2024 Suzuki Hayabusa *RARE* 25th Anniversary Edition - Only 25 in the Country! In-Depth Review

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I bought a first gen Hayabusa the first year they came out. Over the years I have owned 6, my most recent a gen 3 (2023, all black) that I have put 3,000 miles on. The gen 3 is by far the most competent of them all.

[@voyagerdecoded]

Holy shit dude what do you do for a living? I don’t even own 1 and my only chance of getting one is through the give away at Moore mafia

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I wasn't going to reply regarding work, but decided I would. It's not so much 'what I do' as the fact I am able to do copious amounts of overtime. Coupled in with the fact I do not drink or smoke and it has afforded me the most fabulous life. Cars and bikes are what I spend my money on, little else.@@voyagerdecoded

[@Mo-xx9gg]

About to buy my first! Excited brother!

[@shalengajadhar5653]

Owned the Gen 2 and Gen 3 and must agree. Gen 3 is such a refined machine.

[@91supra313]

I love the title, "only 25 in the country". Wrong unless the dealership i got my 24 busa from had 4 of them.

[@bryangoldsmith1238]

This will be my first street bike, since getting out of riding dirt bikes.

[@PeterLoweOne]

Big step up! Be patient getting to know it, but fun bike!! Enjoy!!

[@bigt2381]

I ordered mine today

[@PeterLoweOne]

Nice! You're going to love it!!

[@Mo-xx9gg]

So how can it be a 2024 Hayabusa exactly? Explain...

[@PeterLoweOne]

Really? I don't make the numbers up. For MANY years next year models have been introduced before the calendar year changes over. This is how the global auto industry works. A model year is part of the name, not a number representing the date of manufacture.

[@goodymob9638]

Chris Moore has 3 of the 25 😂

[@PeterLoweOne]

He's American. I film in Canada where there are only 25 here.

[@khajaaerajuddinbiyabani3772]

I'm confused, Is this 25th anniversary edition bike's colour Red or Blaze orange because in some videos it looks like it's red & in some it's orange. Exactly which colour is it ?

[@PeterLoweOne]

It's orange, but for some reason, my camera has a tough time accurately reproducing the colour. I have the same issue when I film KTM bikes. The orange isn't accurate.

[@9rider11]

A Gen 1 was my first bike. A Gen 2 was my second bike. Responsible riding is key.

I just put a deposit for one in Australia. Sposedly arriving Jan 2024 for us. Can't wait!

[@BlackArroToons]

Cool colors of the Red and black for this monster bike.

[@PeterLoweOne]

It's actually orange, but it definitely showed up red on camera. It's a GREAT looking bike in person. Definitely has some presence to it. It looks and feels special.

Boja katastrofa za lumited verziju Buse,mogao je to Suzuki mnogo bolje da odradi sto se boje tice,kupicu i nju iako posedujem jednu gen.1 na kojoj imam 10000km,ali u drugoj boji

[@addamochs]

I'm not a crotch rocket kinda guy, but I've always loved the Busa. I don't know if it would handle my fat ass or if I'd like it. I know, right of the bat, I'd want to go with a wide front tire. I see on Faceplant all the time that the Harleys handle PHENOMENALLY with a 180 front. My pickup is almost paid off. I just might have to look into buying a Busa....

[@robbiebob6267]

25 to Canada?.... really? I've been told that 50 are coming to Australia.🇭🇲

[@PeterLoweOne]

Australia likely had a bigger bike culture than Canada. Good for you!!

There is a lot of speculation/talk that the 2024 Hayabusa is going to have VVT .... Is that true?.🤔

[@MotoRiderGR]

One of the best reviews. You should ride it also and make some sound as well!

[@jaybrown29]

Is the 25th anniversary only in orange?

[@PeterLoweOne]

Yeah, it is.

[@valerka57]

You need to be cloned and sent to all auto and motorcycle dealerships. Or at least write a manual with pictures (the level of education is falling dramatically). With all due respect! 🤠

[@PeterLoweOne]

The beauty of the internet is that they don't have to clone me, they can just show my videos. (that would really help me out! 😃👍)

[@raymonddeleon1977]

nice

[@LuisSantiago-ke9bi]

I just bought one here in the USA. I heard there were only 800 distributed in America and I also heard only 300. How can I find out what number mine is?

[@PeterLoweOne]

I'm wondering if the serial number would indicate something, but I wish they had a labelling system.

