[@thedogsbutler7046]

I was a service technician at a Houston area Suzuki dealership when the Busa was first introduced, and I was at the '01 factory update seminar when they announced the gentlemen's agreement. The Suzuki factory rep said that fear of government regulation was not the sole reason for limiting speed, the AMA and FIM told the manufacturers they were getting out of control and that 300 Km/Hr was the fastest that a motorcycle could go in a road-racing competition setting. They were also aware that it took most of us about 5 minutes to figure out how to override the speed limiter. One of the first changes they had to make to Busa engine was the cam chain tensioner. The first ones were ratcheting automatics and some failed, ended up bending the valves and occasionally breaking the crankshaft. The second ones were manual and some had the same results. The final recall repair kit came in 2001. In that kit was a new cam chain guide and new tensioner that was designed to use oil pressure provided by a hose that we had connect to the front oil galley via a banjo bolt, and two zip ties to prevent the cam chain from jumping when the kit was installed. One side note is that most of the broken crankshaft repairs I made out of warranty ended up stroker kits. I look back on those days and I'm amazed I'm over 50 years old now.

Radical also uses the stock 1340 Hayabusa in SR3's and SR1's. They also make a bespoke 1500 stroker Busa motor that pushes out 220 at the crank. The SR8 used a macro block V8 with stock cylinder barrels and heads from the Hayabusa spanning from 2.6-3.2 litre V8 that revs up to 10,500 RPM!

@Bed of Fire or Decompose unfortunately due to the high stress on the motor/transmission (both in the same casing when you're talking just the haybusa) reliability is a bigger problem. 1500cc motors only get around 60 hours of life. This is mainly a timeline based on transmission life

[@coache1nine]

I remember being at the LA Motorcycle Show when the ZX11 was introduced. I was speaking with a Rep from Kawasaki. He told me the original cams designed for the bike were replaced and timing was retarded to get the bike UNDER 200mph. Would love to find a ZX11 and those original cam grind specs.😁😁😁

Even better was when the zx12r came out. And boosted 12's are absolute animals.

[@JNAMOTORSPORTS]

They make even bigger cams for those bikes.

[@dirkvandermerwe6027]

The ZX11 / ZZ-R 1100 was an extremely fast bike in its prime... Some of the C models I've heard had a few issues mainly in regards to the gearbox. Apparently the original gearbox couldn't handle the torque at the time and if the bike was rammed from pull it sometimes jumped out of 2nd gear. Bearing in mind that the ZX11 is basically it's predecessor's engine which was the ZX10 TOMCAT just with a displacement increase along with minor engine upgrades. From the ' D ' model that was launched in early 93' those issues were eliminated but the bike now was quite a bit heavier with a more sleeker appearance and with a twin ram air system induction system which ( apparently ) made up for the added weight and a softer rear suspension and increase width on the rear wheel from a 17 inch up to an 18 inch which caused the bike to be more of a hyper sports tourer than its previous model but even faster at the redline... I have much respect for the ZZ-R 1100.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Funny that they'd retard it,if you meant just the cam timing ,that'll add up top and take from down low. Nothing's impossible,if all they did was retard can timing I'd bet some machine work can get that back for you.

[@coache1nine]

@@MrTheHillfolk it's the opposite. Retarded timing increases bottom end, taking away from the top. That, along with the change in camshafts, decreased top end. Their desired goal.

My Blackbird was stolen twice. When it was recovered the second time, it fit on a shipping pallet. Something major must have happened for it to get that mangled. I low-key hope it wrote the final chapter in the person who stole it their life. I use to take it to the track. The other riders said I looked like Hailey’s Comet as I threw sparks. The Blackbird wasn’t designed for the track as everything was placed low. Insurance gave me enough to buy an older F3 (600cc). It was a great track bike. It would overheat if I let it idle for too long. I usually parked it the back alley, but my landlord decided to re-pave the parking spots. The first night it was parked on the street, a drunk woman in a minivan hit everything on my side of the street. Cars were pushed into cars & a car was pushed into my bike. She didn’t have insurance and there were at least a dozen cars with significant damage. I was SOL.

