Carlyle's Picks Maybe the Aston owner wasnt familiar with that area so he followed but had to be in the same lane He couldnt go in front couldnt go in front of the Hayabusa so he followed (not arguing just throwing in an idea)

[@SinPistones]

I rode a 2012 Hayabusa once. As Mr. Regular said, it's a very easy bike to just ride around since you get so much torque down low. Also, here in Chile motorcycle driving permits work just like that, get your first moto license, and ride whatever you want, no restrictions.

[@Ktmzqw]

I never had a Busa, bot rode one that the dealer had for sale when my own bike was there for a service. I was surprised how easy it is to drive! It's not cramped (i'm 6 foot 3/193cm), it's comfortable and it's smooth. It also doesn't handle like a nervous track 600cc. Of course, it has a lot of power and in earlier versions, the brakes weren't up to par with the speed/weight. Still a very accessible motorcycle, much more than any lightweight R.

[@insertnamehere1315]

Thank you Regular Car Reviews, your videos have done so much good, provided so much needed humor, education, and even more. Much love you guys.

[@faggymcfegit6509]

[@faggymcfegit6509]

That Guy that's insane! in france, you must have an exam (easy one you get at school)+ an exam you have to pay and be 14 to get (300-400$) just to have a 50cc and be limited to ~27mph. Then at 16 you can get a 125 (only 15hp 900-1100$). from 18 to 24 yrs old you have a license for slightly more powerful 125's and then, at 24 yrs old or after 2 years of the previous license you can get a normal bike. btw bikes in france are really limited (108hp)

[@WarDogTheAwesome]

France sounds like an anti moto fun country.... We have some restrictions here A2 - Age 16 restricted to 14.6 hp and 11 kilowatts (Parental agreement required) this is around the 125cc range. This also has a theory test requirement (Which is 30 questions about what you should do in certain situations or what the signs mean, quite simple really), 15 lessons from a proffesional teacher and then a control test in the "DMV" lot. A1 - Age 18 (17.5 for theory test) up to 47.46hp and 35 kilowatts this is around 500cc usually. Theory test required unless you have a car lisence or an A2 lisence, you need 15 lessons or 8 if you have an A2 lisence and two test, a control test and a street test (You and other guys on bikes go to the street and a tester on a bike of his own come with you and tell you where to go and see you do everything required, you can't use the mirrors you must look with your head.) A - Age 21 AND at least 1 year with an A1 lisence. No restrictions no more do what ever you want, you are required to do the two test control and street tests and you're good to go. You usually take some lessons anyways even though they are not required because after so long you give no shit about the rules anymore so you need a bit of a refresh.

[@JETZcorp]

You need to find someone with a Kawasaki H2 (no no no, I mean the old two-stroke triple) and made a video on that. I never had one, but the legend of the 750 triple is that those who owned one either went to jail, or to the hospital. My dad had one. Went to jail for it. The thing that makes the 750 triple so terrifying is that, aside from the wibbly-wobbly frame and '70s brakes, it's a two-stroke. Two-strokes just aren't happy unless they've got a bit of load on. So the bike encourages you to give it some throttle. Things are smooth, and i'ts not even going all that fast. The revs build and it's making a lovely sound that's a lot like a Triumph Daytona. Then suddenly, the power output doubles, your arms get real stretchy as you cling to the way-too-high handlebars, and then as the front wheel sweeps past the vertical and your neck is about to hit the pavement, you remember someone telling you that 60% of the weight is on the rear. They're awesome.

[@Pythnn]

This sounds terrifying and I have to see it

[@TheOzthewiz]

JETZcorp I owned a '69 H1(500cc), was supposed to do 0--60 in 4 sec. Had a power band from 4500 to about 7000, was tough to ride "two up" because it only put out about 9HP up to 2000RPM. Traded the H1 on a '75 Z1B, never looked back. The power band was SO wide that it was PURE PLEASURE to ride even "two up". The 2-strokes are great on the track, but in city traffic not so much!

