I own the 2022 I'm 5 foot 6 at 70kgs, 52 yr old had sports bikes all my life I'm a daily rider, and I take the missis on long trips I had gen 1 this bike is simply brilliant love love love it 👍💪😁

[@karmyeldnih3745]

This bike is for the Guy who is suffering a sever mid life crisis. They say the answer is not at the bottom of a bottle, and they are correct. The answer is on the seat of a Hayabusa. People this bike IS the answer, it is the answer to all your problems. This bike will make you smile, giggle like a teenager on weed and laugh like you have never laughed before. Trust me, the Hayabusa is the answer, it;s the answer to everything the universe can throw at you.

[@morayr6]

So was the gsxr1000 until Suzuki pulled it from Europe

[@allwheeldrive]

Just love what they did with gen 3. Really smart, and it's still undeniably a Hayabusa. A perfect candidate for riser bars, dropped pegs and some nice luggage. A longer-range jet for the tarmac. Awesome.

[@multibusa]

Hi do you know of a link to any lowered pegs if they still exist? I’m sure Heli will do clip on risers. I put Givi hard luggage on my gen 1 and gen 2 Busa. I purchased a multi purpose fitting kit from Give which enabled me to fit my Wingrack off my old Blackbird, the only extra thing I needed was a length of m12 stainless threaded rod that I fit behind the reg plate to fix the to sections of Wingrack together. The set up was solid and easily carried 2 Givi panniers and a large Givi top box. Cheers

[@chris6559]

Love it, ex Blackbird owner, now in my 60's and not sharp enough for that sort of crazy anymore, Tracer 900 enough for me now but fuck I'd like this bike in my garage.

[@CuriousDroid]

I had one of the original copper and silver ones back when they first came out in 1999 and I found that one really smooth and much nicer to ride than the TL1000R I had before. When I saw that they had brought it back with a 2021 spec and at £16.5k I must admit that I'm tempted, its a toss-up between this, the ZH2, H2 SX SE or Triumph speed triple 1200 RS all quite different I know so I'll have to get to the dealers to try them. As to what it's for.... mmm when I have the same question of my 2020 Rocket 3R, that's in a category all its own and I think the Hayabusa and its history is just one of those bikes that is the same. So maybe two odd balls in the same garage would go well together and roll on back to 1999 :-)

[@kmc7355]

Now this is a comment crossover i did not expect. Your videos are top notch.

[@LambChopRides]

Welcome Mr Droid 👋 I haven't ridden then 1200 RS yet of course but out of the other bikes you listed the Busa would be my preference.. I actually think it's faster than the H2SX but not as quick as the ZH2. I thought the comfort was only slightly better than my H2 until I rode it Sunday and realised its like a comfy sofa in comparison and in a good way! It's a more rounded package than the ZH2 where suspension is the weak point. Go ride them all 😎👍

[@zachkuby87]

Get the busa. I still have my tl1000r had a gen 1 busa i have a gen 2 currently with a gen 3 ordered. Gonna sell the gen 2 and put the proceeds towards the Gen 3.

[@CuriousDroid]

@@zachkuby87 Yea, i do have soft spot for the busa, might wait till august when the new reg comes out and see if there are any pre-registered ones being discounted by the dealers.

[@CuriousDroid]

@@kmc7355 Thank you very much, glad you like them :-)

[@Kurlach]

The ‘waggle’ on the grip is there by design; it’s manufacturers specification so the throttle isn’t instant the moment you twist.

[@brucekendall52]

A much prettier bike than the early models.Nice bike.Thanks.

[@87Sakiel]

What they made is perfect. They perfected what they had instead of throwing everything new without knowing how durable it can be.

[@danghita4386]

I'm 50 and I only rode adventure bikes, for 30+ years. Touring on a sport bike is too much for my untrained wrists. But this bike has a point for just commuting, I think I can do 1h on it. Except I'm considering S1000RR as well. Which one would be better to split lanes, move fast (torque), be comfy, repel rain, last longer and be an overall winner, would be a nice movie to produce 🙂

[@montha123]

Great looking bike that , has a presence that even makes non bike people stop & stare in awe of it

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great work Chopsie - can't wait to have a go on one of these puppies myself....love the colour scheme on this and the analogue clocks (how sad am I that those are the things I like most about the new 'Busa!!!)....lovely video mate.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Andy! Yeah clocks are certainly a highlight, actually think your going to like it 😁

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

@@LambChopRides Yes I have a feeling I will - always fancied a go on one but the looks of the old bike put me off - I agree with you, this is somehow sharper but not sure exactly how they've done it!

[@Daniel-gb9ex]

I love the clocks too, although I prefer the silver and red colour scheme myself.

[@gkbike7002]

Definitely waiting for a TMF review.

