🤣 that's a good one

100% CORRECT!!

@@kevinrobertson7600 I knoooow, that’s why I didn’t dare go beyond since it wasn’t my bike 😅

@@AP-eh6gr Not at all. Do they usually?…

@@carsbikes3324 yes significantly. I'm from India where this bike was made famous by a 2002 model starring in a movie and it's brakes were squeaking non stop. I bought one two months ago in Canada and it's brakes squeak too. Love that sound not gonna lie

Hi, thanks for your comment 😀 I did end up buying a Busa, just not the one in the video. Found a clean copper 1999 which brings a smile to my face no matter the ride duration 🤩 I hope to find time for a video soon !

Thanks for your comments ! Helibars are a matter of taste, I find the oems great with Grip Puppies slipped on (I have long fingers). I agree for the screen, the oem one is really made for the track. Mine has Devil aftermarket pipes, which are throaty but not too loud, suits me just fine. Would love to track it but I might start with a loaner first :) And yes, I already know this one's a keeper.

It’s a battery kill switch installed by the owner. The bike was stored for long periods without driving.

@@wildmanjeff42 Thanks for sharing, the 2023 gixxer is a beauty! I ended up buying a 1999 copper gen 1, will share videos asap 😃

@@carsbikes3324 cool brother ! I am looking forward to videos ! I find myself wanting a Gen 1 for some odd reason. Love that new 2023 don't get me wrong, but the gen 1 shape and no electronics .... Curvy. Simple. Fast.

Correct! This is intentional as the GSX-R series is not fitting for the Hayabusa. It’s not a lightweight track bike that fits into a racing class. It’s a large displacement street bike with track capability, hence it’s part of the GSX series. The R at the end basically says it’s more hardcore than a touring bike.

That's absolutely correct! It is NOT a GSX-R(Gixxer)! If I remember right, it draws lineage from the old Katana 1100 series which also used the GSX badging. It was about aerodynamics.

Yesss, it's quite a rush :) The issue being one doesn't want to stay at lower rpms after !

So true! But it is so with all powerfull bikes. What I like with the Busa is that it's just as happy to cruise within the speed limit than to warp beyond :)

​@carsbikes3324 I am a fool then too! nearly 2 years in gen 2 😁 Love it ❤

Glad you enjoyed it!

I've read the same about Gen 1 vs Gen 2. But since it would be a weekend bike only, it wouldn't drive much. I'm leaning towards buying a Gen 1 first :D

@@carsbikes3324 man so am I but on FB all of the busa boys are telling me a gen2 is better. I found a CLEAN single owner gen 1 with lots of nice upgrades and extras for 6.5k. I can't find a nice gen 2 for less than 9.5k. Are the brembo brakes really that much better? Or the 2nd gear slip? I feel like for 3k I could solve both of those problems...

IMHO, if you drive the bike within legal limits it doesn't matter. If you track it then it's another story. Mine's previous owner swapped the front brakes for Kawasaki ones because "above 250 kmh, the OEM brakes were useless"... LOL

Le modèle 99/2000 n'ont aucune restriction pas de limiteur de vitesse, elles sont données pour 312km/h d'origine, je possède la même de 1999 même couleur, elle a 37000kms, je l'adore, c'est ma troisième Hayabusa, deux de 1999 et une de 2022, je préfère ma gen 1 par rapport à la gen 3, trop lourde surtout à l'arrêt, trop d'électronique, par contre les freins Brembo Stylema fabuleux. Bonne route à tous Busa31 France

It took me years and an amazing stroke of luck to find these. Good hunting for yours :)

Thanks, I'll post another vidéo soon 😁 I got them from a UK bike shop that was clearing its inventory, two or three years ago. I had been browsing for a V&H exhaust for a while and bumped into their add by chance. I couldn't believe I was looking at a brand new set and hit the Buy button in a millisecond 😆

sweet ! @@arnolddenes1536

Indeed! More so because I thought it was going to be a parade-type drive on the short loop, not a full throttle blast on the long one 😂 The moment I close my lid is the moment I realized 😅

Thanks! I hope you’ll enjoy your Magna, it is really a fun bike to ride. I was scraping the pegs quite quickly in the corners because I installed forward controls for comfort. Although the heels touch before the pegs :)

How's the bike held up?

@@anthonyrivers454 sold it last fall :-(

Também possuo uma ano 1996. Vídeo no Canal.

Thanks! Yes, of course I checked on him.

You did not read below the title. First bike, only about one yr experience. He did good.

@@davidhague7018 - You're right, I apologize. If I was there riding I would have been the one way behind the pack.

@@STBRetired1 nice reply. Nice person. 👍

@@davidhague7018 - I'm glad you called me out on my comment. Sometimes I run off at the mouth before my brain is engaged. I've got to learn to just shut up more. Not everyone needs to hear my opinions.

@@STBRetired1 I had a '87 Magna and it has as this one in the vid does, a v4 designed for a race bike and it likes to run up to 10,000 rpm. With an experienced rider using the whole rpm band his bike would have given a much more satisfying performance for a Magna enthusiast viewer.
