If you are wondering, Yes I bought the motorcycle!!! I did get a very short dealer test ride first which I tried to make a short "Quick Reaction" video out of but GoPro Audio failed me again. However, this was a much more extensive ride and review of the bike. Stay tuned for more Busa vids down the road.
Congrats on the new Busa! 👍 I bought a gen3 black and gold too. So much midrange torque, feels like unlimited power anytime you crank that throttle. I'm sure you are gonna be very happy. 😁
I'm loving my Busa .. very fast and very stable .. I have changed the pegs to "vario pegs" to provide an extra bit of leg room .. it's now transformed into a real super sports tourer
@@BibtheBoulder nope .. they just replace standard pegs .. didn’t affect gear shift BUT .. I did need adjust rear brake lever though (and adjust brake light on / off)
I have recently bought a gen3 and it is my 6th Hayabusa. This 3rd incarnation is what I always wanted the original Hayabusa to be. The addition of cruise control, the electronic package, and the lower down torque have turned this bike into a very very competent machine.
Great review bud.👍 I watched a 'Busa review a few weeks ago. Since then, the pesky algorithms have pulled up dozens more and I've watched them all! Reviewers' comments don't vary much. One thing all reviews have in common is that as the throttle opens, the talking stops and is replaced with mildly deranged laughter.
Blew out my back working in the oilfields of ND. I sold off my Harley because the doctors told me, after my third operation, that I have a 50/50 chance of becoming paralyzed if I end up in the hospital again. How ever I have come to find out that I have become super depressed. And all I can think of is getting back on 2 wheels and rolling them dice. FACKIT!! So I feel like the Busa might be the perfect bike for me. Nice and comfortable and yet if I hit something going as fast as I’m planning on going. I don’t want to live any how!! 😂😂😂
I'm 55 and wanted a sport bike all my life. a week after my 55th birthday I said "I better get it now or may never" and bought a 2023 hayabusa. I was looking for GSXR750, could not find them anywhere. sat on a 2023 Hayabusa after a GSXR1000 and said this is comfortable (hayabusa). I am 5'6" 150ish lbs. its a big bike, but I love it. I feel a lot of enjoyment on that bike even if I get hurt on it, I will be enjoying life !
Congratulations on the new bike man!!! I know you're loving it!! I think the 22 is best looking year of all the Busas!! Really good overall review too man!! Also, a bit jealous of the area you get to ride in!! Really gorgeous!!
Busa's are such good looking bikes (my opinion). Now with tech. Really like the new bike. Those complaining about the power of the Busa. I just do not know what to say about that. I doubt many could use it to its full potential ( i know i would not be able to).
Agreed....only drag racers have the right to complain as far as I am concerned. It's 1300 cc's for crying out loud. Still though there is always someone complaining.
Hi Buddy from South Africa 🇿🇦. I just picked up my Silver / Red busa 2 weeks ago. Just done the run in service yesterday. I am fifty, and sold my 1250rt for this beautiful machine. I owned the first gen, and when I saw all the reviews of this gen 3, I could not resist. It was a calling for me and I am loving every kilometer I put on. I guess I will keep riding this "type" of bike, until my body says otherwise. Congrats on your purchase....
If its as comfortable as the Gen 2, it will not disappoint on trips. I went on a medium trip a week ago. It's truly an amazing machine. A true mile muncher and very good mpg's, 43 on mine. Enjoy this bad boy.
Love how small the world is sometimes! Jealous of your full Akra exhaust, the stock exhaust is one of the things I just can't wait to get rid of. The 22 Busa is solid like big ass piece of granite and beautiful. Which color scheme did you get?
