you gotta love how much of the japanese automobile industry is focused on motorcycles they constantly design low-end, affordable rides on the puny 125cc for the average man with the same passion and care that they'd put into their big 1000cc hyper sports. I particularly love the low-end side of things because of the heritage with the bosozoku since that whole thing was based on using small bikes that were easily customized/acquired, which probably fueled boosted the market for moar low-end bikes. Plus the vintage looks and analog displays are an actual godsend in these times of digital displays and carbon fiber dreams.

I remember when my dad got an 07 Hayabusa and I was literally terrified to get on it with him. He said he hit 210 on it before and my mom yelled at him for it lol. Also these are heavy as hell, my dad was 5'10 and maybe 230 and strong as hell but he always had trouble trying to wheelie it or even get it on a bike stand
@Ninja ZX-12R my dad's bike was not stock in the slightest, although I have no clue what he did to it as I was 13, but it was definitely capable of hitting 210 in a straight line
Kawasaki: I think that this bike has enough power Suzuki: *slaps seat of the bike* This motorcycle can fit many hrsprs in the engine. James: MO POWAH BABEH!!!!!!!!! 🔥 🔥
I think it's funny how people calm down once they see my busa. I also love how this bike strikes fear in the hearts of others. You never know if it's stock or built.
When you said it was named for a bird that eats other birds my first thought was, "Damn, Peregrine would be a cool name for motorcycle.", and then it all became clear a few minutes later.

@@787brx8 wow that's cool, i would really like to have a link on this , by the way a friend of mine was always insisted that smart for two was meant to have the bussa engine in the first place .. but somehow didn't went to production
My dad had one when I was a kid. I felt like the coolest kid ever when he would bring me to elementary school on it. Also being on one wheel doing about 75 when your 7 is probably the coolest/scariest feeling.
I'm on my second Hayabusa. Started with an "06 then a second gen 2011 bought it new. I never drink energy drinks NOS, never have, never will . Still own and ride my black machine.10.3 at the strip, I was proud of that. Good luck with this thread.....
Ram air intakes don't work on cars or motorcycles, they don't create boost. Theoretically, you could achieve a fraction of a pound of boost going close to 300mph. But in most applications, like in the Hayabusa, the intake is located in a high-airspeed zone. Bernoulli's Principle tells us that this creates a low pressure, so the ram air ducts offer lower performance than a typical under seat intake. But, they look cool...
If it’s between the engineering team at suzuki and this one guy on the internet with the free time to leave long comments, Ima have to say your wrong chief.
A forward-facing intake can indeed convert high air velocity into extra power, The problem for street bikes is the gain from ram air at 160 mph, (rarely attained on the street) is only around 3 percent, this indicates that for older production bikes this is more fashion than function, but it also provides cooler, denser air into the airbox which is beneficial to efficiency. Modern ram air ducts are mounted centrally, copying Moto GP practise, where the air pressure is highest, and routed through the steering head. Early twin ram air intakes like the Hayabusa's were mounted either side were the air pressure is lower, as a way to get around the issue of routing the air through the headstock.
Hayabusa is always my favourite bike even after riding so many bike, hayabusa still the best, stability and speed plus comfort. Thanks for you nice video. Really like your video
Great presentation, information-giving and humor - so lively! Busas are 1 of my dream bikes, so i really value the info you gave, ESPECIALLY, Your humor, yes, i had to mention it twice...

Nelson Lee he said his dad is 5’10 (imperial measure) so I doubt its kilometers
@@Novicearms feet and inches is how most people around the world measure either way... not many people say "oh hes 180 cm"
@Ninja ZX-12R my dad's bike was not stock in the slightest, although I have no clue what he did to it as I was 13, but it was definitely capable of hitting 210 in a straight line
And for my foreign friend.... that was heart warming james❤
ADITYA JAIN same
Sorry guys he meant me. Lol
I went from a 2017 ninja 650L to a 2008 hayabusa 1300R and I absolutely love it 😀
That H2 crash at the end never failed to make me laugh 😂
😂😂😂
What is up with that guy? 😂😂😂
@@invadercem2 probably got scared with the boost??
My butthole clenched
@@invadercem2 He can't handle the hrs prrs
The Monty python joke had me legitimately wheezing.
Nolan Carter same here
where?
I was hoping they'd go another round later on but they didn't :(
im so glad i wasnt the first to pick up on that XD
@@Thrillowatt nobody tell them
The only advertisement in a video that I never skip 😂🙌
Moe Motalz did you see the 2nd one at the very end... creepy
@@dogle9258 I know right 😂😂😂 but the "back to the show" is too classical 😂
The ultimate squid missile.
Also I appreciate the Monty Python reference.
Kawasaki: I think that this bike has enough power
Suzuki: *slaps seat of the bike* This motorcycle can fit many hrsprs in the engine.