[@leebatt7964]

I bought an h2 in 1985, i was 19. It had basani chambers, clip ons and a 1/4 fairing. The second week i owned it i got the front wheel about two feet off the ground in traffic and dropped the front wheel on the back bumper of a honda civic going about 45 mph. Miraculously kept it upright, went directly home, parked it and threw up. I later bought a gpz550. Never looked back.

[@timppatoy]

Buddy of mine owned one, he and the previous owners (3) all went to hospital. I rode it couple of times, then went on few decades, and started to feel like motorcycling. Had first Yamaha FZ750, then Thunderace, Blackbird and now Busa.

Lol. + you're wrong, my target is 60-65 range to die. Because after 70, you dont feel shit, sick as fuck + cant see shit. Annnd I am 24yrs old, i started riding on 15yrs, not because i am cool, its because i love to ride, still ride, no cars. So if you started driving & all of a sudden at age 35 if it makes you feel you want to change your life, thats "mid life crisis" even though it said "midlife" the crisis of changing your life could happen at anytime. Being old isnt something to get offended man, its a privilege of life. Goddamn overgrown baby! Get a hold of yourself man.

[@luuk3213]

7:52 For anyone interested: This is how it works in Germany. At 15: Either "Mofa-Prüfbescheinigung" ,which limits you to 50 cc's and 25 km/h in West Germany and is not even an actual license and only exists in Germany , and the EU-Standard Moped license class M in the former east German federal states and the federal state of Nordrhein-Westfalen( in the other states, it can be obtained at 16 years old). This gets you 50 cc and 45 km/h, unless you are driving a certain Brand named Simson. Simson was the GDR's State-owned moped manufacturer, and in East Germany, mopeds were allowed to go 60 km/h, if they went 70, nobody cared either. So, after reunification, The government wondered what to do with these, technically illegal, old East German Simson Mopeds. They decided that all Mopeds manufactured in the GDR had a special law that allowed them to stay road legal and registered as mopeds. These Simson Mopeds are highly sought after and always modified, even if most of them are from the 70's and 80's, comparable to the Nissan 240SX. They're still very common. When you're 16, you can get a A1 license, which allows you to ride motorcycles up to 125 cc and 11kw, and a maximum power to weight ratio of 10kg/kw (This is the license I have btw) at 18 years or 2 years after your A1 driving test, you can get an A2(only a driving test with a bigger bike, no more lessons involved if you have an A1 already), ,which limits you to 35kw and a power to weight ratio of 5kg/kw. 2 years after your A2 test or if you're over 25 years old, you can get A (only driving test if you have A2 already). This is the unrestricted license, you can ride whatever bike you want.

[@opmike343]

Lots of things can affect performance numbers: temperature, altitude, wind, inclination, skill of the tester, road/surface conditions, unique traits of an individual engine, method of measurement, etc. It one thing that makes hearing people argue tenths on 0-60 times or a couple MPH on top speed numbers such a headache.

Billy Benedict Yeah, but I tend to avoid that term since nobody can seem to agree on exactly what it means. Some folks say it's ALL sportbike riders, some say it's just the ones who ride stupid without the proper protective gear. Others say it's guys who trick out their bikes for the track but never actually go to the track. I'm not really sure which definition I think fits. What's your favorite?

[@billyz97]

Squids in my opinion are the idiots who are romping 100+ mph everywhere, they wear no protection, must wheelie every time they see somebody, the people that stretch there rear ends of the bike and don't even drag race, they essentially just make it harder to turn a corner.

[@paulthegeek]

In Germany there are two motorcycle licenses: The A1 is for small bikes up to 125ccm The A is for everything bigger but you’re restricted for the fist two years bikes which only make 38hp

[@TheRealUnconnected]

Simmilar here in Australia but longer. You can get a license just for automatic scooters up to 125cc and motorcycle license you need to start on learner license for 1 year, then 3 years on provisional then finally you get your open license. On learner and provisional you are limited to about 45HP with a 660CC cap. It is done on power to weight ratio, but in practical terms about 45-50hp is all you get.