I love the Busa But no one talks about the sidebags (back) options, I can't find anywhere of a brand that makes bags cage for touring for the Hayabusa and its frustrating Great review Hayabusa we love you
That’s awesome MB!! That dash has a lot going on for sure, the ktm has that one touch start. Love the look of it, the black and burnt orange, power on tap 😀👍
Glad to hear it’s comfortable to ride, it needs to be, to shift that much bike I want to be comfort at least 😂 gotta love an hydraulic clutch, they are like butter compared to 90’s bikes 😂 my guy is the wheelchair is gonna have arms of steel 🦾 glad you’re happy with it mate, she’s gorgeous to be fair, the roads and parking in the UK are sadly a little too small for her, but she must eat up the wider road in the states 🤘
I was so impressed by the dude in the wheel chair the grade of the hill doesn't come through the gopro very well. Yeah, I've watched so much footage in the UK it would be a bit of a hassle to muscle the Busa around some of those areas, the roads in the US are much more accommodating. I can't wait to swap the exhaust, I think it will look so much better and loose close to 50lbs. Thanks for watching mate, appreciate you!
Loved your review. You did a great job! I had just bought this same bike a week ago. I've been riding since I was 6 and I'm about to hit 55. I had the first generation right when it first came out and absolutely loved the bike. Love this one even better. Just an incredible machine and I'm just feeling it out. I rode 825 miles in 2 days and I really thought I would be so sore the third day, but the seat is great and the bike is so well balanced. The cruise control is great. I probably rode 760 miles sitting straight up and just driving it with my legs and balance. Such a well balanced bike and you think it and it does it. One of the best bikes, if not the best bike I have ever owned for the all round usability of it and it's absolutely beautiful and smooth.
I seriously hope to god you never come off your bike. I’m cringing thinking about what your feet and arms would look like after a spill. I totally get it’s hot where you are !nice relaxed review.
Iam so used to my tiger800 but this bike is sooo tempting… I’ve had my share of super sports bikes …you think I’ll regret if I opt for this bike ??safe and happy miles from 🇮🇳🙌🙌
Well, a Tiger 800 can go places a Busa really shouldn't and is probably more comfy then a Busa so I guess it really comes down to what you want out of your motorcycle.
I like your Alpinstar gloves !!! I need to replace mine for next season. ^^ I'll try to find them :) I'm getting exaclty the same Busa nex week !! I can't wait !! ^^ Enjoy and ride safe man !
Hey Mark, I've decided I need to go ahead and toss mine on the trailer, head to Colorado and come rides witcha. I'm only about 7hrs from ya over here in salina ks.
Yes, I'm using a GIVI tail bag, did a review on it some time ago. I'll try to find and link the tail bag video. I've used it for 3 trips now, maybe around 8k miles. It hung on pretty good through the Ozark national forest in Arkansa which has plenty of twisties.
Thinking about selling my Harley and my ST1300 for a gen 3 busa. I wish it was easier to get test rides. I'm finding it hard to reason spending the extra money (I think the MSRP is like 3k more?) on a boosa over a ZX14, except that I want a boosa lmao. Thanks for the video. I subbed!
Yeah the MSRP is about 3k more but it's a Busa. Honestly they are both bad ass bikes I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. Thanks for the sub man and get the Busa, it's a legend! 😁👍
I apologize for not finding this content sooner! Just kidding...but the content is great. This might be a bit long 🤷🏼♂️,so sorry for that...but back to the good shit! I love your long ride content, makes me anxious for my new "Adventure" on my (hopefully) new 2024 Suzuki Hayabusa. I am in my early 50's now and want something to give me an adrenaline rush, and it sounds as though this is " just what the doctor (not my wife) ordered"!✌️👍
Congrats on your new Busa. I love mine so far. I will absolutely do multiple touring vids on this bike. Gotta get some accessories first, the tail and tank bags I use for touring on my ZX10 won't work on Hayabusa, plus a few more tid bits!! Stay tuned!!!
i've been considering buying a Busa.. it would be my first bike. Also seen a lot of videos, this is the best so far. Most videos shows people racing around, this was informative and showed what most people would be doing for cruising and everyday usage. thanks.
Buying a Hayabusa as your *first ever* motorbike? Without any experience on motorbikes, you will be very fast in big trouble. I would you consider buying initially a beginner friendly, smaller (ccm) and (probably used) bike.
