Suzuki Hayabusa 2021 Review

[@allenglishknives6823]

All these years later and it’s still a great bike. My Gen 1 is bloody epic, grin inducing, whooping, fun and it’s 20 years old 💪🏻👍🏻

I,am German. The new Hayabusa is beautiful and wonderful. I have a Black new Hayabusa....I am verry happy! Good Luck vor all Hayabusa Driver!

[@jamesharrop3125]

I bought my Hayabusa new in 2008, and I still make the same sound as Bruce at the 2:00 minute mark when I roll on the throttle. Amazing machines.

[@BibtheBoulder]

I've put 500+ miles on my new Hayabusa and it is everything the old Busa wasn't, but needed to be. Only gripe is the high-ish pegs but you get used to them. Power delivery is syrupy smooth, QS and blipper are seamless when you learn to get them right, and the longer wheelbase (than most bikes) mean this is a motorway mile muncher par-excellence....

[@BibtheBoulder]

UPDATE: "Warp factor ten Scottie" "Aye aye Captain".... %!*$ unbelievable bike...

[@barryjmarling]

What a great bike,so nice to see a modern bike with proper gauges,looked like you had a blast on it judging by all the giggles,great video Bruce.

My 2003 BUSA had 156 hp and was awesome but so uncomfortable! I’m 67 and wish I could still get the thrill out of this bike again ! It looks absolutely awesome the best looking one yet!!!!!!

The giggles say it all, hopefully more Suzuki reviews in the future 👍👍

[@jeffestrada6857]

Yep my Gen II is the best bike I ever owned ( I have owned three) Hayabusa’s get better and better with each generation the Gen I was great, but totally outdated and old looking, the Gen II was more modern, powerful and better handler , now I think this will improve yet again - cant wait have a ride of this to compare to my Gen II. People complained when the Gen II arrived in 2008 just like now with the Gen III but the Gen II proved to be a massive improvement in every department over the old bike. Now Suzuki is very clever and despite being similar in power to the Gen II looks and electronic additions should make this so so good 😊 Don’t think I will sell my Gen II though I love it too much Go Suzuki 👍👍👍👍 Go Suzuki

[@Mike_P646]

That looks nice in silver, great review Bruce 👍

@@allenglishknives6823 I had as new the 1998 Gen 1 the 2014 Gen 2 , the Gen 3 is in my opinion by far the best Busa , only Gen 1 and 2 owners will understand , if you can take the Gen 3 for a test ride you will understand (-:

[@allenglishknives6823]

@@TheDoorman27 Thanks for the info. I was a bit underwhelmed at first like a lot of people. But the more I see of it I think the sum of all the small improvements has made a much improved bike. Roll on the Gen 4!!! 😁💪🏻

[@teapotone]

Ha Ha thanks James, aye it always gets me when I ride off the euro tunnel onto the M20 after riding like a maniac for a week in Europe. Sat at 70/80 on the motorway just feels like you could step off the bike doesn’t it!

[@Goldblasterblaze]

Man you're right. In video games (especially The Crew 2), I'm usually doing speeds of 150-190mph. When I finally want to obey the laws of traffic and do 30-65mph, I feel so slow😂

[@ashleyreynolds6604]

I had that very bike out for an hour or so from Crescent in Bournemouth. Absolutely loved it, agree with you on all points, stunning piece of work and usable. 👍

[@richardrobinson1879]

Awesome as ever Bruce. Good to see you back on reviews again!

[@halhaskins5949]

I knew you would giggle when you rode that Busa. You can't not smile when you ride one of these beast. I'm about to add a 2022 BMW R1250GS to my garage with my 2013 yellow Hayabusa. I feel blessed.

[@dalehawkes1698]

I like the look of it Bruce I wasn’t a fan of the looks of the gen 1-2 but this wow and this is the first silver one I’ve seen I think it looks the business 👍👍👍

[@tygreenwood472]

This was a great review on the Busa with a British twist Suzuki made a great bike even better have always wanted one but made the transition to cruisers many years ago and never looked back still wouldn't mind having a Busa though!

