I have a 2015 1. I haven't had any issues with my kickstand. Lucky I guess? 2. I have Geico I pay $488/yr for my busa and a '96 Shadow 1100. I have crazy amounts of coverage. Might have to look into State Farm lol 3. Governor - Check. 4. Bridgestone Battle Axes SUCK!! 5. Accurate. 6. I say the same thing. Keeping the front down is the trick. 7. It gets attention. Preiod. 8. Mine was 12,5 Brand new in '15 9. Pulls like a freight train. 10. Only if you stop...(I'm kidding). But I've never been stopped on mine. I don't ride like a Street Rossi, but I have been known to exceed speed limits from time to time. Good video man.
Had three Hayabusa's, still have my Gen 2, '11. Kick stand . Never a problem. What ? News to me. Wheel stands are not and never have been an issue. And I've drag raced my bike. Never broken the 10 second mark yet though. Insurance. never a problem. The only cops that have pulled me over have been friendly ones to have a look at my bike or tell me to take it easy with the speed. Never had a ticket. We managed 270 kmh on the road from Napier to Taupo a few years ago 2 up with all the gear on board. Fully loaded. They get along Ok. From New Zealand.
(I) Gen. I and II Hayabusa kickstand is just fine, never had trouble. (II) Insurance - I am lucky I guess ... too. (III) Delete the governor in the ECU (where allowed). (IV) My standard tires were stiff and long-lasting. Replaced them for sth. with more grip. (V) Electronics: ABS is good and useful (but I don't have it) - I am an older guy coming from the days when these didn't exist, don't miss it ... in the serious riding schools they teach one throttle control - will do. (VI) Agreed ! Yes, the front tires gets light pretty quickly ... (VII) Yes ! (VIII) Yeah ... (IX) Yeah ... (X) True ! U think you go 70 kph and you go 120 kph. The 'cop problems' we don't have outside the U.S. ...
I had a Gen-1 Hayabusa back in '03. It was my first motorcycle. I put 10k miles on it in 4 months of owning it. I loved riding it, it was just so much fun. I totally agree on #10 of your list. If one is not very careful and cognizant of their speed on this machine, the points on your license will start accumulating at a fast rate. I got two speeding tickets on it, and almost a third. The only reason I didn't get the third ticket was because the officer received a more pertinent call while he had me pulled over, so he had to leave. After that, I purchased a "Valentine One" radar detector for the bike. That helped. I eventually wrecked the bike. I was coming up on a traffic light in a 55 zone, and the girl in front of me (in a green Saturn) hesitated at the light as if she was going to go through it (the light had turned yellow), then immediately braked and stopped. I had my head turned away when she braked as I thought she was going to go through the light, so I was going to go through it too right behind her. So, that was the end of my fun with the 2003 Hayabusa. That was 21 years ago, and I haven't rode a motorcycle since. I'm now ready to get back into it, and going to look at a Gen-3 Hayabusa this weekend. There's just no other motorcycle for me. It's Busa or nothing. I'm pleased to see that the new Gen-3s have all the tech, including CRUISE CONTROL. That should help me keep my speeds down. I'll still get another Valentine One radar detector for it though. I"m 21 years wiser and mature than I was the last time I had the beast, so hoping that helps as well.
if you dont mind can you tell me how bad u got injured during that accident? because thats all my dad does is tell me im gonna get hurt if i buy a busa
@@jessediesel4211 I didn’t get seriously injured, but I was numb for a minute or so on the pavement. Helmet had a good dent in it from it hitting the girls car. I recommend at minimum full leather riding jacket, helmet, and leather riding gloves.
I drive the new Gen. 3 Busa. Bought it brand new for 16400€. Its the best bike i ever had. The only con. for me is the limited lean angle when you want to cornering hard... But you are still able to geht the knee down if you want. Quick-Shifer is awesome, fuel consumption is better than my old bike (KTM 990 Super Duke). Great engine, reliable and powerfull and so on... One of the best streetbikes ever made.
That they are. My neighbor had a brand new gen 3 and killed a dear doing 75. He was able to walk away. Make sure you do the kick-stand mod as soon as possible. The gen 3 are also prone to falling while sitting still and idling. I have videos on how to do it, and of the neighbor hitting that dear. Cheers!
I lived in Louisiana anything over 1000 is a cruiser and it’s less than 1K a year now in 2022 I have a 2014 and it’s 1,100 a year. Can’t knock it love it. Cheaper than a Liter bike also my 3 I have own I have gotten 5K on the rear tire and 10K on the front. Love the bike
Same here...in 2014 with my 06 busa, it was a while, progressive was around $160 and this was Michigan of course I was 45 not 18 so maybe that made a difference I had good record also.

