The biggest issue with starting on a bigger bike is the instincts you gain after riding for years allows you to get out of bad situations, new riders don't have that and bigger bikes have no forgiveness you will do way more damage
Agree with you!!! It is a matter of self control. Bikes do what you want them to do. The better the bike is, better brakes and suspension it has. If you do not have self control, better stay apart from bikes, even 125 cc ones.
One of the most terrifying, and rewarding, experiences happened when I was learning to ride when little. I never rode anything bigger than a Suzuki rm80...then, I hopped on someone’s early 1980s Yamaha yz490...to say these two bikes are the opposite end of the universe is a severe understatement. I enjoyed the ride and survived. It’s all about the right hand and respecting the machine. Even to this day, would I let the right hand have it on the yz490? Hell no. That’s a wicked bike and demands respect at all times. I can imagine the hayabusa is the same idea. Very manageable and can be enjoyable but must be respected at all times, THAT is where the experienced part comes in. Knowing your limits and having the self control to stay within those limits
I own a gen2 2012. I love a gen2 2012. The gearbox is buttery smooth. It munches mile without a hitch. Granted it's the weight of a rodeo bull but once rolling turns into a comfortable and understanding beast. Riding at sane speeds the fuel consumption is good. Planning on lots of city riding put it down to B mode. Chances are if you have ever red lined this bike A/ you are being chased by the law. B/ you are planning to be chased by the law. It's a very well refined machine, pillion is comfortable with torque for days. Meaning it could easily take two most places without grumbling. The brakes can be sorted but stock ones are fine if you know how to apply a good f/b ratio. It can be a cruiser / it can be a cruise missile. Everything is in the wrist and mind. Great video always nice to see other rider reactions.
So for those who don't know, really ANY bike made from Suzuki, and a couple others, in the past few+ years have a "power mode" A,B,C selector. A=Full Send, B=75-80%Power, C=50-60%Power. So anyone can start with a litter bike and with the aide of the computer and not get hurt. In my opinion the GSXR1000 is a masterpiece. Peace
i bought my first sportbike 14 years into riding (wish i had bought one sooner) and its a ZX11 (i still have it). it can't really hang with a more modern bike like the Busa, but it never ceases to amaze me. only had it in triple digits once (i only rode it for a season before teardown) and at 105 it was just gettin in the groove... smoothed out and felt perfect. it's crazy how much power that class of bike has.
Excellent video, Yammie. I'm a 2020 Hayabusa owner and know all about that "drug". The speed, torque and horsepower are so addicting! You just want to pull as much and often as you can but wisdom tells us otherwise. She's such a fantastic and fun machine! Haven't had my out for a week or two but better weather ahead. I'll definitely be getting out midweek. I'm glad your friend had fun!
Josh is right - you cant beat an SV650 or any of the 650s in terms of all around fun and usability -- Busa is like a dragster, great for the strip, but imaging city riding on that thing, or even the twisty roads -- it just wouldn't be that much fun. It's a specialized machine and a beast at it.
the Busa is a great bike so is the zx14 i guess its what your use to i grew up on old school bikes back back int 1970-1980's all bikes where heavy the Hayabusa is much lighter then the old school bikes
I actually want a Busa to use as a daily. The vast majority of my riding is interstate commute to and from work. I’ve done some canyon carving and that’s definitely not my thing, my favorite thing is high speed pulls on the interstate. I think a Busa is probably perfect for what I want and for what I need.
Right? My dad used to have a 1990 goldwing 1500 and I've had to pick that bike up more than my dad has ridden it. That's my standard for heavy vs my small shadow 750
Both my wife and dad started ridding on a Hayabusa. My wife had taken the Harley ridding course so practically no experience and my dad had never been on a motorcycle. These bikes are super easy to ride, they’re only dangerous when you make a mistake.
I had to smile when I saw the title. 9 years ago when my son was 17 years old I taught him to ride for his full motorcycle licence. Once he had his license still at 17 , he was riding my Hayabusa also my Diavel.
