. Still would love to own the Gen3, but that would be an emotional decision not necessarily a sensible one.

I like how they have gone back to the projector lamp headlight. My 2009 GSXR has it. I bought my bike brand new and havent seen a nicer Gixxer front end since.

Great video as always. By the way, there's an Adobe Premiere message "New frames need analyzing; click Analyze." at the 7:11 mark.

I owned 2 gen 1 hayabusas and those bikes were plenty quick ,the laws of physics haven’t changed in the last 10 years as far as i know so they are still quick,if you want more put a TTS supercharger kit on it ,these are still an amazing bike.

the gen 3 is worth every single penny & much more.

I like the intro where the guy is in a 180mph riding position but is doing about 20mph.

Great review, thanks 👍🏻

MotoBob, when riding the 2022/23 hayabusa, did you feel ANY kind of vibration through either the pegs or the handlebars when you went 60 mph or faster ?

I would like to ask if this slip-on exhaust requires air-fuel adjustment (ECU flash)? There are many contradictions. Half of them say that it is not necessary, the other half says that it is necessary.

Still a 9sec stock bike in the 1/4 if that's what you're into. All the so-called hyper-bikes hover around the same performance area. I chose the gen3 busa over a 1liter bike because it's not stressing as much if I decide to push it. All motor with no forced induction. Chose it over the Zx14r because of cruise control. I'm not to thrilled about engine case design on Zx14r. Being the owner of a Kz1000 (1135kit)back in the day the design looks weird to me. The bike is a monster if you're pushing it around in the garage. All of that goes away when you ride it. Extremely agile and any legal speed limit feels slow for some reason.

My baby Busa ain’t HYPE. Since I’ve had it I’ve never had anyone pull up beside me and challenge me 👉🏽not even “once” It’ll go to 196 miles an hour -before you can twist your throttle. Of course, mine isn’t a 2022... Amongst Hayabusa owners? we don’t even tell you the year anymore. Find out on the highway🔥

Most favourite bike ever ❤. Always hold my heart since i born.💓

And again, what’s it like on fuel apart from that covered everything?

Its just awsome. Eighter you love it ore you hate it. Almost traded in my 08 gsxr1000 bak in 09, but it was a bit heavy for track days.

Great review!

Interesting. I've had three 'Busa's. A Gen 1 '06 second hand , a new 09 Gen 2 followed by my current Gen 2 bought new as well in 2011 which I still own. I had some money back then . Those were the days Traded my '09 in on the '11 simply because I liked the new 'Busa in black with the red highlights . Had my money ready to buy the new Gen 3 'Busa but, it doesn't offer what I was hoping for. Instead of a beefier power plant aligned with the ZX14 with more capacity and power we have we have less of that and more digital frippery. That leaves me totally cold. Not what I was hoping for. I'll hang on to my Gen 2 for now. Keep my money in the bank. Thanks for the post.

I need to stop watching your videos. You have a way of making almost every bike you cover fit into my collection.

I've was around even before the first generation Hayabusa and I remember the 200 mph talk and while 185 to 190 mph is fast the stock bike wasn't ever a true 200 mph but nothing else was either. I've rode a couple stockish Zx1400Rs with 170 to 200 rwhp while land speed racing and got close but never 200 mph. I've run with many Hayabusas and BMW S1000RRs out there and we were all about the same, some a little faster and some a little slower. Admittedly we were on salt and the density of altitude was terrible so that hurt us. I've never had the opportunity to safely run on pavement wide open for two to three miles at sea level...so maybe around 200 rwhp horsepower gets 200 mph. In any case riding these bikes on the street is like watering your yard with a fire hose it can be done but it will be scary.

The most beautiful Busa ever.

Why haven't you reviewed Brabus 1300?

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. We all still love our first girlfriend, or the one that got away. There's nothing different about our first 'bike love'.

There's just one main problem with the Gen 3 Busa?..........it isn't a patch on the ZZR 1400 😀

Did you click _Analyze_? We need to know...

All well and good, but what we really want to know is . . . . who chipped the front fender??? 😁

I have a gen 1 and a gen 11 turbo and a brand new 2022 gen111 busa and the 111 is the best hands down, what a machine the gen111 is awesome 👌

Check out Ruriko 675. She tours Japan on one these. 👍🤪🇨🇦

Sometimes I love imperfections than being 100%, there are better alternatives for the price but who cares. Busa has a character of its own.

What Suzuki should have done was turned the Hayabusa into a sport tourer. How cool would that be? I'm too old to be riding a bike that I have to lay down on

This is the kind of bike I like. However, I would go with the ZX-14R as it has some touring capabilities

Yea, forget the nostalgia, just go with what's there.

They should make sport bikes with a handlebar height adjustment.

I like Suzuki Hayabusa, the new and the old generations !

Does this thing feel lighter or less top heavy than the h2s?

Owned 5 gen 1's. Utterly addictive.

Needs a shaft drive to slow it down and increase sales. CHILLINGBOURNE.

The Name, … says it all really. Even car nuts love a Hayabusa

Did you answer your own question ? Is it ?