James: MO POWAH BABEH!!!!!!!!! 🔥 🔥
Kawasaki: Let's revive the H2
Until the ZX14 came out to kill the bussa bois
I think it's funny how people calm down once they see my busa. I also love how this bike strikes fear in the hearts of others. You never know if it's stock or built.
When you said it was named for a bird that eats other birds my first thought was, "Damn, Peregrine would be a cool name for motorcycle.", and then it all became clear a few minutes later.
I just finished Ford V Ferrari for the second time and I cried at the ending in front of my mom. I am still crying a whole lot. This is one of the only things in entertainment that has done this to me. I guess seeing Matt Damon cry for his friend and the car world just breaks me.
My buddy in high school had one of these, couldn’t believe how comfortable and maneuverable it was. Stupid fast, wanted one ever since.
Fan fact:
The "busa" engine can feat perfectly in first generation smart for two , basically their engine mounts are almost identical
I designed it that way.
@@787brx8 so it's true ? 🤔
@@Pavlos_Charalambous Believe whatever you want to believe.
Maybe try some of the stuff on my page in the meantime?
I retired from designing things but there are A still few of my vehicles in the pipeline. My last vehicle design should remain A mystery so the price isn't artificially inflated.
@@787brx8 wow that's cool, i would really like to have a link on this , by the way a friend of mine was always insisted that smart for two was meant to have the bussa engine in the first place .. but somehow didn't went to production
James, I believe you’re pronouncing ‘Horse Power’ incorrectly.
It should be said ‘Hrs Prr’
Ken Deater my good sir you'll find it is infact "hurrrs purrrrs" good day.
Its actually hursse pursse
just got off the phone with Martian Webster, she told me to tell you it’s said like “hhrs pehrs”
I’m not even a car/bike guy but these guys and the editing is so top notch I had to subscribe
BRO. The random-ass Jean Claude Vandamme katana slice made me spit my coffee at my computer 😂🤣
When you are so early that there are no funny comments
The FerrMan ou gotta make one
We are working on it, jeez
The FerrMan When does a joke become a “dad joke”?
When it becomes apparent.
My dad had one when I was a kid. I felt like the coolest kid ever when he would bring me to elementary school on it. Also being on one wheel doing about 75 when your 7 is probably the coolest/scariest feeling.
Busa is a beast and this guy is hilarious. Love this video
Who else seeing that pop-up headlight bike for the first time
Some Honda Elite scooters had popup headlights in the 80s...
James: Up to Speed : Suzuki Hayabusa
Yammie noob: 😍😍😍
Proud squidlet here hahaha
Is that a yellow Porsche?!
Yammie noob is a loser
Why can’t we tag him lol! Fellow squid myself 😂
someone mention this to daddy Yams..
shoutout to 'busas for being one of the only vehicles black people universally love
Why cause they wanna put 24 lol
lemme fix
shoutout to every gixxer for being the only bike black people universally love
Black guy here and I can confirm that neither I nor my fellow black friends like either of those bikes. Or really bikes in general so...you're dumb.
Speak for yourself ... damn things are fucking ugly
@@watchesandcaps2566 you're fucking lame
I'm on my second Hayabusa. Started with an "06 then a second gen 2011 bought it new. I never drink energy drinks NOS, never have, never will . Still own and ride my black machine.10.3 at the strip, I was proud of that. Good luck with this thread.....
Everything you need to know: Ayrton Senna
@@RizalBatheki but in theory, is about a person and not about F1
Watch the documentary Senna!
@Star Saber it's very biased that I will not deny, but it's a good starting point, plus aside from its bias its beautifully edited and directed
Ram air intakes don't work on cars or motorcycles, they don't create boost.
Theoretically, you could achieve a fraction of a pound of boost going close to 300mph. But in most applications, like in the Hayabusa, the intake is located in a high-airspeed zone. Bernoulli's Principle tells us that this creates a low pressure, so the ram air ducts offer lower performance than a typical under seat intake. But, they look cool...
The more you know!
If it’s between the engineering team at suzuki and this one guy on the internet with the free time to leave long comments, Ima have to say your wrong chief.
@@altarancho he is right about ram air intakes not really working at motoring speeds, dunno about reduced performance tho
A forward-facing intake can indeed convert high air velocity into extra power, The problem for street bikes is the gain from ram air at 160 mph, (rarely attained on the street) is only around 3 percent, this indicates that for older production bikes this is more fashion than function, but it also provides cooler, denser air into the airbox which is beneficial to efficiency. Modern ram air ducts are mounted centrally, copying Moto GP practise, where the air pressure is highest, and routed through the steering head. Early twin ram air intakes like the Hayabusa's were mounted either side were the air pressure is lower, as a way to get around the issue of routing the air through the headstock.
Hayabusa is always my favourite bike even after riding so many bike, hayabusa still the best, stability and speed plus comfort. Thanks for you nice video. Really like your video
Yup they got fed up and bought the legend back 2021 HAYABUSAAAAAA ❤️
Perfect timing donut!
