2024 SUZUKI HAYABUSA RIDE & REVIEW | STATS-FACTS- And Everything you Want to know

[@MikeS42069]

I love that they left the analog gauges! Such a classic legend!

[@RayBowdenRides]

Mike it's a AWESOME machine! I want one, Thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻. Please Stay in Touch!

[@govnor1495]

I have one of these and love it. It's a little misunderstood. It's for older guys that don't want a Harley or a Goldwing just yet. It's no longer the fastest bike or best handling bike but if you want to ride 300 miles in a day it's great at that. It will still embarrass supercars and just about anything else and never break down.

[@cloudcata8300]

Got mine back in November, same color scheme. 2-3 years down the line I'll get another one in black so I can have two, I love the torque and how smooth it is and best of all, engine reliability. I don't really care about other bikes. This one right here can actually carry two people just fine, good luck taking your girlfriend or wife on a 1000cc for a ride that's longer than 30 minutes.

It is a wicked cool bike!!!

Hey Derek good morning sir ,Thank you for Watching and Being apart of this channel my friend!!

[@joemarshall449]

As always, a great first ride review Ray! By the way, the dealership is making great deals this month. I bought the last 2023 (new) GSX-S750 they had on the floor. You reviewed it a few weeks ago, so that's what got my attention, Ray. And after some more research, here we are with it at home. Ask for Tom, he'll work hard to get you the best deal, man. To show ya how old I am, I started riding sport bikes just after the "busa" came out LOL

[@RayBowdenRides]

I'm your age then!! I was talking to Tom about you other day!! Tom's a great guy!! I love that guy. And I'm not one of those me and my wife been married 10 years. We need to go ride together!! Soon

Thanks for the video, I purchased a black 2023 new about 5 weeks ago. It's getting pretty hot here in AR, so I've only got about 180 mi on it so far. very fun to ride, haven't had in A mode yet, still getting used to it--it is a beast even to me in B mode so far, but I love riding it.

[@mrdarryk1]

I just got mine last month. Black on Black... Rides great but has some starting issues. When I shut it off to get fuel, it hesitates to restart. Actually thought it was the battery, but think it may be the starter.

[@paulbrown895]

Everything about thay bike is awesome. Great review on it Ray.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Thank you Paul, Thanks for Commenting my friend!!

[@Lowend_Chug]

Hey Ray, I’m seriously considering the 25 in Green for the Busa. What is the Torque like on this bike? I’ve never owned such a large bike - typically 750’s, 800’s and 900’s. Been riding many years. Tend to be more cautious rider, like you, tamed down a lot with age (and a few broken bones)😁. Is this bike manageable power or is the onset of power just wicked full-on?? I need to test ride this bike still…..

[@RayBowdenRides]

It's fast no doubt, the first thing you will notice is the maneuverability is a little more to deal with because of its weight. But the tradeoff is it feels so much more planted compared to a 800cc size bike. You need to test ride one! But it's really the best of both worlds.

[@Lowend_Chug]

@ Thanks Ray!🙏🙏 Yeah bud, I need to test ride one. I can handle the weight, I just want to know I can manage the power band. I’m sure it will be manageable. I am SO looking forward to the Spring next year. We’re covered in snow and ice here nowadays. God bless! Have a lovely weekend!

[@MojoCycle]

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

Nice video as always, Ray. This video made me miss my '22. I haven't ridden her nor even started her in a month. Been raining here in PR a lot, then consecutive days of record-breaking heat waves, and that has affected my mood and desire to ride. Gonna pull the cover off today and give her a good wash and detail.

[@RayBowdenRides]

You better , it could be worse! Enjoy that bad boy you got sitting in your garage!! Do you realize how many people would give anything to have what you already GOT? Let me know when you got her clean again!!! Good talking to you again!!

[@markettradinggenius]

Hey Ray, quick question of a comparison. From your observations and years of experience, do you think that the newest MV Agusta motorcycles, such as the MV Agusta Assen and MV Agusta Rush 1000 Limited Edition, have as much of a good reliability to those motorcycles as the Suzuki Hayabusa does ?

[@RayBowdenRides]

Genius I'll be Honest with you and tell you a guy I know bought a 23 Mv Rush and had some warranty issues and what he told me is it takes forever to get parts. Now you take 3 different people and you'll get 3 different options! I think they are works of art. I don't really ride my bike like other people do, I've got 2200 miles on my M1000R in 2 years - and love it !! Ktm I think just bought Mv or the other way around. Just go to youtube and do your research- I want one myself. I don't think it's the kind of Bike you want to ride every day. But I would buy one- but I'm a risk Taker. And you are too , I've won more than I've lost! That probably doesn't help you - Do what makes you happy- we only have a short time to enjoy life to the fullest. Genius miss talking to you, Have a AWESOME weekend!

[@markettradinggenius]

@@RayBowdenRides Thanks brotha....I tell you one thing from what I learned, so far, is that you don't get the MV Rush or Assen for 'everyday riding'. That is pretty much reserved for the hayabusa and with the highest reliability factor, you can absolutely ride the busa as a 'daily rider' without ever having issues with the electronics or engine !

[@jaymehta3504]

Hello there I'm jay, Want.your opinion between this motorcycle (hayabusa) that I saw in your video And z H2 or h2 sx se 2024. Which is better in Overall practicality. I'm planning to get my next motorcycle, So I just wanted to hear your opinion. Thank you. Love all your video's

[@RayBowdenRides]

Well 1st of all if your going to be Riding long distances The H2-SX. If it's outright Hp and around town the ZH2, But the Busa is kind of best of both worlds, The Busa is a little Heavy though. Really you need to go look and sit on all of them! It's going to be your bike. Thanks for Watching all the Videos🙏🏻. Hey Jay stay in Touch and I'm here to Help. Don't be afraid to ask ANYTHING. Stay in Touch and have a AWESOME Sunday!

[@ravioli2389]

The Legend has done it again, " RBR "! This is the bike that I learn how to ride in the early 2000's, me and my cousin taking turns going up and down the block, on my uncle's Haya. He would say, " stop being scared and go stretch it out ", I was scared about dropping it and messing up the $3k paint job on it. Good review Mr. Ray, you S.O.B. 👍 💪👏👏👏🔥🔥

[@barackblows1942]

@@markettradinggenius For me the Hayabusa is more comfortable than the HD. I just ride local maybe 100-150 miles. Leaning forward a little on the Busa keeps pressure off my lower back. 😎

@markettradinggenius yes! Miss ya buddy.

[@markettradinggenius]

@@RayBowdenRides Hey buddy. Just went to the online dealership that you test ride your bikes from and saw that they have something like 4 new 2024 hayabusa's for sale that are all under $18K and with a destination charge of less than $600 ...they can ship the bikes, I'm assuming, from their dealership to Virginia. Not sure how long that would take from the time of sale to the time of arrival...the thing about hayabusa is that there's plenty of master mechanics that can work on the bike in Virginia :)

I just finished watching your GSXR750 video. Good job with that video. Looking forward to this Hayabusa video. Hayabusas are a man's bike, like the Kawasaki ZX14. Actually, any 1000cc sport-bike or naked is a man's bike. You don't mess around at all, just use the power for good, not for evil. ;o) That's a big bike, x-large. Perfect touring bike too. Big insurance prices on GSXRs! Ask before buy.