Needs a turbo

The person on the bike looked crazy leaned over.

I❤LOVE ❤HAYABUSA❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That is a bike, for people who want to ride fast on the street on a bike big enough to absorb the bumps. It's a waste of time comparing it to a GSX or a zx10r, which are track bikes that can be used on the streets.

I still enjoy my 1st gen with a resister on the right wire and a 4-2-1 exhaust that was tweaked by Dremel... just short of 64k, sharing the garage with my 1st gen Vstrom. variety!

set the cruise at 75, lay back and steer by your helment...lovly

I just want the b-king back.

I have one and for me this is the best motorbike

Newton meters and kilograms. I'm checked out.

264kg kerb weight? For a big, plush, sports tourer 🤔 I'll take that. Which is still 4kg lighter than a GS - an "Adventure" bike 😂🤣😂

I love it, if I could afford one I’d have one.

Never understood why Suzuki never makes sharp lines . All are curved edges and no sharp fairing at all. Even in gsxr1000 it's the same compared to other manufacturers

Sadly not keyless 😅

While saying words such incredible power amazing torque and wearing a raincoat and a chinese yogurt cup as a helmet does not go well together

Your title is very distrespectful

The ZX-14r will do just about everything this bike does for less money. Good video though.

Emotional? Lmao, you couldn't even give me one.

BUSA!!!!

Nobody buys them around my area of Ontario. Move on Suzuki put it into what people are buying this segment is history

Panigale v4 best in looks and agression

Well tbh, the hyperbike class isn't that suitable with the current situation. Since 2000s, the speed is limited to around 300 kph & the Superbikes nowadays makes more horsepower with also smaller size & easier to handle. Except manufacturers go with the forced induction like the H2/R Edit: as for touring purposes, it's more worth to buy a litre sport-touring bike rather than having this enormous size to go for distances

Can’t really help it. I don’t like this motorbike. The engine is a beast but the design sucks. It looks like a potato with wheels

A 2016 Aprilia 1100 is years beyond that bike and is is way cheaper. Good luck with selling that old crap!

If this Bike were an animal, it wouldn't be a Falcon... it would be a butch Rhino! SUZUKI-SAI サイ !!!

Good thing it 8s fast as it is bulky heavy and butt ugly

Suzuki may soon gonna wind up their motorcycle division if they do not invent.

absolute cream puff of a bike

Each and every superbike is a hype 😂😂😂. It's just an emotional bs vehicle that's bought by super rich people to show off to the people below them. Nothing else. Other than going the unnecessary 350kmph, There's nothing your regular 150-200 cc vehicle can not do and that also with supremely superior mileage.

It's not hype chef hasvtechy full top speed zero bull shut kinky fake neds8i Wirth b every oeneru

Nobody cares anymore no place to ride it and insurance is very expensive

There's not been a market for the Busa since 2005. Other bikes have taken it over.

You are buying a performance class bike. It's not a learn to ride bike. The busa, zx14r, harley street glide, gold wing, etc. are high performance level bikes.

bland bike and what it common does it have with a fat chick? Fun to ride until your friends find out and your friends are old dudes who stare and squat next to bikes talking about days gone😂 also, plenty for sale 2nd hand, so what does that say?

With all due respect to you and Suzuki, this bike is a disappointment, why you ask? I will tell you: Put this next to the gen 2 and most people will tell you it can pass off as a face-lift not an all new model The weight is ridiculous and unacceptable for a high performance machine fit for the Hayabusa name You can't put out a press release saying we had all these amazing engine options to put in the new bike and then say yea we decided to put the same engine in and yea we couldn't even push it harder than the old one so now you have a heavier bike and less power. This bike is like the supra of bikes, all hype no go, and this is exactly why Japanese manufacturers struggle to sell them because they bank on the hype and forget that we now live in a self marketing industry, if your product doesn't have the numbers behind it it won't sell no matter how good a hype you have. The Honda NSX, the Supra and the Hayabusa are prime examples. Why doesn't Ducati suffer from this? Because they develop the living shit out of their bikes because they have to keep their bikes at the cutting edge of performance because when someone is gonna spend this much money on anything, you don't wanna say to your buddies yes I have the new busa which a 2012 panigale could smoke you wanna say I have the best of the best and thats what the Japanese don't get Reliability ain't enough anymore because the euro manufacturers are just as reliable if not even more as I have read some people complaining the busa engine blowing up for random reasons and people are upset. Now sure yes its a great bike in isolation and has more than enough performance for anyone, but why do you think people are so excited about the TTS supercharged superbusa? Because that was what people had hoped Suzuki would do, a bike that could put the Ninja H2 on notice in the hyperbike world. Honestly if the Japanese don't change their mindset they will be asleep at the wheel of the motorcycle industry

Sorry.... But your Audio is horrible.

all this ultra-speed bike stuff complete meaningless, very few will ever go top-speed on these things and if you do you cant tell the diff between 130 and 180. its all freeking fast. All modern bikes are fast and amazing, none of them are that much better than the other.

all busas are just hype they are the Supra of the bike world.