[@jokumukamikalie]

In Finland there is A1 with 125cc and max 11kW. Minimum age is 16. A2 is what you get at 18. Max 35kW, and can't be restricted from a bike that's over twice that as stock. (Used to be 25kW, and could be any bike restricted to that) A is what you can get at 24, or 2 years after obtaining A2, so earliest is 20. Unlimited license, no restrictions.

[@mike6754]

A few years late, but here in The Netherlands (EU) you have A1,A2,A motorcycle licences. 18years old = A1, max 125cc 11kw/14,7hp. 20years old = A2, Max 35kw/46,9hp. 24years old = A, full licence no restrictions. To get a licence you need to pass 3 tests, and this has to be in order so you can't start test 2 if you havn't passed test 1 yet. Test 1 = theory exam Test 2 = AVB Simulair to USA parkinglot tests like swerve, emergency brake etc. pretty easy to pass. Test 3 = AVD Examinator will follow you on the public road and decide if you deserve to be on the road with current skill level and knowledge. Pretty high standard for passing this test, they judge you on positioning on the road aswell as following the rule's, how confident you are driving and the decisions you make during the ride. take's about 30min's to 45min's. Doesnt seem to long but driving nearly perfect for 30/45 min's straight as a beginner is pretty difficult, even long term driver's make sub optimal decisions. You only have to pass test 1 once, going from A1 to A2 you only have to do test 3, from A1 or A2 to A you need atleast 2 years of experiance to skip test 2. You dont need to have A1 to get A2 if you are 20years old, same goes for A if you are 24 or older but you will have to pass all 3 test with the motorcycle that fits the licence. So for A it's useally a honda CB650F. It take's a average person about 20 hours worth of lesson's (14hours to master test 2, and 6 hours to aply that to the road and master test 3) With this system from the 1.4million motorcycle drivers here only 51 died last year. comparing that to US it's 60 death's each 100.000 driver's in 2016. So this means 840 deaths for US, 51 for EU. for the love of god start implimenting our system....

[@Johnny-tq9no]

Nah here we allow people to make thier own decisions and take thier own risks. We don't want someone limiting us all because the stupidest people in society can't handle some tasks. Your country probably has madatory helmet laws as well which has alot more to do with the high death rate than having limits on power. Over half of all motorcycle deaths in the US could have been prevented by a helmet. But they took the risk and it's their own decisions. I started out 17yrs old on a 800cc 510 pound 125hp sport bike with 70 ftlbs of torque, I dropped it once at a light but frame sliders barely got marked and I now have 20,000 miles on it no accidents. The only bike I ever rode before riding it 200miles back home on the highway was a 7hp 125cc Chinese pit bike in a field

[@mike6754]

@@Johnny-tq9no I kinda agree that people should be able to take thier own risks, but after spending 1 day on a parking lot doing circle's you are not only a danger to yourself. Don't wanna wear a helmet fine, it will only kill you wen something happens so i don't really care. And it's not the power of the machine it's the training you need to handle it relatively safely on the road that matters, you need to be able to judge trafic/have good lane position/think 2 steps ahead of time and have a ''o shit, strategy''. Over here you used to (wen i was 16) get a scooter licence by simply doing a theory exam. No training at all. Result was that you are more likely to die on a 50cc barely 1bhp top speed of 30mph scooter then on a yamaha R1 over here. So skip the A1 A2 A system which limit's only the idiots but for the love of god aply the propper training part. The amount of video's were begginers make idiotic mistake's like going into a corner to fast for there own confort and then decide not to increase the steering angle but panic brake and fly off a cliff or something is insane. But also there ability to judge traffic is really poor, 9 out of 10 time's were they crash into a car that should have waited but ''didnt see them''. i can already see it coming from mile's away. but do they slow down, change position on the road to create a exit strategy? no offcourse not because ''they have the right off way''. it's just straight up retarded. In my mind it's like ''good for you! and you were right, but now you're banged up with broken bone's in a hostpital or worse death...''