[@MVW54]

I am a child of 67 years old! Years ago I beat every GS 1000 with my Honda CBX 1000! 😎 Now 43 years later I would like to walk over to the Hayabusa 21 and feel it flutter on my cadence... It has been ordered before July 😢 it will be a white, so white as my face when HE flies with me... You can count on that! Great video! Thanks👍

[@iamtherealzombie]

Allen Millyard could turn that into a 6 cylinder for 20 pence and a cupcake ;)

[@karlosh9286]

Millyards V10 viper bike versus Busa at Bruntingthorpe. Now that's a video I'd love to watch !

[@harrywarne8185]

im 25 and just bought myself a gen2 I reckon its great for touring. did a 1000km ride in a day with ease. im yet to do a track day on it. I love the thing. This is the best review I have seen on the new busa out of all the other channels. nice one chopsy

[@dnewman3402]

Harry Warne----> I'm 5 feet 11 and I wonder if my body would be cramped if I bought a Gen3 for long-distance touring. How tall are you?

[@cpuuk]

"There's plenty to grip onto"- that's what she said. No interest in the runway ('cuz I haven't got a runway) bits, but your road talk was awesome, full of useful observation.

[@Jun-ws4um]

Beast? No. The King!!

[@niklashall5969]

I would choose that over any bike....even a h2r......except maybe for a 1990's legendary fireblade.

[@mash9084]

The production quality of your vids is amazing! It’s like you’re filming and recording sounds with imax cameras!

[@gkbike7002]

The speed king has created a category of its own. There's no records to break anymore, so why not make a hyper continent smashing cruiser. My local Suzuki dealer are selling these in spades. This bike maybe setting another standard we haven't thought of yet, let's face it, it won't be the first time Suzuki have invented the rules.

[@timsalabimbombassa]

I disagree, Kawasaki’s ZZR1100 was the first hyperbike. Very roomy and utterly mad.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Yup, he skipped the ZX11 and even the CBRXX, both of which were years before the Busa, and both of which held the fastest bike crown with only 1100cc..... Suzuki had to go ahead and cheat, throwing more capacity at it instead of playing within the clearly set rules 😅🙄

[@niallodriscoll3399]

​@johnnygeorgopoulos4072, Then for kawasaki to completely and utterly spit their dummy out and introduce the H2, with a supercharger slapped to it! Completely unnecessary!! So calling Suzuki 'cheaters' because they added a couple of hundred cc more to the engine is a bit of a reach don't you think?! Plus, Chop's owns one, and has ridden the other, and he has said on one if his videos that the Hayabusa is the better all-rounder, as over the years, Suzuki have basically perfected their flagship machine by not focusing totally on performance.

[@tomxaak]

Beautiful bike, stunning. Great, insightful review. I love love love the analog instrument cluster AND all the newest electronics at the same time. This bike actually makes sense. A class of its own, as you said.

[@timoschneider7030]

My dad had an original busa back in 99 which I rode pillion. Scared and excited me in equal measures. Today the busa doesn't really make sense and to be fair technologically it's a little disappointing, but we should all be grateful that in this day and age bikes like this still exist!!

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Fantastic video and great first impressions. I must say I also was never a fan of the styling, but this version is stunning.

[@RickyRicardo03]

Agreed dude! It’s like it finally got over the awkward teen phase.

[@andrewgibbs5135]

I’ve never considered a Hyabusa but it does look like a great road bike and more sophisticated than I had thought. A big motor and a some weight (excluding lockdown factor !) is also a good combination. Runway ......jeeeez 😳 Great review, as always.......👍

[@Zubbbz]

Love watching you pull the throttle and leave the following camera shot

[@gixxerboy555]

Could be my next.. Had a brand new Suzuki B-King before..same engine but different tuned..I would tune it with a.. PComm5. ,..X-Tre (Healtech) ,..and another exhaust..like i did with my former..GSXR1000K8 and my Suzuki B-King.. I've also owned 3x Suzuki GSX1100R's..and a Kawasaki GPz900R (with an open Yoshimura shorty)..back in 1989..(used all my bikes allway's flat out..full power.. :) and almost all my bikes where tyred with Pirelli Supercorsa's (semi slicks) cheers bro..and thanx for your very informative and awesome videos.. ;)

[@christopherturner9330]

Lamb Chop what a privilege to ride this awesome Suzuki. Your ability to review a motorcycle has been recognised at the top table indeed.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Christopher 👍

[@marklock1238]

Thanks. Great review. I just ordered one!