Never had an issue with the kickstand on any busa. The stock tires are slippery as fuck. I couldn’t wear them out. I was going to crash it first. Change the stock tires out asap. No cops don’t ticket you for racing idling behind cars in traffic. Only been stopped 3 times in 10 years and I rode fast. Twice for speeding once for my plate being sideways. You are more likely to speed since it actually prefers to sit around 100 mph on the freeway. It’s hard to go 60-65. Trust me. Also they get great mpg. He didn’t say that. 40-45.
All good facts. To add to that I'd also tell a new owner to up your riding experience as much as possible before jumping on the back of one these, this machine is not to be taken for granted. Have fun, stay safe.
crashed my hayabusa going 160 because there was a tire on the highway. luckily I only slid across the road with full gear on so I could pretty much walk away amazingly. They are true works of art but you have to be prepared for risk factor of riding motorcycles

My insurance is 190 for the year on a gen 2, 2013. My rear tyre has 6k on it and I ain't being kind to it. Kickstand has never gave me bother and it's been parked in my garage when not used for 4 years. Never dropped once. By far the easiest bike I've ever ridden, until you twist the throttle, then your just a passenger
I have the same bike, the governor of 186 is an ecu flash away. Cops are also ass holes to all sport bike riders I feel like. These bikes are also crazy stable at speed and actually are pretty comfy to ride.
@@Ahsangill19 I let the neighbor kid take mine out. He's novice and purchased a ninja 650. He came back on my Busa and wanted to trade his little 650 in for one. Lol
@@Ahsangill19 they are terrible starter bikes. Not so much because off the torque or HP. It is mostly due to the weight, I new rider would have a hard time controlling a Hayabusa at low speed and stop and go things simply because it weighs so much.
All right so I have a 99 model gen 1 unrestricted ECU with the 220 mph speedometer I own the bike outright my insurance for the whole year with tax $147.00 I've owned three super sport bikes before this one and only have ever gotten one ticket which I wasn't even trying to race I have not gotten pulled over on my busa yet and have put on 8000 miles I have some bells and whistles on mine mostly for looks the exhaust however I upgraded to a yoshimura full exhaust with twin R- 77 carbon fiber slip ons (baffles removed)
When I lived in Louisiana anything over 1K was considered a cruiser cheaper insurance. I live in South Florida I have a 2014 Busa and a 2016 ZX10R KRT and pay $1,800 a year.
Had three Hayabusa’s and current owner of Gen II Hayabusa’s with countless miles/ years of riding, never had a problem with the stand. Like any motorcycle turn handlebars towards the stand and when getting off emphasise the weight on the stand. No problem.....Wheelstands are not a problem you just need to move forward with acceleration combined with good throttle control and will never have a problem. If you wind throttle on with no subtleness and no forward weight transfer of course the front will lift ( just like any bike) Rest of your points are debatable
Having had Busas (three) since 2002, Sidestand is hopeless - yes on all models - why? crazy - needs modifying - Insurance - yes, crazy, but the power of the thing scares any insurer - Governer - why would you want to go more than 300klm ph - Tyres - yes - never got more than 3,000 klm out of any rear - Assist options - tech - yes the Gen 1s and 2s are scary without assists but, hey, I am old school and didn't mind having to check myself regularly rather than have the bike do it - now I'm old the Gen 3 assists do help ha ha - wheelies - impossible not to but there is so much weight on the front it isn't hard to control like other sport bikes - Reputation and style - yes, everyone knows it - great social magnet but also completely bullet proof - never had a mechanical problem at all - totally reliable and predictable - Price - cheap as, I can't believe how cheap they have always been, even the Gen 3 is reasonable - Acceleration - insane - I have never had a bigger thrill - Danger to your licence - absolutely - nuts because it looks hot? - however, it is maybe an odd thing but I quite happily and mentally comfortably punted along at times at the speed limit, watching other bikes blitz me trying to get me to race - you know, and they know, they have no chance - so the choice is yours - you don't have to race to still command respect - oh, and keep your licence. I never got booked once on my busa - but broke the limit everytime I went out - maybe just lucky. It's a lucky bike.
8 mos later, and a 2018 with 28,xxx miles has an asking price of its MSRP ($14,599) or more 😡 I thought I'd wait until the gen 3 come to the showroom so I could sit on it and compare. I didn't know about the price increase and I didn't know they would pull all of gen 2 off the floor. I should have gotten the gen 2 when I had the chance
@@Djinn-Dani I used to have insurance from echelon. But it really does pay to look around. There's no loyalty or rewards to sticking with an insurance provider long-term. If you find a better deal, take it.