@@vasiliyt8600 yes, it would be my first ever bike. I didnt say i never rode a bike.. plenty of experience otherwise. Helps to understand the words and how they are applied.
@@keote that’s an unfair comment because you didn’t provide context. Generally speaking, most people would preface what you said with “it’s my first bike, but I’ve rode others….” If you wanna be pedantic then you could have said, “it’s my first bike PURCHASE” and even still most people, out of concern, would say what Vasili said. Don’t make a rude comment when you completely discounted speaking habits.
How tall are you. I just sold my cbr 1000rr 07. Looking at this and the new gsxr 1000 I'm getting a little older. Close to 40. Not sure which one would be better
I am 6ft tall and 48 years old. Both great bikes but I would ask yourself what kind of riding will you be doing the most? I've done multiday road trips on my Busa and my 2015 ZX10 they are both capable but.....the cruise control on the busa is a life saver, the increased fuel capacity is nice and the bike is a bit more comfy for the long rides and still plenty capable of carving up a canyon with a skilled rider. The extra weight and softer suspension aren't a huge minus to cornering but I still prefer my ZX10 for a quick local or day ride through the corners. The ZX10 (and probably GSXR) simply feel sharper and more nimble, I can feel the difference with the stiffer suspension, etc...
I have an 07 gen 1 and love it to bits. Love gen 2 too. Not sure about gen 3. Design is acceptable but they made the iconic kanji look lame as hell and all those electronics... Don't know man. What I love about the bike is the raw experience, the purity of the 90s design madness. Would have to try it.
If you get a chance to try it give it a go....the cool thing about the electronics is that you almost have full control over it all it's very configurable. The QS is shit though.
I definitely like the hydroelectric cluck. I I very pissed about the cruise control like really Kawasaki get with the times . Very awesome motorcycle 🤙🤙🤙🧿🧿🧿
I'm sure the next zx14 will have cruise. I mean the 21 ZX10R has cruise and heated grips, not that you need heated grips where you are at just saying....
The Gen 1 Hayabusa is the lightest of the three models ! That is the sportiest proof. 🏍Gen 1: 244 kg (equipment weight) / 175 hp 🏍Gen 2: 266 kg (equipment weight) / 197 hp 🏍Gen 3: 264 kg (equipment weight) / 188 hp
I am coming from a 710 lb Yamaha cruiser windshield and all. I should've got the busa from the jump but, let everyone else get in my head and ended up with the cruiser. Would the hayabusa be a good all around bike to ride some what long distances?
If you go to Suzuki's web site they have a payment calculator you can adjust the term, interest rate, down payment and cost. The calculator will then tell you how screwed you are for the next X years.
Hey bro i buy a New hayabusa but 3 after buyed went try to start and push the red thing start like the batery is a little dead but the hayabusa is New what do you think
Probably not till spring, it's pretty late in the year for me to go to far. We still have nice days where I can get out and ride but the mornings and evenings are to cold for my old ass. So probably April/May of 2022! I've got a couple of projects to keep me busy through the winter, rebuild of my motocross bike, Vinyl wrap the 97 GSXR 600 and a few mods on the new Busa before we road trip her. She gots about 50lbs to loose maybe more.
Hi there,i think this is the best bike for cruise and daily use,greathings from Sweden. Good job,fantastic video. ps.i have gen.3 white & blue...monsterrr
Do you think I'd fit on there comfyness wise? Comparing to the gsxr? Haha man when you did that small pull....oh my.god it even sounds tasty 😍 I want one. I mean I get wanting all the lower for drag racing but I agree with you completely....you're going to tear the thing apart anyway so meh. Hahaha I got a Busa....stop it 😂😂 Haha I see you're not using the quickshifter yet :P Ah man.....I'm too excited to see you using that thing over the next few years :)
I think it's only slightly more comfortable then the GSXR or my ZX10 in terms of the overall position the rider is in. The seat is damn amazing though but in terms of reach, angle of knee bend, given your height I don't think you would be much more "comfy" to be honest. I did another short ride a few days later and a short, but much harder pull and it scared me. I think it might be faster then the my ZX10. I can't imagine what it would feel like with the ECU unrestricted. Sometimes I just forget the QS is there. I can't wait for the first spring/summer road trip.