[@philmccaul4699]

Great to see you testing the Busa on my local roads! I've managed to blag a test ride on one next week from your mates at Wheels (got in quick when I found out they have one for a couple of days as no-one has demo bikes available). The reason I'm interested is that I love sportsbikes and super nakeds but my Mrs also loves riding pillion and we're getting to that age where we need more comfort but can't justify a sports bike and a tourer and can't face just owning an adventure bike. So I'm hoping the this could be the solution..

[@ckim6400]

My 2013 is just a solid bike. Maybe it's not the fastest, but close. Handling and ride comfort is excellent. The motor is almost bomb proof. At $11.500 USD I couldn't be happier even today!

[@arthurhadley5699]

[@LickyDischarge]

Great upload Chops!! The quality of this footage is top notch in my opinion 👍🏻

For a design that came out in 98, it still looks great.

[@mark675]

[@peterblacksmith3817]

@@mark675 the look of the hayabusa is essentially the same throughout the years. i think its perfect

[@Sushant9763]

It's totally new design it's has resembles to older busa

[@roberthall1437]

G'day Mr Chops. Another great video. This bike is a beautiful bit of engineering and looking at the close ups the fit and finish is up there with the best. I'd categorize this machine for the more mature gent. You've got to know when to go and know when to whoa. Discretion is the better part of valour.

[@johnharris7353]

No its not the first hyperbike the '97 The1100xx Blackbird is. The 'buds came in'99 just specifically to beat it, which it did, just by making it 200cc larger engine. They're both great bikes, but lots more old Blackbirds still around. I've got a '97 myself.

[@steve850]

Arguably it was the ZZR1100.

[@spawndog71]

I agree. Wife got me the 2024 for Christmas. It’s definitely the answer.

[@RickyRicardo03]

Lovely review Lamby Chopsui!! I’ve never been more excited to see a Hyibusa review. Very brave doing them Launches mate.

[@stevecade857]

Best looking Busa yet. Loving the KTM accents. Shame about the pedal bins as silencers.

[@niklashall5969]

I love how they keep style all the time it's a great looking bike. My dream bike for sure....one day, I will have one.

[@crumblymal8479]

This is for me the best lookin Busa especially in black . Suzuki have as usual given a lot of bike for a more reasonable price than others . But she is a big old beast and for me the H2 bests it on looks . : )

[@jimberger7362]

The bike itself is gorgeous!!

[@tonebonetones]

Slickly edited. Nice to watch. Up there, now, with the better presented moto vlogs. I could quite fancy one of these Hayabusas, actually.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks buddy appreciated 👍

[@Enfiare]

I had the 1st gen copper silver, upgraded the forks with progressive springs and race valves, installed a full titanium tri oval Yosh system, reduced weight wherever I could, and bugger all no one could beat me on the road, twisties and all, even with the misses holding on for dear life behind me. Those were the days. And I lived to tell the tale. Before the Busa, I'd never ridden a bike that could go from 80 to 160 in three breaths. I will say, I do like the look of the new bird. On a more personal note, to those who say you can't tour it, I rode mine from California to Utah, in the winter no less, and though I almost lost fingers and toes to frostbite (thank God for hotels with hottubs), I was able to do the impossible on a bike that was and still is incredible. I want the new one. Can I ride it to Mars? I'd like to try.

[@dnewman3402]

How tall are you? I'm considering buying the 2024 Hayabusa and I'm 5' 11''

[@niklashall5969]

It's a Super Sports tourer with style and class.

[@jimberger7362]

Would love to see a standard version like the B-KING with a little more comfort in mind or a sport touring version raise the bars and lower the foot pegs!!!!! Does it have cruise control?

[@misterb1132]

Great idea, and yes on the cruise. It has everything.

[@multibusa]

Hi fella thanks for the great review. I’m in the meerkat for a new bike. Previously [over a decade ago] I’ve had 2 gen 1’s and a gen 2. I’m between 6’2" - 6’3" depending on time of day and like you I found issues with high pegs on my knees on my previous Busa’s. I was however able to purchase some aftermarket pegs which were about 25mm lower and a little further back [i think]. Unfortunately I never got to do many miles before selling the bike so I don’t remember if the made much difference . Every review I’ve seen so far seem to rave about this gen 3 Busa and it’s gotten me excited. However I’m now 10 years older so at 60 I’m wondering how I’ll be impacted in my knees by the Busa’s high pegs. It will be interesting to see if those lowered pegs are still available. So back to the question, in the real world if this Busa were your only bike, would the high pegs cause you enough discomfort to irritate you or even put you off buying the bike? I’d really appreciate your input. Btw I live in the IOM and the Suzuki dealer does bot have a demonstrator that I could try. Cheers

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

I think the new look is dope

[@TheShubbah]

if you could find the last year of production the "Kawasaki ZZR1400" that would be great! 2021 busa, vs last year of prod. ZZR1400 (2020) please find one to make the comparison video!!