That's awesome. I'm still trying to convince my parents to be happy with the fact that I want a bike so at this point I'm just going to get one whether they like it or not

@@andrewr2572 it's true riders of 10 years + will handle bikes with far more confidence (or fear, depending on their history with them) but it isn't the case he's a beginner. A beginner by definition would be new, nervous and stiff, and a bike wouldn't obey his expectations completely. After 2 years a rider should be on their way to relaxing their arms, positioning themselves for comfort and feel and deciding which line a bike takes based on their needs not on random chaos that beginners tend to suffer from. It could be seen from his riding he was still getting accustomed to the bike but was comfortable on 2 wheels. It's past the point of a beginner, regardless of who he is compared to. It doesn't really prove the point that someone new to riding can get on a busa and go no issues. Worst things like target fixation, panic braking, not looking where to go, awkward in slow maneuvers, bailing on a lean mid corner do happen and on a busa that can go worse given you'll unknowingly be doing higher speeds.
That was a great video so thanks guys. One thing I will say is there must be something wrong with the bakes on that particular Hayabusa. Another guy I follow and who also follows your channel bought a new Hayabusa a few months back and has never said a bad thing about the brakes.

@@DaemonWulf7 id say novice or even experienced compared to most riders. compared to someone whos a natural and rides for 10+ years? sure a beginner in comparison
People say.... Do not buy a powerful bike as a fist bike. I have a s1000rr as a first bike. If you don't have the brain to ride a 600, you won't need a more powerful bike. It's about the brain (and skill).
*sees insurance price* "so what you're saying is I'll write it off completely 7 times a year?" I got one quote for the mt07 for over £6000 😂😂 Britain is expensive for insurance
Just get an older bike here and have no claims bonus otherwise it'll be expensive, also sportbikes are much more expensive even with lower power so get like a fz1 or older bikes like zzr1100 on a classic policy
this guy's impression is basically why i ride a liter bike for the street, i've always liked the racing look, but a 600 needs to hit mid to high rpm to make some decent power, while something like my r1 just has that low end grunt from like 3000rpm, i can only imagine how torque-y the busa is with those extra 300cc's. easy to pass vehicles, also more engine braking which is fun in traffic too.
The problem with the 2nd generation Busa, is that it has lots of torque. But has horrendous gear ratios. It is geared for a race track, which doesn't make any sense. In top gear, the engine is turning about 4200 rpms at 70mph. I cannot understand why motorcycles don't come with an overdrive gear. They make an overdrive gear set for the Hayabusa. They also make different sprockets to make the top gear less obnoxious. All motorcycles are always under geared for some reason.
One thing I'd also like to mention is for someone like me who likes to be out on the open road, given the choice of a new bike 750cc or under, ... or a good used Hayabusa for the same price for me it would be the used Hayabusa every time. Weight, stability and torque are big pluses on longer rides.
I also want to just let people know, picking up a big bike isn't as hard as it seems either (usually). I ride my dad's 1978 Honda Cx500, and that bike weighs about 500 lbs on its own, and have embarrassingly, a couple times, had to pick it up on the road. As long as you have the handlebars locked as far towards the ground as possible, have your back against the bike, other hand on some sturdy part of the bike on the back (Frame, thick metal, etc.), and you use your knees, not back, too pivot the bike up, you should be fine. Key part is you're not actually lifting 500 lbs. You just want to lean the bike back up, which is a lot easier. (And yes, having more people than just yourself, will always make it much much easier to lift up the bike)
2 years is probably a good spot to get a taste of something like that. The only thing with big power machines is the lack of forgiveness if you mess up 😅
@@maverickscott1019 A short, supervised ride like this; albeit with a bit less hooning, *might* be ok. But I agree that it would up the risk factor a LOT.
It's all easy and manageable until you roll on throttle too fast, downshift and clutch too quickly, or hit a bump that jiggles your throttle, and then you're dead. For anyone considering it, star with something SLOW to learn throttle control and smoothness.