I have never heard of this or ever happened to me bike falling over while idling , i have state farm when i bought 2017 Hayabusa new i could not find affordable insurance i was 52 years old clen driving record no tickets or accidents, i have never been stop by police but once in 2000 on my 99 Hayabusa for no reason just to check my registration and insurance no ticket
Ok, so mm Kickstands are not problem at all at EU version. Insurance is like 550€ a year IF you have great bonus points in insurance company. Wheelies, haven't got them unless on full throttle ( My weight 115kg). Rep and style here in Finland = all idiots with cars 180HP up wanna race you. Price is about 6k. ANd the last, danger to your license = all about inside your head. Stay safe and have it kicking.
Looks like you are going to want to up your gear if you’re stepping up to this monster. Helmet, gloves, boots, maybe full on suit or atleast a two part outfit. So there is some extra costs involved. 💰
Insurance on that is cheap in Louisiana cause it’s over 1000cc. My 08 was $60 a month but my 1000 was was twice that also you can get rid of the high speed limiter 🤷🏼♂️
I have no idea how that's even possible. That is who I use for everything, home... auto... bikes and even with all my discounts, no points on the license, I was still over 50 per month. That's full coverage and 500 deductible.
I can’t wait to get ticketed for so called speeding when I get my Hayabusa. The state/department/precinct will get tired of getting embarrassed/losing court cases due to me having a recording of no speeding and the cop not having a speed reading to prove his ticket💯 Definitely going to rack in more money off of lawsuits than all my yearly investment dividend returns.🎩
My neighbor kid (25ish) got one after riding my 2019. He ended up getting the 2021 model and after a week of ownership ended up smacking a dear at 75mph. Insurance totaled it and he refuses to buy another bike, and yes, he was a noob rider. But you are correct, its a hell of a lot of fun! I ended up selling mine because I had a hard time just going the speed limit. I'll be sticking to the cruisers instead. Cheers.
I’m in my 40s with a good record and experience and if I recall, it was considerably more than my current Geico policy with a bunch of other bikes; hence my comment at the time. I just don’t remember anymore what the number was and perhaps it was based on other factors like where I live and all that other stuff. However I also do remember that I put down not more than 3,000 miles to be ridden a year so even considering that, it was high.
I live in a small hic town in Tennessee and the police are corrupt, sherif daughter got kicked off the force when she was caught with meth, his son (also a cop) was sent to jail for beating an inmate while he was in handcuffs (on film), and the sherif himself tried everything in his power to get them reinstated. They all play dirty around here.
@@jray7265 it is, but sadly it's life around here. If you ever get bored and want a good read, Google Ed Graybeal - washington county sherif. He just resigned cause they wouldn't reinstate his kids.
Gen 2 factory kickstand is faulty Insurance = 😢😢😢 Factory limited 186/299 Mediocre tires Lack of electronics Wheelie happy Well known bike Relatively cheap Good acceleration Cop bait
Insurance coverage is ridiculous for the Hayabusa. I have 2 1260cc Ducati, and a 1250cc BMW. Those 3 bikes MSRP are all higher than my 2022 Hayabusa. $1,300 a year for the other 3 bikes combined, and $1,800 for just the gen 3!!! That’s full coverage for the year with a $100 deductible. Needless to say, I had to make some changes, raising the deductibles and changing coverage.
In every aspect of it. Welcome to small town America. Where the cops are dirty and nothing we can do about it. Actually, last year, the sherif was finally thrown from his seat after 15 years, only after his daughter was kicked off the force for getting caught with meth amd his son got kicked off the force for breaking an inmates jaw, on camera, which the inmates hand handcuffed behind his back. Corrupt... currupt... currupt...

Insurance on that is cheap in Louisiana cause it’s over 1000cc. My 08 was $60 a month but my 1000 was was twice that also you can get rid of the high speed limiter 🤷🏼♂️
24M, clean record, riding 6 years, 23 hayabusa is 70 month for full coverage.
I have a 09 Busa with State Farm it’s only $14 a month
I have no idea how that's even possible. That is who I use for everything, home... auto... bikes and even with all my discounts, no points on the license, I was still over 50 per month. That's full coverage and 500 deductible.