In my younger days I rode a turbocharged and intercooled BMW K75s that developed 170hp. It topped out at 173mph and change and since the speedo didn't go that high, I had to measure the circ of the rear tire and do the math to get my very top speed from the RPM and final drive ratio. I worked at Luftmeister in Paramount CA and lived in Simi Valley and my run to work was at triple digits every. single. day. Work started at 10am so I had the road to myself, mostly. Fun times. I'd like to get my paws on one of these Hayabusas and wring it out across Montana.

[@1crazypj]

That is probably the best way to work out theoretical top speed, you will probably have a little clutch 'creep' and tyre drag but it should be close.

Great Video Thank you. I grew up thru all the bike era as a youngster. First bike was a 50cc Garelli then Zundaps ,Kreidlers, Yamaha, Suzuki 750 water-pumper. Kawasaki Tripple Mach 3 ,etc. The greatest era of 2 strokes.Then came the Honda K0 then my first Big bike was a Kawasaki z1000 .Drag Raced Suzuki Katana's as well as Kawasaki Z1000 street turbo class. Very little mods except welded cranks and Alternator welding on the Suzukis amongst perhaps valves ,springs and pistons cams etc but not radical machining or mods. Built many bolt on street turbo kits for clients ,most engines were bullet proof from the factory. Always been a Kawasaki Lover and still am. They were always the fastest around generally. Having said that . I have not seen catastrophic failures on any Superbike engines unless pushed way beyond limits on mods. We did few mods and turbos and they ran awsome. Bike engines are there to be used and abused. They were in the old days anyhow.. Not sure now what's around. Some are better and even more reliable than other makes I guess. When the Busa came out it was no doubt a gamechanger and set a standard. I Have built a 2nd Generation Busa turbo and it's fitted into a fiat 500. I am to old and scared to ride bikes now. Done it all and wonder that I and many friends are still alive after what chances we took.Unfortunately many guys I know were not lucky. Some were hosed off the tarmac by the cleanup crew.There was only one throttle position and that was wide open. No regrets. After building such a legendary bike as the Busa and many other great bikes it is a pity that Suzuki pulled out of Moto GP.

The 1st gen was the fastest stock bike .. They're rare in gold and silver nowdays . A lad i know had a turbo charged one and dominated drag races on that thing .. Awesome bike !!!

[@TheNatural-hbs]

My girlfriends son bought one of these, asked me if I wanted to sit on the back for a ride. I told him that he would just go psycho, which he done. He was good-natured, but he was just doing what all bikers do.

[@maalikserebryakov]

So he died?

[@maalikserebryakov]

Girlfriend’s son? I can’t imagine a more awkwaed relationship. The degenerate west is going to fall apart

[@6Mar99]

Moore mafia collaboration developed a 300+hp turbo busa on a safe tune. They have not yet released the dyno on what the bike made on a crazy tune

[@KL0WNK1NG]

Wish we had superlike on youtube cause damn this man's content deserves it!!

[@daveyt4802]

Always liked the TLS and TLR bikes too. Owned all the SV's and have a V-strom now.

[@TreadTalk247]

Love my 2000 TL1000R!! I will never part w that bike, it has every avail carbon part on it, even painted over the CF weave w the yellow factory paint scheme over it and where it would have been black we let the carbon weave show through! So at a glance it looks “somewhat” stock but if you know the bike you’d see it’s far from it! Looks great w the beautiful BST Carbon wheels as well! Building a blown Gen 2 Hayabuss now but love my TL!! Great to see your TLS/R comment, my TLR gets more attention at bike events than any other bike I own!

[@imperfectly-balanced8861]

Awesome video! Its really cool seeing forced induction mods/builds in the motorcycle scene taking off so much over the last decade. I work at a bike (performance oriented) shop & factory race team, which is a dream job in its entirety, however my absolute favourite jobs are the big hp turbo builds we've done on many bikes, but by far the gsxr1300 and the zx14r are the most insane platforms to build on. Have built two zx14's now that surpass 450hp on kill/high boost, and a cosy safe reliable 300hp on low!

[@1crazypj]

There has never been a GSX1300R, it's just a GSX, Sport Tourer

[@geonerd]

I don't deny that good head design is critical to flow and power. But boost is NOT a measure of restriction. It is a measure of charge compression.