I switched from a 27 horsepower XS400cc to a 115 horsepower ZX-6R when I was 19, and the only problem is the stopping distance. Going fast doesn't cause an accident. Not being able to stop in time, is what kills people. That's why fast motorcycles kill people. Because they don't anticipate the stopping distance. A Hayabusa could effortlessly get to 150mph before hitting a turn, and then you're dead. The Hayabusa does have a button with 3 "speed levels" A, B & C. You can turn it to C, and it's a dog.
@@Ritalie yeah i went from an xr100 to a honda 919 as my first street bike, only thing i had to get used to was the weight and yeah the stopping distance
Come on, that won't happen. You don't want a total newbie that might panic and rip the throttle open, but if you're past that the bike is as safe as any other if you don't go silly.
Unless you meant a FIRST bike, yeah definitely not. I rode an R1 with 1 years experience and it was really easy, you just back off when it starts hitting speed. Easy.
i don't know man. i grew up with dad being on a bike. when i was 6, we were cruising at 200kmh, around the country. He also had a Busa. Yeah, it's strong, but it's also pretty docile if you respect it. And by respect i mean, you don't send it like a moron. If you send it, even a 600cc is nuts. The GSXR-1000 is a lot more scary. I always enjoyed the busa. (being a pessanger that is)
I went from riding an RG250 2-stroke to a friends Honda FireBlade at night when I was 19 years old. I was going to take it easy but then an Escort RS Turbo went to overtake me, straight away I was up to 140mph to see that off. Then I was taking it around the corners back to his house at close to 100mph although I had a near miss when it didn't want to turn on a sharp bend off the throttle. I gave it a bit and it dropped in. I rode another one a few years later when I had an R6 and it seemed a bit slow, a couple of years later I had an unrestricted ZX12R and then went on to race a ZX10R. Hayabusa's are fairly safe as long as you stop for the corners, the 2004 ZX10R is the most knarly bike I've ridden, no traction control, short wheelbase and light weight. It's like an R6 chassis with a ZX12 motor strapped in. The later 1000's although faster are a lot more controllable. Damn those GSXR1000K5's I could never keep up with those, best 1000 I've ridden out of the box.
His reaction reminds me when I first tried my sister’s Ninja😀 Back then I had a GS500 and a year later I sold it and I bought a Fireblade. Planning to buy a Hayabusa very soon! I love these big bikes. Many people think that they are scary and difficult to handle them. The truth is exactly the opposite. If you know what you are doing and dont go too crazy it is the easiest bike to handle.
Like watching an episode of the old Star Trek... the new guys would always die. He wrapped his laces around the gear lever, forgot to cancel the indicator and never once pooped his pants, even knowing Yammie threw him on a high performance bike with crappy brakes. That's when you know you're expendable, but a worthy sacrifice for a Yammie episode lol
You should put that kid on a Harley with a new Big Twin motor so he can feel the difference of the super low down torque of a Harley. There’s nothing else like twisting the throttle of a Harley and feeling that instant low down torque grunt. It feels like the hand of god is pushing you. I had a BMW s1000rr that had 200hp and that thing went, but it didn’t have that low down torque, even my s1000r with the de-tuned RR engine didn’t feel like it. They just feel totally different on how the power is delivered. A 131ci Harley is such a crazy feeling when you give it the beans.
I said the same thing, that's ridiculous. I wonder what his buddy thinks about being called a beginner. I hit my R3 hard and never dropped it for 2000 miles in 4 months before I went to a 600. Not every advancement is achieved only by time. Maybe that dude has 1000 miles under his belt, doubt it though. I bought my CBR600 from a guy that put a few hundred miles on it in a year. I did that in a week.
@@yammienoob Eh if he's ridden middle weight bikes moving on to a Busa should be pretty easy. As long as he's careful with the throttle it's no more dangerous than any 600 supersport. Hell I'd say some naked bikes like the Super Duke or the Tuono V4 are probably far less forgiving to a less experienced rider than a Hahabysa.