[@Johnny-tq9no]

@@mike6754 msf course should be required but restricted license seems like too much

[@mike6754]

@@Johnny-tq9no No you need some new course ontop of MSF being required, were you participate in trafic with either a instructor (while learning) or examinator. The instructor will teach you all you need to know about how to ride on the road. See it like you teaching your littte brother how to ride a motorcycle, you will teach him everything you know because you dont want him ending up dead. But this knowledge that keeps you safe cost you x amount of experiance between the idiots on the road, during this learning period things can go really bad really quickly. In a few hours with a motorcycle rider with years of experiance coaching you while experiancing situations yourself, will make you skip allot of trial and error time and instandly put you on the skill level of a guy having his licence for like a year. Allot less unskillful idiots on the road is a good thing for everyone.

[@Johnny-tq9no]

@@mike6754 yes I agree that msf course should be more involved, longer, and you should have to learn how to ride on the actual road. Or Maybe have restricted licenses based on which level msf class you take there could be one for beginner level under 50 hp motorcycles and one full power bikes where you simply have to take a more advanced class to qualify. They make that msf course easy to pass because they want to encourage more people to ride and get into the hobby without significant barriers to entry as many people will only ever ride small cruisers or scooters.

[@domenik8339]

Well in Germany The Thing with the Bike lizence works Like this: With 16 you can get a licence For a Bike with 125ccm and max 15hp. With 18 you can get your licence For a Bike with max 96hp but have to regulate it down to 48hp For the First 2 years, after those two years you can get your licence For whatever Bike you Like. If you dont want to Deal with all that, you have to wait Till you are 24 to get the license wich allows Every Bike power

[@marcst3199]

Yeah , I think the EU has harmonisid it across there members. We didn't have the 125cc licensed vfor under 18 before that. And I think the power limitation I'm Germany was rised through the EU. i have an 80's Bike and it has 40hp but for Germany there is a beginners version of this bike with 27hp. All the same but a different camshaft, which isn't that hard to replace on an old OHC bike

To those that say hayabusas are only for speed and want to be seen on, I just want to know how many of you have done the iron butt ride on any type of bike at all. 1000 miles in 24 hours and 1500 miles in 36 hours have both been done on my Suzuki. Yes there are squids that ride these bikes, but there are squids on all sorts of bikes. It is my favorite motorcycle so far. I have owned a 1986 Kawasaki 454 Limited, a Suzuki GPZ 550, a Honda Hurricane 1000 (now called cbr) and a BMW 1150RT. So no, I am not new to bikes, and no, I am not a kid. This is a great bike, hate all you want, but if you want to make excuses as to why you hate this bike, go ahead.

[@vtr0104]

This letter you mentioned sounds like something the Japanese would do. The Japanese Government (and by that I mean, the Prime Minister) is still seen as an official representation of the Emperor. If they would decide to take action of the type you mentioned, they wouldn't need to do any kind of follow-up. In spite of the Japanese industry doing well, the citizens working in said industry still have an intrinsic respect for whatever the Emperor decides. Of course it would be denied by any company's higher management echelon, but action would indeed be taken without the need of any special laws to enforce it. Most likely the government figured out where things were heading, with bikes being comparatively cheaper to buy and run while being as fast as very expensive cars. The US government took similar action in the late '60s when the car manufacturers were trying to one-up each other from year to year with bigger engines and more horsepower without thinking to much of brakes and handling safety. The difference came in the way they had the manufacturers comply, with strict insurance, emissions regulations and taxes that made owning those kind of vehicles very difficult for the class of citizens most likely to get killed using them.

I also had an R6...screw little boy bikes! mines geared for street prolly 175-180 top speed...i live down the dumb top speed thing all the time. if you flash the ECU remove timing restrictions 1-4gear and top limiter they will do that 200mph thing if you want ($200).

In the uk bikes are restricted by power output in kWh. It translates roughly to cc as follows: 16 year olds can ride a 50cc 17 year olds can ride a 125cc on a cbt but not on motorways, or on an A1 where they can go on motorways 19 year olds can ride approximately 450-500cc (600/650cc needs to be restricted) on an A2 After two years holding an a2 and no less 21 year olds can get any bike they want unrestricted If you don’t have an a2 for two years, you have to wait till you’re 24