[@soumyomondal4368]

the time effort and quality u put into this video is amazing....couldnt skip even a second...great job bro...would love to get a busa someday...actually quite inexpensive in India

[@mariuskuhrau761]

Yep, these Suzuki Hayabusa,s immediately takes me back to this guy (Hayabusa Custom) that took brand new Hayabusa,s and then do a complete custom job on them. What a work of Art and I still remember his beautiful show stopper bike, called the Ghost if I remember correctly. 👍👍

[@imarto10]

Great video! Would be nice if you included speed in km/h also.

[@tangotango256]

Multiply by 1.6 ...you're welcome So 100kmh is 62 mph 200km 124 300km 186 same as top speed limited thats why all the super bikes have 300 kph speedos

[@shLowKey]

The Hayabusa has always been my #1 favourite sports bike. Hopefully I will be able to Purchase and Ride it someday

[@axelregan]

Putting one of those engine to a Japanese kei car would be absolutely monster

[@mynameisntleo]

Pretty sure a dude from the UK already stuck one in a Smart car, a black one, a long while ago. RWD burnouts all day. And it fits in a lawnmower shed.

I'm 78 I have had 21 different bikes of all types My favorite was a RD350 THE most fun to ride of all

[@russellzauner]

Since it's been refined to have great aero performance, this might be a great platform to do EV restomods to. They'll need improved tires.

[@SniperSnake50BMG]

In totally all in for it. Unfortunately not much people have done it or put the proper batt/controller to have the desired performance

[@sleepii15]

My lady saw me watching this…. Flat out told me… NOOOO!

[@bmstylee]

I remember when I was about 20 looking for a CBR 600; or GSX-R 600 and remember seeing a bunch of Busas for sale with almost no miles on them. I wonder if a bunch of people bought to much bike and were scared of them.

[@ΑλεξανδροςΑμανατιδης-ι7ε]

Thats exactly what happened... Hayabusa gen 1 is scary not only because of hp but the delivery is just insane . Today bikes literally do everything for you, back then it was all on you.

[@bmstylee]

@@ΑλεξανδροςΑμανατιδης-ι7ε I still want a bike and I can afford what I want. However watching how people drive in the USA keeps me away from one. It doesn't matter if you're in the right because if you get hit by a car on a bike you are going to have a bad time. It's just not worth it to me anymore. Maybe get back into mountain biking again.

[@ΑλεξανδροςΑμανατιδης-ι7ε]

@@bmstylee Definitely riding a bike is very dangerous . I would probably never have owned a bike if i was in a city but i live in a village i use it to move to near cities so i mostly drive highways and A B roads . Also i am in Greece people here drive terribly here as well i almost got hit by a car 3 times is one year .

[@NBSV1]

Depends some on how you ride. The busa is longer and heavier than the smaller sport bikes. Makes them stable and pretty comfortable. They actually make pretty good touring bikes. And, the large powerband can make them really nice to ride since you have power in any gear at almost any rpm. Often they didn’t get many miles since they it seems most were bought for show. They’d get pulled out every so often to show off then put away again.

[@AndrasMihalyi]

I know some people who traded their 1st gen Busas for Gixxer 1000s. They were not scared, they just didn't like the handling and the brakes.

[@topsouter]

In the 80's had a GPZ 1000RX then come along girls and life. Missed biking so much,. Next bike 14 years later was the Mighty Busa.. OMG! It made the GPZ feel like a lawn mower.. the sheer power AND handling was light years from the 80's bikes. Tweaked it and saw 211mph from it and even did a track day at Brans hatch.. shredded the rear tyre, but never had so much fun with my trousers' on Best ever bike

[@TheFluffyWendigo]

This is the only bike that terrified me when I rode it. You’ve no idea just how insanely they accelerate until you've ridden one

[@peterherrington3300]

If they are reading your comment , they probably do know how they accelerate. Try a turbo busa if you think yours is quick

[@DarkIzo]

im reading this and ive never been on a busa

[@cub67]

I had an 05 busa and an 05 zx10R. I took both bikes to the drag strip and I was shocked that the zx10R was quicker and faster at the drag strip with me riding both bikes. I sold the busa not long after that.

[@daveyt4802]

Yep, demo rode a 2017 a few years ago. They are pretty sweet!

[@zenmark42]

this is a great video, you really got into stuff and explained everything really well.