@@yammienoob i know what u mean papa yam. But he must've learned enough in order to operate this busa and stay alive. I mean it has been like a month since i bought mine, I am truly a beginner but im pretty sure i would launch the busa outta my croutch in 5 seconds right? he didnt
After two years the guy is no expert and didn’t look like it or pretend. Says more about the bike that something that fast and powerful and heavy can be ridden comfortably by just about anyone and that’s why you don’t want inexperienced people on them. It’ll take you places you might never come back from.
I grew up riding motorcycles and was often on my dads Gsxr-1000. I went to buy a first bike yesterday and sat on a 600, 750, 1000, and a BUSA. I ended up getting a 2007 gsxr-600. All I remember when sitting on the BUSA was “nope.” It instantly instilled fear in my soul and it wasnt even on…
When I first got my ZX14R I had no problem getting used to as long as you keep the modes low or where they should be and keep the time low. When twist the throttle the first your gonna think of is an imperfection in the road and you will get of the throttle. Instans respect.

People say.... Do not buy a powerful bike as a fist bike. I have a s1000rr as a first bike. If you don't have the brain to ride a 600, you won't need a more powerful bike. It's about the brain (and skill).
Busa men practice, Buusa bois send it!- yammienoob lol made me pause to laugh
That older Busa's instrument cluster brings back memories of my 99 Blackbird. Good times!
*slight waver in Josh’s voice*
“Oh no I’m not nervous”
Title: "beginner"
Yammie trying to slick at 3:05: "two years of riding experience..."
Worried a little bit when he said that his shoelace was around the shifter. Worried again when they didnt stop to tuck the lace in.
I bought a built and tuned mt09 and absolutely love it as my first bike (im 6ft 1 150lbs) just takes alot of respect and discipline.
Maahn, I just love this channel
I have to say, your mic sound quality is 10x better than most motorcycle youtubers
Meanwhile, me watching this, soon to hop on the 50cc moped....
My first motorcycle was a Honda Valkyrie, large and fast accelerating. If you respect the machine, there should be no problems.
I'm getting a Hayabusa, I figured if I die I'll just become one with force or if the bike survives my spirit will find a home in the busa
Assuming your dead, good job
What a good Halloween-themed video.
*sees insurance price* "so what you're saying is I'll write it off completely 7 times a year?" I got one quote for the mt07 for over £6000 😂😂 Britain is expensive for insurance
Holy hell!
In the US my sv650 costs me like $160 a year..
Just get an older bike here and have no claims bonus otherwise it'll be expensive, also sportbikes are much more expensive even with lower power so get like a fz1 or older bikes like zzr1100 on a classic policy
That's crazy! I'm at $80 a year, including roadside assistance.
You respect the bike she will respect you and babysit you on a trip
this guy's impression is basically why i ride a liter bike for the street, i've always liked the racing look, but a 600 needs to hit mid to high rpm to make some decent power, while something like my r1 just has that low end grunt from like 3000rpm, i can only imagine how torque-y the busa is with those extra 300cc's. easy to pass vehicles, also more engine braking which is fun in traffic too.
The problem with the 2nd generation Busa, is that it has lots of torque. But has horrendous gear ratios. It is geared for a race track, which doesn't make any sense. In top gear, the engine is turning about 4200 rpms at 70mph. I cannot understand why motorcycles don't come with an overdrive gear. They make an overdrive gear set for the Hayabusa. They also make different sprockets to make the top gear less obnoxious. All motorcycles are always under geared for some reason.
One thing I'd also like to mention is for someone like me who likes to be out on the open road, given the choice of a new bike 750cc or under, ... or a good used Hayabusa for the same price for me it would be the used Hayabusa every time. Weight, stability and torque are big pluses on longer rides.
Hey Yammie, i passed a hayabusa on the highway today. IN A PRIUS!
Lol
I'm gay.