It is only for PLPD coverage full coverage is around what you said
State Farm is one of the most expensive insurance companies, especially of your under 40 years old
I can’t wait to get ticketed for so called speeding when I get my Hayabusa. The state/department/precinct will get tired of getting embarrassed/losing court cases due to me having a recording of no speeding and the cop not having a speed reading to prove his ticket💯 Definitely going to rack in more money off of lawsuits than all my yearly investment dividend returns.🎩
I pay $11/mo insurance for my 1300 cc bike....cruiser tho
Just quoted a bussa I am looking at it’s $556 a year or 47 a month
this is more like 8 cons on why not to buy, i absolutely love mine, if you arent a noob, you gonna want 1 of these!!
My neighbor kid (25ish) got one after riding my 2019. He ended up getting the 2021 model and after a week of ownership ended up smacking a dear at 75mph. Insurance totaled it and he refuses to buy another bike, and yes, he was a noob rider. But you are correct, its a hell of a lot of fun! I ended up selling mine because I had a hard time just going the speed limit. I'll be sticking to the cruisers instead. Cheers.
I concur on the insurance. it was quite the shock!
I think it's an age thing, I have full coverage here in the states and mine is like $40/month
Which insurance company? I call progressive n geico both Is $500 a month
I’m in my 40s with a good record and experience and if I recall, it was considerably more than my current Geico policy with a bunch of other bikes; hence my comment at the time. I just don’t remember anymore what the number was and perhaps it was based on other factors like where I live and all that other stuff. However I also do remember that I put down not more than 3,000 miles to be ridden a year so even considering that, it was high.
Number 10 was the best point 😂😂
Lol my insurance through geico is $113 a year!
Wow that's crazy. Is it full coverage, what's your deductible, what's your zipcode?
@@BentOaksGarage 67154 $500 deductible. But I'm also 48 and Mike is a 2001 but still a busa. Lol!
That’s not full coverage and no add ons. Nothing wrong with that but some ppl want assurances if stolen or wrecked. JS
Racing?!?! Man, that’s BS. Sorry to hear that.
I live in a small hic town in Tennessee and the police are corrupt, sherif daughter got kicked off the force when she was caught with meth, his son (also a cop) was sent to jail for beating an inmate while he was in handcuffs (on film), and the sherif himself tried everything in his power to get them reinstated. They all play dirty around here.
@@BentOaksGarage wow!!! That’s crazy. Like a movie or something. Lol.
@@jray7265 it is, but sadly it's life around here. If you ever get bored and want a good read, Google Ed Graybeal - washington county sherif. He just resigned cause they wouldn't reinstate his kids.
@@BentOaksGarage I’ll do that as soon as I get home. Very interesting.
Got a 2008 and pay $125 yr
Gen 2 factory kickstand is faulty
Insurance = 😢😢😢
Factory limited 186/299
Mediocre tires
Lack of electronics
Wheelie happy
Well known bike
Relatively cheap
Good acceleration
Cop bait
I got a 2002 busa and no governor
Gotta love it. That special year before the gentlemans handshake agreement between the motorcycle companies. How fast have you had yours up to?
80usd/year for insurance and i have a K6 1000 gsxr in Hungary im lucky i guess🤣😂
Insurance coverage is ridiculous for the Hayabusa. I have 2 1260cc Ducati, and a 1250cc BMW. Those 3 bikes MSRP are all higher than my 2022 Hayabusa. $1,300 a year for the other 3 bikes combined, and $1,800 for just the gen 3!!! That’s full coverage for the year with a $100 deductible.
Needless to say, I had to make some changes, raising the deductibles and changing coverage.
My Gen 1 busa is the same as my 2002 SV650S ... class here as Sport Touring.... 450$ each
If a cop pulls you over and gives you a fals tiket, thats calld corruption,
In every aspect of it. Welcome to small town America. Where the cops are dirty and nothing we can do about it. Actually, last year, the sherif was finally thrown from his seat after 15 years, only after his daughter was kicked off the force for getting caught with meth amd his son got kicked off the force for breaking an inmates jaw, on camera, which the inmates hand handcuffed behind his back. Corrupt... currupt... currupt...
186 in under 9 seconds ?
I have a video of it being done under stupid shit people do channel.
My tires lasted 10k
My insurance is 100 dollars a year
Not true.. My 1800 m109 is cheaper than my Busa
What he said but opposite I find.
What “cons”...
&
“WHEELIES” a CON, for a 450lbs bike?🤨
Must be 2 & 3-Gen probs.
#BUSANATION🇺🇸🔥
Had busa gen/1. $3500!!! Burnt that baby up😂😂😂😂
#10 😂😂😂😂
Why would you buy a Hayabusa while the Zx14 is still around?
Because I hate Kawasaki!
@@BentOaksGarage nice
@@BentOaksGarage LMFAO
