2021 Suzuki Hayabusa first ride | Road, Top Speed Run at 183mph & Crazy Wheelies

[@jimbrown3419]

I am 67 years old and have owned a total of 30 motorcycles, all makes and models. My 2009 Hayabusa was one of the most memorable.

Chris Northover is by far the best motorcycle journalist and tester. He knows how to give you the actual information you need to know about the bikes without declaiming the manufacturer's same stuff as other motorcycle journalists do. Also, he is funny and charismatic just a joy to watch his reviews.

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Cheers Anton, we'll pass it on.

[@Xsheaffer]

Agree! One of the few who can actually ride.

[@drink4711]

5:20 that braking is phenomenal. And the giggles at the end! Just had to watch that again a few times

[@MotorcyclesForMatures]

Me too , lucky Chris ✌🏻

[@FullmetalSP1]

I shat my dacks for him, watching that. Don’t know if I would trust a bike that I had just got on to do that.

[@blipco5]

Choam, I'm sure he thought he was in the grass as well. Top rider there. 👍

[@Beyondthepress]

That's called abs now days, makes braking on straight line almost too easy.

[@drink4711]

​@@Beyondthepress The system is great for sure, but I think most of us would have ended up on the grass anyway

[@iansians6703]

Top comment in that it makes 110mph feel like 50mph. I bought my first Busa in 2001 and thats exactly the reaction I had then. I couldn't believe how fast I was actually going. Fortunately, I also couldn't believe how fast the brakes stopped the bike, otherwise I would have definitely been in the bushes on the first ride. Good to hear it still has that same impact.

[@jerrycobaugh1239]

Am 72 and bought my first Hayabusa. Have owned many bikes from ZX14, to recently bought a 2023 Triumph Rocket 3R. I love this bike. It it smooth and crazy at the same time

[@TRexHeliPilot]

Just love Chris's reviews, even when they are on bikes that really don't fit my interest. His genuine enthusiasm for all things motorcycling just draws you in to whatever it is he is talking about. Great work Chris, the other journos can't touch you!

Spot on review! You get it, you get the rider that will buy this. Quickly becoming my favorite bike reviewer.

Totally agree. I’ve watched his Supercharged Kawasaki video a bunch of times. Was sad when this one ended after only 7.5 minutes.

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Totally agree bro… the busa isn’t my kinda bike, but his reviews and vids are great!

[@TheRVConnection]

Great review and totally on point. I have a 2013 'Busa after having owned several sport bikes. It gives you the thrill of speed like a sport bike, but it's larger and more comfortable. When I ride with my small group, we typically do 400-500 mile days, which is no problem. It corners MUCH better than people think, especially with some sticky Dunlop Sport Max tires. If wind buffeting (and the law) weren't a concern, you really could ride this bike at 120-140 mph all day long. I've owned quite a handful of bikes in my life, but the 'Busa is by far my favorite. It does everything well.

[@russellfriend2029]

I've watched many Busa revues, thats the best summary yet, thankyou.

Cheers Mike!

[@captainbimble]

Had a Gen 2 Busa for 7 years and it was one hell of a machine. It could pull a tank down the road! But in the end, the clip on bar riding position got too much for my bad back so had to trade her in for a more upright bike. But what a great 7 years I had! This new model looks really nice. More angular in places but undeniably a Busa. The legend lives on!!!

[@disekjoumoer]

Ah Chris, I just love your reviews, man. That laugh after that one run was pure gold.

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

[@Flip01]

Awesome review Chris, looks like you had lots of fun. Great wheelie and braking demonstration. 👍

[@SMBBM92]

Yes! Been waiting for this! Edit: Great review as always, I don't think I'm in the target demo for the big busa but you have to respect Suzuki for keeping the bike alive. It's certainly filling a new position of the biking world than it's predecessor but I think it's settled in quite nicely and it's great to see it get a proper update after all this time.

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

5:48 Perfect description. I own a matte silver/candy red one and that's how I feel about it. It's not like my '06 ZX-10R, which always feels anxious and on the verge. It's not a calming ride at all. The new 'Busa is nice even going slow and doesn't feel boring. It's such a different vibe. Warp speed is available at any moment, but it's not required to have an enjoyable ride. The Ninja going slow always tempts me to go fast. It's such a contrasting experience, always teetering on the edge of suspense in any gear.

I’m not done with my sports bike phase yet but in a few years potentially I might head this way. I saw one on the road yesterday and since then my interest has been piqued, it looked spectacular and sounded special!

[@digger8180]

Great review Chris, Fantastic looking machine, always admired the Hyabusa having owned a Blackbird and currently running a K1300S. Suzuki have sharpened up the looks, perhaps my next machine unless Honda have a rethink, I doubt if they will. Look forward to more of your posts👍🏻

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

Great review. The child in me (at 69 years old) really wants a Hayabusa, .... but my knees say no thanks. My current bike's a '88 Katana 1100 where the riding position looks pretty similar and the steep bend in the knees with me being 6'1" feels too cramped at times. I think I'm almost at that adventure bike age now. ;)

[@joe_dg]

Good reviews. Braking hard on approaching the grass and then the laughter, that is how we two wheelers know our heart is healthy😁😁

[@nyalakan3971]

Best big bike in the word hayabusa no 1 👍

[@shadwox9808]

the fun of the BUSA for me is just like when you see a FERRARI down the rode you know that its fast you know that they have all the power in the world so when you come to a red light and people see your BUSA they not gonna try you, they gonna respect the POWER that they know you have and that enought to make me smile great video mate.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat !! Thank God they had the sense to keep the analogue dials rather than put a stupid LCD panel with everything stupid digital.

@@Showmetheevidence- Nothing wrong with Carburetors my friend. All the best bikes in history had them and most are worth a fortune today. These modern bikes won't be collectable, rather more like white goods. They look shit, out of proportion and lack the soul the older gen bikes did. These rider aids are a bad thing too. Doesn't allow you to learn to ride properly without all this Nanny State controls kicking in. I would bet money someone who never got to ride an older bike, say from the 90's, who only rode a modern pussy bike, would most likely kill themselves on the older bike. We never had traction control, ABS, lift control and all that other malarkey. We learned to ride like Men. My 2001 ZX9R is a Carburetor bike, with no rider aids and it's a joy to ride.

Everything he said, is what they said about the Gen I. A lot of weight, but you don't notice when it's rolling. I still have my 2000... got it down to about 480lbs. Had a Gen II as well for a few years, but kept the original. Now, about who it appeals to? I was 47 yrs old, and had 14 years of a Gixxer, when I bought the "cult" Busa. The most perfect, easy bike to ride. Handles impeccably. I don't think I'm too old at 68 to love the 3rd incarnation. (And get a lowered seat.) Oh, and I'm a little old lady with two Corvettes...and have owned over 30 bikes, but the Busa is a keeper.