[@ronaldsimpson3423]

The end dialogue was said really well. 😊 one day and may come to an end where these 1400 300 cc bikes are no longer here it’s very interesting.

[@Hawk7886]

It'll happen once battery tech is mature. You'd need a machine with more range and power than a Supersport. Once you have both, ICE is dead in motorcycles.

[@m4xxor765]

Its 4:43am right now and sleep is the last thing on my mind, I gotta see why the turbo Hayabusa engine is the god of speed

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

Good video! Bikes are another level. Unfortunately, they are too dangerous for the average family man. I bought one and couldn't stay off the throttle. I had to sell of it, or it would have killed me.

[@GrimmS163]

Thats why I got a honda shadow! I love speed too much. Its perfect for just cruising around on a beautiful day in some local state parks, and just fast enough to comfortably keep up with traffic 👍

[@kurtstap]

FANTASTIC PRODUCTION!!! Bravisssimi!!! Going to enjoy exploring the channel!!!

[@DersNoNem]

Low compression and high engine displacement is the key. Stroker and big bore kit would made it even monster of an engine.

[@kovacevd]

No .... 4 cylinder reving to 10.5k rpm stroke it and big bore and see if it can rev to 10.5k susuki know what there doing, you dont. They spent lots of money and time making the most powerfull bike engine, you didn't.

[@DersNoNem]

@@kovacevd who is this susuki that I have never heard of? 'Suzuki' doing the research for long term and reliability. You can still do high revolution with bigger bore, long stroke is the challenge. Also having bigger stroke means bigger displacement, so force induction can be introduced. Making the cylinder bigger by those methods means lower compression ratio.

[@rockettman2025]

I've owned over 40 motorcycles in my lifetime, including the ZX11, Blackbird and the Hayabusa. The Blackbird was a beautiful bike but not really that much faster than the ZX11. The Hayabusa though, that thing was a bloody rocketship. I loved mine but i was riding around like a fucking maniac and with young kids at home I figured it was best that I sell it. Of all the bikes I've owned, that isn the one i miss the most.

[@shaneweightman]

I had the Hyabusa and superblackbirds , 4 in total , the blackbird was the better machine in my opinion, I had a lot of big bikes over a 20 yr period, an 06 zx10r was my favourite bike of lots owned , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧 , ps I rode them all very hard to there limits

[@SquadMane]

Don't know much about bikes, but I don't care. With the quality of videos you produce I'll watch anything.

[@duckdestroyer2412]

I think Suzuki knew what they were doing naming it the Hayabusa, considering it eats (honda) blackbirds.

[@Hawk7886]

Yes that's what the video said

[@DJ-Daz]

Way way back in 1999 I passed my test (UK) and got an SV650s (Yellow and utterly gorgeous). A year later I took my mates dad's Busa for a spin, I WAS SHITTING MYSELF. But I didn't need to, it was actually a really refined, easy and friendly ride. Open it and cane it, and it would kill you faster than a .50 cal and do more damage. It still astonishes me that the Busa will break ALMOST ALL speed limits across the world.... in first gear!

[@artcurious807]

Peregrine Falcon "Hayabusa" in Japanese, the peregrine falcon can reach speeds 180 - 200mph in a dive to catch prey. Hence the fastest production motorcycle being named Hayabusa when introduced in 1999. "They are the fastest animal on the planet. When they attack a prey bird, in a hunting dive called a “stoop,” they reach speeds in excess of 300 kph. Some birds have been recorded diving at an incredible 390 kph. To breathe while traveling at such speeds, the bird has a specialized respiratory system." "The lungs are supplemented by air sacs where gas exchange does not occur, but from where air is pumped into the lungs to keep them inflated at all times, even when the bird is breathing out. Peregrine falcons also have special cones in their nostrils to regulate air flow when diving at high speeds. The heart is as strong as the bird is fast, beating 268 times per minute. Food: Medium-size birds, watch out; Blackbirds, ducks, shorebirds, ptarmigans, grouse, doves and songbirds - peregrine falcons prey almost exclusively on other birds. In cities, they will take pigeons and starlings."

Great video, I have had 400hp on my turbo busa for 7 years all racing and im a big boy. Still have stock bottom end and transmission