@@MonkeyButtRides well he had simple large soft bags that looked like they belonged on a horse , the only problem with them they started to rip on 180mph german autobahn which we fixed by a reinforcement strap to stop the wind tearing them off
It’s always funny to me, every single person talks about the weight of the bike. At 582 pounds it’s still a good deal lighter than my Harley that’s about 850 something pounds. lol. An aftermarket full exhaust for the Busa will save you 30 or 40 pounds.
Oh totally and a 4 into 1 exhuast would probably drop another 10lbs which is what I'm gonna do. Full header and all. The weight isn't a big deal but if you have never ridden anything that heavy it is something you notice real quick but you get use to it pretty quick.
@@MonkeyButtRides I’m looking to trade my road glide next year for the Busa. Ridden sport bikes in the past but don’t really wanna full commit to the riding position anymore, the Busa is slightly more relaxed. lol
Overall, they are good. Not great, but good. 7 out of 10 stars. There was a recall on some of the earlier 2022's had to do with the master cylinder. I've had a couple of panic braking situations, and the front brakes did their job the front ABS is not overly intrusive at all. I'm not a fan of linked brakes or rear ABS on sport bikes. I just prefer having control over my rear brakes and rear ABS on a sport bike is just dumb if you ask me, the rear ABS kicks in very easy under heavy braking and takes a bit of fun away from riding the bike, but that's me. That is just the Euro bubble wrap keep me safe world we live in now. For most folks the brakes will be just fine.
My wife is 4'11'' which is 152.4cm. She can barley tip toe one foot down and has a very long stretch to the handle bars. With 12cm more I guess maybe you could flat foot one foot or tip toe both feet and probably still have a bit of a stretch to get to the handle bars. It's going to be big for you get to a dealer and sit on one! See what you think!
@@mrniceguy4920 LOL after 40 years of riding and racing I don't get offended as easily, no worries man, I will continue to forget my indicator and not wear leather when it's hot as balls out LOL
I ride a harley and want to get a sport bike for going to work at my local Suzuki dealer that have the same bike you are riding I want it but not for 18,990 I would rather get a second gen busa for 10,000
We are all trying to except the looks of the new Hayabusa, but honestly it’s ugly. They could’ve did a better job on designing it. They also should’ve made it with more power and so a 1000cc bike can’t beat it.
I find they say its actually 28.94 inches wide. It's actually less than a yard wide. The shape is what makes it look big. Not to mention its size relative to most bikes.
@MonkeyButtRides what did you upgrade too? I'm 6 2 250. This bike is only bike comfortable for me. What's your top speed and size to compare. I'm thinking of upgrading to a TTS supercharger.
I went with the full M4 4 into 1. Drops about 55lbs off the bike, sounds great and cheap compared to some of the other more popular systems out there. I'm 6ft tall and 210lbs. I use the bike mostly for long rides (multi day) and it's a backup bike for weekend canyon riding up in the mountains but I prefer my ZX10 over the Busa for the day ride in the mountains.
@MonkeyButtRides yeah, I've seen m4. Don't know much about them. I hate ninjas. So I have been riding Harleys for 25+years. I'm retiring and want a Supersport bike, that's comfortable and hit 200+mph.
M4 makes a good product, I've used their exhaust system a few times over the years. 200+mph huh? Well, the Busa is probably the most comfy liter+ sport bike out there so I would say it's a good place to start. At 6'2 you might want a taller screen and some bar risers. The busa is still a very sporty, forward position. The stock screen isn't going to give you hardly any wind protection.
