Thanks for the kind words. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Belassi is a work of art, especially the carbon fibre work. Sure there are skis as quick or quicker, but there is nothing quite like this on the market right now. And for the super-rich, that's possibly part of the appeal. We are just super glad to get an insight into the Belassi Burrasca.
@@PotatoeJoe69 personally I’d rather deal with needing a stronger bilge pump than having to undo a shitload of bolts to access the engine compartment like on the new Kawasaki ultra
We thought the same thing. The engine would definitely be easier to work on if all skis were designed like this. As with other commenters, we were worried about water leaking into the engine bay. But despite us thrashing around all day, there wasn't a drop in there afterwards. The sealing was good. Thanks for the comments.
As the video says, in the same way there are cars as fast as a Ferrari, they're still not a Ferrari. The carbon-fibre work alone is a work of art on the Belassi. It's not for everyone, but it's great to see such specialised craft join the personal watercraft space.
This amazing ski is built on a special hull with carbon fibre reinforcement and features a turbocharged 4 - strokes 1602cc triple engine rated at 320 HP .
The storage is immediately disqualifying for the US where you are required to carry certain safety equipment including a fire extinguisher which it does not appear to have enough room for. But also where am I supposed to stick my phone, wallet, and car keys. Is this ski only intended for people who live directly on the water and dont ever have to trailer it?
That's good feedback, thanks for letting us know. There is a recess under the seat for a fire extinguisher but, for now, there's not much space for anything else. Thanks for your note.
It's cool looking for sure and has some nice features, but I wonder how it's reliability would be compared to the other big 3 brands. Granted, Sea-Doo isn't very hard to beat for reliability 😅
Thanks for your feedback. Fair question. It didn't miss a beat during our time with the ski. We're keen to test it again in glassed out conditions with half a tank of fuel and try for another top speed run.
Yeah it’s probably not at its best in the ocean. That’s what the RXT-X 325 is for I suppose. As we say in the video, the RXP-X 325 is a very specific ski for a particular riding style. But damn it’s quick. Thanks for the note.
I want one ☝️ Where’s the dealer? People in the comments crying about the price lol. It’s priced that way to keep the sh1t kickers off them!! And yeah performance isn’t the most important thing on a jet ski. I can appreciate a beautiful machine for what it is.
Thanks for the feedback. It really is a work of art. Hopefully you get to see it in person at one of the boat shows in Australia this year. It is on display at this year's Sydney Boat Show on the rear deck of a mega-rich boat on the One Brokerage stand (the local representative for the Belassi Burrasca).
We understand the Belassi is out of reach for many Jet Ski riders. However, the people who can afford a Burrasca are looking for something exclusive and personalised. The good news: there is plenty of room in the personal watercraft market for everyone.
We understand your point about the term 'Jet Ski' versus 'personal watercraft'. However, although Kawasaki trademarked the Jet Ski name, it has become widely accepted as a generic term for this type of vessel, especially in the mainstream media and the broader community. As for your other observation, we'd encourage you to inspect the craftsmanship of a Belassi before passing any judgment on it.
Beautiful ski no doubt, some cool features for sure. Great content, thanks for sharing!

@@WatercraftZone Amen
I love the engine compartment access. I feel like all skis should be like this
It seems like a good idea until you realize how easy it is to fill the hull with water

Brilliant unbiased review 👍
This machine is clearly NOT for 6'2 + and financially challenged people 😅

@@WatercraftZone it is indeed a beautiful craft

It's epic. And a work of art.

my seadoo has been great so far have close to 50 hours on it last year, its all about how you maintain it!!!
I don’t like the rear seat, looks unsafe for passengers
The rear portion of the seat is definitely slim on this model. We would recommend using it as a solo rider.
No good for Sea use, cant store flares, water, and other saftey gear you need while on the ocean. Not for me...
Yeah it’s probably not at its best in the ocean. That’s what the RXT-X 325 is for I suppose. As we say in the video, the RXP-X 325 is a very specific ski for a particular riding style. But damn it’s quick. Thanks for the note.

What a waste of money.

Ohh, it's not a Jet Ski. It is some other piece of crap PWC.