[@victorgonza4528]

Modified fan angle? Not sure you got that right other then that great machine

[@PeterLoweOne]

Yeah, if I said that, I misspoke. The air vents away from the rider. That's what I would have been trying to say.

[@thorheimdal2235]

👍🙂🇧🇻🙋‍♂️

[@lordzortak]

Hmm, mines an 09. First bike I have owned more than 2 years. You wont be disappointed with the heritage behind this machine. I suspect a few of my friends will be dropping by to have a look, it will be interesting to see who picks it up.

[@nyalakan3971]

[@Cornel1001]

Regardless by experience you will need additional training to ride this bike by the book !

[@FRJMJ]

Nice

[@gonzasssful]

Isn't the color actually visible to the eye the opposite of orange/red?

[@PeterLoweOne]

Oh man. I'm not a scientist. All I can tell you is that colours on camera (or on your screen) will almost never look exactly as they do in person. In this video, the bike appears to be red. In real life it appears to be more orange.

[@cbrxxrr]

Fyi ...its not rare, its just another busa like the other 3 on the block

[@PeterLoweOne]

But it's got a cool paint scheme and badging! It's still unique, and it's an anniversary edition where only 25 are being sent to this country. That may not be the type of rare that you want to see, but it's still a unique and relatively rare version of a familiar bike.

Hi

[@-----------------4-----4-666]

Здравствуйте, подойдет для новичка?

[@PeterLoweOne]

I would not recommend this bike for a beginner.

[@Sangadpuri]

Is it gonna be a limited edition? Like maybe increasing in value as a collector product

[@PeterLoweOne]

I'm not good at predicting what will rise in value or not, but yes, it is a limited edition. Only 25 of these are coming to Canada. I'm not sure of the exact numbers coming to other areas.

[@TheSteveSteele]

If it was between the H2, Ninja ZX-14R and a Busa, I’d probably go with the Busa, mainly due to its ability to tour and the large 3rd party market. Kawasaki is doing some nice things but there’s something to be said for a bike that’s been around for 25 years and is still supported by 3rd parties. Suzuki seems to have a few bikes like that.

[@holybutterfly8495]

I try to buy one but I scared too heavy to me. What did you reckon about this bike is good or too heavy ?

[@wakajawaka44]

I sold my 2022 Hayabusa because it was too heavy for me 267kg. I never felt confident turning this bike at slow speed. If you drop the bike it could be expensive! I also had trouble selecting 2nd gear at times. Some bike reviewers also complained about the same problem. It is a lovely bike and sounds wonderful but that weight got the better of me.

[@dire-decadence]

@@TheSteveSteele That’s a mighty motorcycle my man, I appreciate the inference. You’re right, it is reminiscent of a Busa’-though in its own right it’s a beautiful bike. Personally-my two favourite bikes’ will always be a battle between the innovative Kawasaki’s ninja h2 lines and the timeless and brilliant Busa. To my thinking; They’re the best around. At any rate, Japanese quality and precision is unmatched in this industry.

[@elementalmstar2392]

Its supposed to be orange

[@danielresch2975]

There's nothing on that bike that's very rare compared to the other 2024 except stickers 🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@PeterLoweOne]

So I thought about that, but what would you want them to do? It's not like this is a mid-range bike for them where they can dig into their parts bin and put a higher end component on it from a more sporty bike. As legendary as the Hayabusa is, it's still not a high volume bike as far as sales numbers, so you can't add so much that you price it too high to sell. Maclean's Sports sells a LOT of bikes but even they still have a 2023 model next to it in the showroom. So I think it's a tough thing to do. We can all say what we'd like this thing to be, but unless we're willing to part with our money for it, I kind of understand why Suzuki did what they've done.

Not the best looking bike around. the heart of the bike is the engine on this bike its fully enclosed nothing to see. naked bikes are the best as the engine is visible. I have a 2018 truimph speed triple r. its a masterpiece in comparison to that suzuki.

[@PeterLoweOne]

I've always loved a fully faired sport bike. The Hayabusa isn't the most up to date style right now, but it's absolutely legendary for what it is. You're right, this bike is ALL about the engine, but the nice updates in tech really improve this bike from it's beginnings to now.

[@allanfoster5418]

@PeterLoweOne well said 👏 but still nice to see engine in full view. Hayabusa is basically a fast car on 2 wheels.