If you are wondering, Yes I bought the motorcycle!!! I did get a very short dealer test ride first which I tried to make a short "Quick Reaction" video out of but GoPro Audio failed me again. However, this was a much more extensive ride and review of the bike. Stay tuned for more Busa vids down the road.

I'm still pinching myself.
Congrats on the new Busa! 👍
I bought a gen3 black and gold too. So much midrange torque, feels like unlimited power anytime you crank that throttle. I'm sure you are gonna be very happy. 😁
Thanks and congrats to you to!! Yes, the midrange is outstanding. I've already got a big ole list of mods planned for my new busa!
@@MonkeyButtRides cool, I subbed and will look forward to seeing your setup. 😎
I'm loving my Busa .. very fast and very stable .. I have changed the pegs to "vario pegs" to provide an extra bit of leg room .. it's now transformed into a real super sports tourer
Awesome man! I'm going have to check out those "vario pegs", never heard of them.
@@MonkeyButtRides Recently sold my 05 ZX10R. I miss it. Had Vario pegs and raised the bars. Was a great bike.
Do the vario pegs mean you need to adjust the QS?
@@BibtheBoulder nope ..
they just replace standard pegs .. didn’t affect gear shift
BUT .. I did need adjust rear brake lever though (and adjust brake light on / off)

Glad you liked you the video! Thanks for commenting!
Buying a Hayabusa as your *first ever* motorbike? Without any experience on motorbikes, you will be very fast in big trouble. I would you consider buying initially a beginner friendly, smaller (ccm) and (probably used) bike.
@@vasiliyt8600 yes, it would be my first ever bike. I didnt say i never rode a bike.. plenty of experience otherwise. Helps to understand the words and how they are applied.
@@keote that’s an unfair comment because you didn’t provide context. Generally speaking, most people would preface what you said with “it’s my first bike, but I’ve rode others….” If you wanna be pedantic then you could have said, “it’s my first bike PURCHASE” and even still most people, out of concern, would say what Vasili said. Don’t make a rude comment when you completely discounted speaking habits.
@@H.KH44N quit your crying. You don't need to complain about me wanting to purchase a bike, lighten up.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐
thanks!
How tall are you.
I just sold my cbr 1000rr 07.
Looking at this and the new gsxr 1000
I'm getting a little older. Close to 40. Not sure which one would be better
I am 6ft tall and 48 years old. Both great bikes but I would ask yourself what kind of riding will you be doing the most? I've done multiday road trips on my Busa and my 2015 ZX10 they are both capable but.....the cruise control on the busa is a life saver, the increased fuel capacity is nice and the bike is a bit more comfy for the long rides and still plenty capable of carving up a canyon with a skilled rider. The extra weight and softer suspension aren't a huge minus to cornering but I still prefer my ZX10 for a quick local or day ride through the corners. The ZX10 (and probably GSXR) simply feel sharper and more nimble, I can feel the difference with the stiffer suspension, etc...
I have an 07 gen 1 and love it to bits. Love gen 2 too.
Not sure about gen 3. Design is acceptable but they made the iconic kanji look lame as hell and all those electronics... Don't know man. What I love about the bike is the raw experience, the purity of the 90s design madness. Would have to try it.
If you get a chance to try it give it a go....the cool thing about the electronics is that you almost have full control over it all it's very configurable. The QS is shit though.
@@MonkeyButtRides Will have to try! And save money in case I like it. It ain't cheap!
I got a busa as my 1st bike (never ridden one yet) and you think this is good for a 1st time rider?
I think there are better choices for a first bike but it also depends greatly on the rider as well. I wish you luck.
I definitely like the hydroelectric cluck. I I very pissed about the cruise control like really Kawasaki get with the times . Very awesome motorcycle 🤙🤙🤙🧿🧿🧿
I'm sure the next zx14 will have cruise. I mean the 21 ZX10R has cruise and heated grips, not that you need heated grips where you are at just saying....
The Gen 1 Hayabusa is the lightest of the three models ! That is the sportiest proof.