There are rumors about Suzuki is releasing Hayabusa next year
They are, the prototype is already out
You know what's that
#UNKNOWNVARIABLE
Thank you for putting motorcycles on the spotlight ❤
I see a motorcycle episode, I click like.
No matter which car, or bike you give me, no matter how many stories you tell me bout other manufacturers, my love for Busa will never NEVER end
you had a Monty Python Knights of the Holy Grail reference! another reason i love this show haha. best movie ever.
"HoW DoEs ThAt FeEl EuRoPe?"
*Laughs in a ridiculous amount of cars banned in america*
Lol
Cries in emission rules
There is no ridiculous amount of banned cars KEKW fake news Eu at it again
Unfortunately
@@jedimasterjoe5386 How's your JDMs doing?
3:32 Man that had me rolling on the floor😂😂😂
3:16 It finally happened! The Up To Speed for the Kawasaki Ninja is OUT!!
We gonna have a bruh moment if james doesnt do a up to speed on his dad
The danger zone part was the greatest few seconds of this show after the pop up headlights song
*it’s a motorcycle that’s named after a bird that eats other birds*
- Donut media 2019 -
I'm pretty sure it translates to "God of wind" in Japan
They called it the hayabusa because the hayabusa kills blackbirds, hondas top speed holder.
@@916hayabusa That is correct. Hayabusa is a Peregrine Falcon that does eat Black birds...which happened to be Honda's Halo bike at the time.
@@edgarperez1595 No it doesn't..that would be ironical Kamikaze 🤔
Great presentation, information-giving and humor - so lively! Busas are 1 of my dream bikes, so i really value the info you gave, ESPECIALLY, Your humor, yes, i had to mention it twice...
I been facing rough situations for a while, but videos like yours, bring me a joy for life - even if for a brief moment, which hasnt been in most days, for a good while now - without your video, and others like it.
Great job; i appreciate your quality work❣️
Ohhh, I still remember drooling over Blackbirds in the show room when I'd go to the Honda dealer for parts and stuff. Then the RC-51...
I still drool over the Rc-51!! They may be a little dated looking nowadays but they sound amazing!!!
Love the motorcycle additions !!!
8:17 wanted to see the end of that clip
th-cam.com/video/jRxzRQLEKQU/w-d-xo.html
This was introduced to whole India on 2004..One year after biker boys... In the movie DHOOM..
The whole opening credit scene was a 2 minute close cam artistic shots of busa..
And since, it became the "DHOOM BIKE"
James’ ad endorsements are the only ones I never skip
My guy mentioned Biker Boyz. This channel officially the coolest
The beard god of cars is on bikes now!?!?!?!? Holy crap‼️‼️‼️ Interest peaked‼️‼️‼️
there was an episode on the harley-davidson co before. it seems viewers were interested and responded positively, so they made another bike video. I can say I enjoyed it
I’m the guy that went from a ninja 250
to a Hayabusa GSX-1300R
FEAR TRAINS YOU🇺🇸
Owned my Hayabusa for more than 10 years
(never laid her down)
and
I’ve never watched one of these.
This will be a binge festival😃
HAYABUSA-“MO POHWA BUHBEA”!
TURBO BUSA MOTHERF*CKA!!!
🤣🤣🤣
FALCON *COMING FOR YO ASS*
Loool
*BEST STARTER BIKE NO DOUBT*
Yammie noob much?
when I first saw a few episodes of this up to speed thing, I thought I would get sick of the mo powah babeh and pop up up and down headlights meme so fast....
all I can say now is MO POP UP UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS BABEH
I love how iconic the Hayabusa is. I just hate the round old school looking fairings it uses . I wish they still made these things
Lucky enough to own the Busa's unloved stepbrother the "B King".... That great 1340 in a streetfighter. Win-win! Love that bike.
The sponsor segments have been getting increasingly funnier. We approve. 😂
Yeah I need some nos. Where do I buy it in Frankfurt Germany. Can I get them with donut label? Special edition
May one future episode be:
Everything you need to know | Up to Speed : Yamaha V-max
YESSS vmac pleaseeeee
Yes please !!!
Monster
The Spirit of Vengeance approves.
A power cruiser
Finally you did the episode on the THICC boi ❤👌
Now do the honda v4s like the Interceptor, Sabre and Magna!! (All 3 of my babies are from 84 and still run like they were assembled yesterday)
I got an 85 magna v30 but I can't get the carbs to stop leaking
Love this bike. I've dreamt about it since it first came out when I was a kid. One day I will have one!
YOOOO I had episode 4 on VHS when I was a wee lad and ALSO thought it was the only movie! #livingwithgrandma
i feel like i remember when james said "we don't do motorcycles"
Money
Motorcycles are cooler tho
@@shivamsamaroo2482 negative
Absolutely positive bud
James, Return of the Jedi came out the year I was born, and I thought it was a stand alone movie too! Don't feel to bad. 🤣
I picked up an unrestricted 99 busa this year. My all time favorite bike, that power will get you in trouble lol
