    Busa was my 2nd bike I drove after 125cc. Absolutely an easy bike to ride and has insane power if you really need it. My father cant drive anything else anymore, he said he just gets nothing out of other bikes. He has tried multiple different brands and styles, but always buys back a Busa. When you get a new exhaust for it, you can hear it miles away. The silent low rumble is very distinct. I think they look amazing.

    Enjoyed your first review on the Busa, amazed this is your first encounter with a Hyperbike, in my biking past I've had the pleasure of owning Two Kawasaki ZZR 1400, I always felt that this type of bike was overlooked in what it offered, it's not all about the speed, they have engines that are bullet proof are very comfortable, and economical, when touring I could get 50 plus MPG, and enough power to encounter warp speed if you want. So I wasn't surprised you liked your first ride on it, shame you have not ridden the ZZR 1400 I think you would have had a big surprise in what it had to offer. looking forward to your next ride on the Busa. Thank you.

    When the first generation Hayabusa came out we (at Kawasaki) were developing the ZX-12, code named 'Project 320' - 320 being the target top speed in KPH. We were all shipped to the JARI test track in Japan to try them back to back. The day was epic. Amongst the group were retired GP riders and racers of the highest calibre as well as numpties like me. No one had ever ridden a faster pair of motorcycles: I wimped out at 296kph on the Busa with it still pulling!
    By the way, Honda's equivalent bike was the Blackbird, they named it after the spy plane but Suzook decided it was the garden bird as a Hayabusa is bird of prey that feeds on ... yep, blackbirds. Inspired!

    Best thing you can do with the Busa (I've had one) is put bar risers on it or flat bar it. Transforms the whole experience and makes it much more useable for us old decrepits. The Gen 3 is top of the list to join my stable with the proviso of those mods

      I had an '01 (the black and silver) and put risers on it. Gained an inch or so in height and slightly more angle to the grips. Those seemingly small changes made a world of difference. Far more comfortable. Hold on tight either way though, because every once in a while I'd forget to prepare, open the throttle wide, and promptly whack my tailbone against the seat cowl! Great fun. Too old for that now. Maybe...heh heh heh. 😉

    Was so excited when I saw the first official pics of this bike but have been so disappointed by all the road tests so far bar yours which I knew would be blinding. To actually hear the acceleration and the bike going up and down the gears was great quality video making! I love the fact you can now own a busa without people expecting you to do 200 mph as other sports bikes have now caught up. Cant wait to see the further updates I think it is a cracking looking futuristic machine and Suzuki have got the styling bang on and thank goodness a manufacturer has realised that you can have electronics and dials ! Great review thanks.

    Just run my Gen3 in, and very impressed thus far. Super stable, more agile than can be expected (and agile enough for my needs) and very comfortable. Add in the mid to high 40's in fuel economy and the plush seat and this machine is good for a long day out. The addition of cruise control and electronic package mean the Hayabusa is at last more than a match for the incredible ZZR1400.

    The whole bike has a premium quality to it. It's undoubtedly the best premium bike that Suzuki currently manufactures and sells. And this is reflected in the price. I think it may even match and surpasses any premium bike that the European bike manufacturers, can offer in 2021. Because it's the third generation 'Busa', Suzuki has spent a lot of time and research into refining and improving it. It's a well engineered machine.

    Iconic machine and very capable. I tend to ride where a bike feels at its easiest going. Bikes like this and the old Blackbirds have such a broad range of ability I can't trust myself not to be going way faster than I should be. My old K12S used to get more vibey and louder after 4500 rpm and let you know you were poking its fire. I prefer that character rather than those that are just so easy to go fast on.

      @@MikeTheBike58 They're truly fantastic machines and I love all rounders but, for me, they're too perfect in what they do, go fast. Handling and smoothness across the rev range allows you to wind it on, click up through the box, look down and realise you're doing 10, 20, 30 mph over the speed limit without even trying. I prefer something that lets me know I'm actually trying to push on, gets the juices flowing more at slower speeds as well.

    I had a Gen 1 full power version in 2000, and a new ZZR1400 last year. These are the sort of bike you tend to buy and sell after a season when you realise you can't use the power on UK roads without losing your licence. These big hyper sports bikes are great to ride though but boring as its hard to open them up properly. I reckon the saying "it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow" is true at least in the UK with our managed motorways and speed camera infested roads.

    I had a K5 stealth. Briefly... it had to go because it’s sheer capability of destroying anything close to a sensible speed was just too much. Brilliant and does exactly what it’s designed to. Too much for me, though. Great review Andy, cheers 🍻

    Glad you've reviewed the legendary 'Busa and also glad you took your own direction rather than the press day (I watched several of the videos and agree they were all pretty much the same).

    The one thing I hated about the Hayabusa was a mate who had a few of them, and the only way to get past him was to ride around the outside in the corners because they accelerate faster than anything I ever rode (VFR800 & R1200GS)!

    My friend had a Busa back in the early 2000's I had the Honda Blackbird both very similar bikes, I rode the Blackbird everywhere all year round back and forth to work, toured throughout Europe on it and just fun days at the weekends. My friend would take his Busa out at the weekends but that was it normally. Every year a gang of us would ride up to the North West 200 road race it was a good trip as we lived in the South East of Ireland at the time , but every time bar one the Busa always had electrical or mechanical (brakes) problems, it normally returned on a trailer, the Blackbird never let me down on a trip or whilst touring , it did have battery and alternator problems over the years but in general it was more reliable than the Busa. You should have a go on a Honda Blackbird super smooth machines

    You've got everyone's attention with this Busa teaser. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on riding long distances on the busa in your forthcoming videos. There is a very real chance this one will end up in the garage. I like the look, old-school gauges, technology, and torque. Hopefully, there will paniers that can be fitted for touring.

    Glad the Busa is back! The first gens were the fastest. EPA and Euro5 came down on Suzuki almost has hard as the EPA did on Harley here in the USA. Results in the tamest Busa ever made. I have a buddy that has a built gen two Busa and is waiting on his new detuned 2021/22 to come in. I'll get to take it out and beat snot out of it and see if the improved manors make up for the step down in beast mode. And your are right Sir. It is a iconic bike like a Wing, Street Glide, GS1200/1250 and others that none bikers know what it is on sight and has been since introduction.
