Never ridden the h2 but have ridden the new Busa and I want one. Really good bike. super smooth, super comfortable and super capable. Also keep in mind MCN said the new Busa is the fastest production bike they have ever tested which is a serious statement. Bruce anstein did a 2.6 second 0-60 with all rider aids turned off. Amazing bike I need one.

As a tall rider in my 40s I find the gen 3 hayabusa to be nearly the perfect twisties/SPORT Touring bike out there today. Your comment on the view was spot on. Plenty of power but comfortable for long aggressive rides. The H2 is awesome for an afternoon rip, the Busa is awesome for a multi day trip. I also think the busa being under stressed and naturally aspirated will have much better longevity than the H2, but we will see. I bought the busa, the H2 is an awesome bike to have borrow from a friend for a day or two :)

Interesting review, I test rode the new Hayabusa when they first came available and went on to buy a secondhand H2 SX SE in May. The Suzuki has a smoother engine, slicker gearbox and a 'magic carpet' ride over bumps, it also has a long wheelbase and relatively slow steering so you need to set it up for corners in advance. The riding position is a bit odd, feet feel up and forward and bars relatively low, not painful but a bit 1990's. My Kwak (now with set up suspension & remap) has a motor that feels more urgent than the Suzuki and is at least as strong through the rev range although the box is not as smooth. For a big bike it handles very well, doesn't quite absorb bumps as well but is sharper and more agile. Riding position is more relaxed on the wrists and is more conventional and knder on the knees with lower pegs than the Busa. Equipment levels are very similar but crucially my bike comes with superb Kawaski panniers and also provides a pillion with a better view of what's going on with its stepped seat. I could easiy have gone for the Hayabusa but now I have my H2 set up as I want it I'm glad I saved a few quid and went for that instead as for me its now the sportier and more complete bike.

Thanks for the post Mr. Chops. Both epic bikes, no doubt. For a motorcyclist up to mid-fifties (ish), on good roads (UK??🤔), little traffic restrictions and license-losing speed cameras, it has to be the H2. With aforesaid restrictions, a few more wrinkles and grey hairs and the old rationality spirit barking in to your ears, it’s the Busa, no question. I guess that’s why you’ll end up with a Busa; you know it makes sense.

It's a refined but still raw musclebike H2 vs a luxury leir jet of a bike hayabusa. both electronics controlled, both very powerful and fast! but totally different animals! busa is like a truckload of your favorite ice cream. H2 is like jumping off a 500ft cliff but knowing you have a parachute. of course if you put turbo on that busa it would likely beat up the H2 for about same total money.. however it would change the busa into what it half was never meant to be, and take away everything civilized and relaxing about it. great comparison video! 😊 what made the busa famous is being so comfy, so practical, so civilized, yet from any gear any rpm you can go hyper fast!! the H2 famous for that supercharger sound, performance and potential top speed. buy either of these and you better have a tankbag full of donuts for the cops!! 😆

I bought a ZX-14 after test riding it and the 'Busa in 2008. That Kawasaki was way more comfortable than the Suzuki, so I bought it to ride 12,000 kms around North America. It was the right choice then, but now I've watched a bunch of 'Busa ride videos - (Chopsie's are the best) I am desperate to go out and test the new Hayabusa ASAP. I haven't owned a Suzuki since my 1980 Dunstall Suzuki 1000 in 1981 (a lightly used '80 model). At my age (69) I'll be happy to leave it stock and quiet. I am so past loud pipes now after several Ducatis...

I've got both. You nailed it. Superbly accurate. Mine's an unplugged 253hp H2. Considering Supercharger step up gears for 300hp+ (stage 3, not 4 as don't need the extra heat, or weight). Good for 300hp without an intercooler & overheating. Amazing. Optional intercooler (from Ben at Extreme Creations just down the road from me in Sydney, Aus), though not really needed as it still stays cool until 300hp+ unless unless you're Eeeb 6 something & his idiot stretched friends. Prefer not to have the extra intercooler weight. No comparison. H2 is wild (every ride is an experience, unlike any other bike), Hayabusa GT could send you into an intercontinental sleepy haystack /armco going to South of France. 100 times more respect for the "serious" H2. Deadly weapon! Demands respect, like an Ak 47. No comfort to ensure there's no drifting off. Best bike ever built (well beyond belief). Keep safe & switched on! H2 - "Are you experienced?!" enough to stay alive?