[@ragerider6283]

Nice review. I've come to really like this 'busa now. I was a little disappointed at first that it didn't get a cc & power bump but realistically it didn't need it. Kawasaki boosted cc & power with the ZX14 but have now discontinued it so seems that wasn't the answer for the Hayabusa after all. Plus Suzuki were never going to invest in building a 2 litre 6 cylinder turbo or whatever daft version some people were asking for. Seems everyone who hasn't ridden it slates it but those that have appear to think it's pretty good. Who knew the best way to find out what a bike is really like is to actually ride it lol!

[@BibtheBoulder]

There is something about the acceleration of the Busa (and in fairness the ZZR1400) that is quite intoxicating. I have previously owned 5 gen1 Busa's and feel a new one coming on. Great review, and your chuckling at the start (@2 mins) is what this machine is all about...

[@harryhowell5644]

I have ridden the ZX14r my son had one we used to ride together. I assume it's alot like the busa although it was pretty basic with ride modes and traction control.not to mention no quick shifter. It was a blast to ride and a rocket. Very planted even at speeds.

[@AdyRider]

Cracking looking bike. Good to hear the figures !

[@colinbarber1957]

Great video Bruce, loved the proper gauges and the look of the bike, with one exception"............the SIZE of those endcans, they ruin the bike. The Aprilia Tuono Factory had the same type dustbins on, the dealers did offers with the carbon akra from new, and it’s a different bike to look at, not forgetting the weight saving. How many kilos do those 2 end cans weigh ? Nice to see you reviewing bikes again.

Standard cans on most bikes are ugly as fcuk.

[@davidmiall3814]

Sounding like the holy mother of the in-line four sports world! With Suzuki offering them at 2.9% PCP or HP this year its no wonder there have been more Hayabusa's out and about this summer. Definitely a bike for us short arses with the seat height and peg positioning. Another great vid.

On the motorway, the Busa cannot use all the power it has. My FJR uses only 50% throttle. So it boils down to: Ergonomics, paniers, shaft drive, electric windscreen, heated grips, cruise control, center stand amenities and passenger pillion.

Hello bud, No I can’t I’m afraid as I’ve only ever had the Busa for day-long tests. ‘Lamb Chop Rides’ has had one long term and done some trips on them, check out his channel for his verdict 👍

[@MuscleBandit]

@@teapotone Cheers mate I do follow him on here too so I'll have a peek :)

[@G100666]

As a gen 1 rider, until recently, it's a delight to ride long distance. It took a month before my back, stomach and leg muscles were used to it but, after that, it was a delight to ride 500 Kms in a day. Probably my favourite bike ever: in town: carving the twisties; motorways. I was delighted that Bruce seems to have instantly gelled with this bike so quickly. Well done mate 👌

Great review as always, thank you! I recall you seemed to have also genuinely loved the current BMW S1000RR when you reviewed that. If you had to pick between that BMW and this Busa, purely based upon the riding fun & competence of the bike in the road, which would you choose & why?

[@teapotone]

Thanks bud, It’d be the S1000RR for me personally - I prefer the looks, it’s more agile and dynamic in the handling (wasted on me though), and is just a more complete package. The Busa definitely isn’t bad, it’s anything but! However if I had to have a sportsbike I’d go for the RR

Really interesting comment about the older Busa feeling ‘sluggish’ at slower speeds. I tested a gen 2, and that lower speed pick up wasn’t all that exciting. Ok, up and at em’ It went like a goodun. So nice to hear it’s a got a bit more - as got to feel exciting are slower speeds as well.

best review of the new busa Teapotone. Thank you buddy from South Africa. My heart wants to buy this, but my head is saying I should buy something like the new R1250rt. What a beautiful bike, and nice colour, after seeing only the gold and black ones....safe riding 😀

[@teapotone]

Cheers man, I’d say the RT and a the sensible choice - it’s probably more practical and comfortable overall, has the adaptive cruise control and all the creature comforts. But that Busa is QUICK! If you’re not ready to let go of your sportsbike itch, then definitely worth taking one for a spin 👍