[@frankmorris2603]

Excellent review. Suzuki must love you John. You're the first with positive feedback on the 21 Busa. 👍

[@SeanagnewA7X]

Love the bike. Only thing thats pickling my head is the top yoke is raised from the forks. Can just imagine washing the bike and having to remove a puddle of water from there. Unless there is a little drain hole.

[@joshnnik]

Great video Chopsie, back in 1999 I went for the Blackbird over the ‘Busa purely on looks and never regretted it. I did get to see 195 on the clock which was probably a lot lower in reality but more than most would’ve taken either bike to on UK roads. The one bike I wish that I’d kept.

[@ononewheellad]

I thought they were all restricted to 186mph, on the clock.

[@joshnnik]

@@ononewheellad I think you will find that was proposed (implemented?)for 2001 in the UK.

When the bike is so good, it doesn’t need to be refreshed every year with new designs, and this is the best example of that.

[@willrainwater]

I agree with you about the Hayabusa is in it's own class. I would consider the H2 in a similar class.

[@XRM473]

I noticed Suzuki didn’t change the engine much, I was hoping for finger follower roller rockers and the variable valve timing to appear!

[@ashleyreynolds6604]

I think the only engine parts carried over were the cases, everything else is new.

[@skts2610]

As an ex Busa owner of 14 years and now an H2SXSE owner, is the new Busa a better bike than the H2🤔 Two up touring fully loaded on the H2 is effortless, on the Busa I’m not so sure... I’m going to demo one as soon as possible, but it’s gotta be one hell of a bike for me to part with my £16.5k and replace the stonking H2🤔😉

[@szaesz8190]

it won't even come close... that sweet supercharged 1L engine will allways kick the ass of a naturally aspirated engine.

[@r.matthews594]

How would you compare it in comfort and road useability to the current BMW S1000rr? Thank you.

[@lukegodfrey9391]

Good review and nice vid mate, thanks for that. You mentioned it doesn’t sit in a bracket, and who does it appeal to? This is clearly going to be an option for anybody who doesn’t track their bike much, wants something that handles well, modern electrics, doesn’t cost silly money, proper quick and can be ridden for a while without cramping up. So in other words the majority of riders. I really like it, but then I’ve always liked busa’s. The one thing by I can’t take my eye off is that weird bronze/copper colour, why didn’t they just black it all out as a nod to the gen 1 Z model? Can’t wait for the speed triple review, tempted to upgrade from my 06 speedy! Thanks again.

[@bakedbeanzontoast9078]

Fantastic bike the Busa', the OG hyper sports nutter bike, great review Chops 👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@mariofernandez1969]

Good looking bike. It kept the nostalgic busa look.

[@ncgrave4586]

Just saw a video of this bike last night and now chopsy got a swing at it. This is awesome. I do like the black and orange color scheme. I have never had a chance to ride a busa but if it's similar to a h2 then I should be able to jump right into it then.

[@bobz1736]

Not sure it's a Hyperbike anymore with less HP than many current sports bikes. More like a Sports Cruiser?

[@mark675]

I'd of never classed it as a hyperbike, machines like the h2r should make that catagory

[@alfredogreco5095]

At the start of the vid you said it was the first of the hyper bikes. One of but not the first, I would give that mantle to the zzr1100.

[@markjones3551]

Hi Chopsy.....great review buddy.....you got it spot on fella....it’s aimed at guys like me👌🏻....old but gold😃

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Great video sir! It’s not my cup of tea but the nostalgic part of me is happy to see the Busa still alive :)

[@XRM473]

It’s a more powerful and heavier VFR800 in that’s its a road sports bike rather than a track bike with lights on. To me it’s less confused than the litre sports bikes that aren’t great road bikes for anything over 30 minutes!

[@XRM473]

Wish the Busa had a factory hard pannier option like the VFR800 does. Road sports touring is a blast of a holiday.

[@leondmcgrath]

I loved watching this review as a busa owner since 2007. I completely agree with most of it but I apologize to differ with regards to a busa on track. I was miles faster on my busa on track days than any sports bike I have owned or ridden. Please forgive me but playing devil's advocate. The main point that I disagreed with was that on track you would find the limits quickly. You are kind of correct but to ride busas really fast you go slightly beyond the limits on the way in and throttle out again slightly beyond the limits of grip, I have never had a bike that I felt so comfortable late braking and over steering on the way out. my point being you steer a busa with the torque and less handlebar input. It takes time to gain enough confidence and desensitizing to the speed to ride them fast in twisties. They come into their own around 90mph, below that they are a handful so the fastest way round a corner is a bit more old school than the more modern geometry where slightly out of control is really really very fff fast🤣 Sorry for the rant, night shift head