So what. My r6 dies 180. Stock
I also want to just let people know, picking up a big bike isn't as hard as it seems either (usually). I ride my dad's 1978 Honda Cx500, and that bike weighs about 500 lbs on its own, and have embarrassingly, a couple times, had to pick it up on the road. As long as you have the handlebars locked as far towards the ground as possible, have your back against the bike, other hand on some sturdy part of the bike on the back (Frame, thick metal, etc.), and you use your knees, not back, too pivot the bike up, you should be fine. Key part is you're not actually lifting 500 lbs. You just want to lean the bike back up, which is a lot easier. (And yes, having more people than just yourself, will always make it much much easier to lift up the bike)
i expected to see someone whos been riding less than a month two years is not a beginner >:(
Lmao what
2 years is probably a good spot to get a taste of something like that. The only thing with big power machines is the lack of forgiveness if you mess up 😅
Somebody with less a month rising experience, a busa would be a death trap
True, im 15 been riding dirtbikes for two years and I'd prolly be ok on a big 450
@@maverickscott1019 A short, supervised ride like this; albeit with a bit less hooning, *might* be ok. But I agree that it would up the risk factor a LOT.
This was a really interesting video, please do this format of vid much more. Thanks for the content. Cheers
It's all easy and manageable until you roll on throttle too fast, downshift and clutch too quickly, or hit a bump that jiggles your throttle, and then you're dead. For anyone considering it, star with something SLOW to learn throttle control and smoothness.
I switched from a 27 horsepower XS400cc to a 115 horsepower ZX-6R when I was 19, and the only problem is the stopping distance. Going fast doesn't cause an accident. Not being able to stop in time, is what kills people. That's why fast motorcycles kill people. Because they don't anticipate the stopping distance. A Hayabusa could effortlessly get to 150mph before hitting a turn, and then you're dead. The Hayabusa does have a button with 3 "speed levels" A, B & C. You can turn it to C, and it's a dog.
@@Ritalie yeah i went from an xr100 to a honda 919 as my first street bike, only thing i had to get used to was the weight and yeah the stopping distance
Come on, that won't happen. You don't want a total newbie that might panic and rip the throttle open, but if you're past that the bike is as safe as any other if you don't go silly.
Unless you meant a FIRST bike, yeah definitely not. I rode an R1 with 1 years experience and it was really easy, you just back off when it starts hitting speed. Easy.
Started on a hayabusa, just don't give it much throttle forehead.
At the end Yammie saying "KEEP WATCHING YAMMIE NOOB" vs me like:
BRO I'VE BEEN BINGE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS FOR OVER A WEEK NOW HELLO
My dads first bike was a hayabusa. I think I'll get one too!
“Was”? R.I.P.
@@smithsfan425 He Sold it several years ago! He's still alive and well!!!!
i don't know man. i grew up with dad being on a bike. when i was 6, we were cruising at 200kmh, around the country. He also had a Busa. Yeah, it's strong, but it's also pretty docile if you respect it.
And by respect i mean, you don't send it like a moron. If you send it, even a 600cc is nuts.
The GSXR-1000 is a lot more scary. I always enjoyed the busa. (being a pessanger that is)
someone doesn't know the difference between an amateur and a beginner
as someone whos really a beginner...LMAO
I went from riding an RG250 2-stroke to a friends Honda FireBlade at night when I was 19 years old. I was going to take it easy but then an Escort RS Turbo went to overtake me, straight away I was up to 140mph to see that off. Then I was taking it around the corners back to his house at close to 100mph although I had a near miss when it didn't want to turn on a sharp bend off the throttle. I gave it a bit and it dropped in. I rode another one a few years later when I had an R6 and it seemed a bit slow, a couple of years later I had an unrestricted ZX12R and then went on to race a ZX10R. Hayabusa's are fairly safe as long as you stop for the corners, the 2004 ZX10R is the most knarly bike I've ridden, no traction control, short wheelbase and light weight. It's like an R6 chassis with a ZX12 motor strapped in. The later 1000's although faster are a lot more controllable. Damn those GSXR1000K5's I could never keep up with those, best 1000 I've ridden out of the box.
His reaction reminds me when I first tried my sister’s Ninja😀
Back then I had a GS500 and a year later I sold it and I bought a Fireblade.
Planning to buy a Hayabusa very soon!
I love these big bikes. Many people think that they are scary and difficult to handle them. The truth is exactly the opposite. If you know what you are doing and dont go too crazy it is the easiest bike to handle.
Like watching an episode of the old Star Trek... the new guys would always die. He wrapped his laces around the gear lever, forgot to cancel the indicator and never once pooped his pants, even knowing Yammie threw him on a high performance bike with crappy brakes. That's when you know you're expendable, but a worthy sacrifice for a Yammie episode lol

You should put that kid on a Harley with a new Big Twin motor so he can feel the difference of the super low down torque of a Harley. There’s nothing else like twisting the throttle of a Harley and feeling that instant low down torque grunt. It feels like the hand of god is pushing you. I had a BMW s1000rr that had 200hp and that thing went, but it didn’t have that low down torque, even my s1000r with the de-tuned RR engine didn’t feel like it. They just feel totally different on how the power is delivered. A 131ci Harley is such a crazy feeling when you give it the beans.
I'm sorry but if he's been riding for 2 years he's not a beginner.
I said the same thing, that's ridiculous. I wonder what his buddy thinks about being called a beginner. I hit my R3 hard and never dropped it for 2000 miles in 4 months before I went to a 600. Not every advancement is achieved only by time. Maybe that dude has 1000 miles under his belt, doubt it though. I bought my CBR600 from a guy that put a few hundred miles on it in a year. I did that in a week.
He’s never swung a leg over a bike with more than 70 horsepower lol, definitely not intermediate or advanced.
@@yammienoob Eh if he's ridden middle weight bikes moving on to a Busa should be pretty easy. As long as he's careful with the throttle it's no more dangerous than any 600 supersport.
Hell I'd say some naked bikes like the Super Duke or the Tuono V4 are probably far less forgiving to a less experienced rider than a Hahabysa.
@@yammienoob i know what u mean papa yam. But he must've learned enough in order to operate this busa and stay alive. I mean it has been like a month since i bought mine, I am truly a beginner but im pretty sure i would launch the busa outta my croutch in 5 seconds right? he didnt
After two years the guy is no expert and didn’t look like it or pretend. Says more about the bike that something that fast and powerful and heavy can be ridden comfortably by just about anyone and that’s why you don’t want inexperienced people on them. It’ll take you places you might never come back from.
I grew up riding motorcycles and was often on my dads Gsxr-1000. I went to buy a first bike yesterday and sat on a 600, 750, 1000, and a BUSA. I ended up getting a 2007 gsxr-600. All I remember when sitting on the BUSA was “nope.” It instantly instilled fear in my soul and it wasnt even on…
"will he die" 😂😂
2015 Hayabusa for sale posted on FB for sale in Vancouver, BC, Canada
$10,000 Canadian dollars
It's such a trip to see the Yamster riding through my part of town.
really wish there was a pov from yammie of josh absolutely slapping it
What year is the busa?
13:28 bleeped out "even if you dont know sh** and youre a beginner you can totally handle one of these no problem"
He’s liking that, grab that boy a tuned/full exhaust 19-2020 ZX10r
Hes going to need a sprocket with +2 or 3 in the back. Just saying. Also, the new 2021 is coming out should be sweet
When I first got my ZX14R I had no problem getting used to as long as you keep the modes low or where they should be and keep the time low. When twist the throttle the first your gonna think of is an imperfection in the road and you will get of the throttle. Instans respect.
Probably the best moto vlog I've seen in weeks.
The new busa boi practicing his calls: @9:02
The Hayabusa is like the fighter jet of motorcycles.
Josh: imagine if I dropped it at the light and had to pick it up.😫
me: new fear unlocked🔓