🏍Gen 1: 244 kg (equipment weight) / 175 hp
🏍Gen 2: 266 kg (equipment weight) / 197 hp
🏍Gen 3: 264 kg (equipment weight) / 188 hp
I am coming from a 710 lb Yamaha cruiser windshield and all. I should've got the busa from the jump but, let everyone else get in my head and ended up with the cruiser. Would the hayabusa be a good all around bike to ride some what long distances?
It probably depends on the individual but for me it's good. I just got back from a 4k miles road trip.
Nice!
👍😁
did you finance or buy outright?
If I was only rich enough to buy outright????
@@MonkeyButtRides i’m looking at financing one. what was your down payment like?
If you go to Suzuki's web site they have a payment calculator you can adjust the term, interest rate, down payment and cost. The calculator will then tell you how screwed you are for the next X years.
Good to see you dear
Looking nice here I am your friend watching your amazing content heartily like your content /
Hey bro i buy a New hayabusa but 3 after buyed went try to start and push the red thing start like the batery is a little dead but the hayabusa is New what do you think
Maybe you got a bum battery from the dealer.
The best thing
every girl wants to get on back a Hayabusa
-before any other bike💡
Nice job
Thanks!
It is quite a machine, I hope you have many happy miles on it :-)
Thanks hippo going enjoy the shit out of it!!!
@@MonkeyButtRides 😁
Very sexy bike! When is the first road trip? :)
Probably not till spring, it's pretty late in the year for me to go to far. We still have nice days where I can get out and ride but the mornings and evenings are to cold for my old ass. So probably April/May of 2022! I've got a couple of projects to keep me busy through the winter, rebuild of my motocross bike, Vinyl wrap the 97 GSXR 600 and a few mods on the new Busa before we road trip her. She gots about 50lbs to loose maybe more.
Hi there,i think this is the best bike for cruise and daily use,greathings from Sweden. Good job,fantastic video.
ps.i have gen.3 white & blue...monsterrr
Thank you for the kind words. Congrats on your white/blue Gen3!!!
Do you think I'd fit on there comfyness wise? Comparing to the gsxr?
Haha man when you did that small pull....oh my.god it even sounds tasty 😍 I want one.
I mean I get wanting all the lower for drag racing but I agree with you completely....you're going to tear the thing apart anyway so meh.
Hahaha I got a Busa....stop it 😂😂
Haha I see you're not using the quickshifter yet :P
Ah man.....I'm too excited to see you using that thing over the next few years :)
I think it's only slightly more comfortable then the GSXR or my ZX10 in terms of the overall position the rider is in. The seat is damn amazing though but in terms of reach, angle of knee bend, given your height I don't think you would be much more "comfy" to be honest. I did another short ride a few days later and a short, but much harder pull and it scared me. I think it might be faster then the my ZX10. I can't imagine what it would feel like with the ECU unrestricted. Sometimes I just forget the QS is there. I can't wait for the first spring/summer road trip.
There are buses you cannot fit on comfy wise you Jurassic Throw back.
@@hachewie man buses are tiny. They all suck forever. In Ireland anyway. I abhor buses
only probkem is bag options but my m8 went round europe with simple throw over bags
I've got some vids coming on some soft bag options that I'm using on a road trip so far working out well.
@@MonkeyButtRides well he had simple large soft bags that looked like they belonged on a horse , the only problem with them they started to rip on 180mph german autobahn which we fixed by a reinforcement strap to stop the wind tearing them off
It’s always funny to me, every single person talks about the weight of the bike. At 582 pounds it’s still a good deal lighter than my Harley that’s about 850 something pounds. lol. An aftermarket full exhaust for the Busa will save you 30 or 40 pounds.
Oh totally and a 4 into 1 exhuast would probably drop another 10lbs which is what I'm gonna do. Full header and all. The weight isn't a big deal but if you have never ridden anything that heavy it is something you notice real quick but you get use to it pretty quick.
@@MonkeyButtRides I’m looking to trade my road glide next year for the Busa. Ridden sport bikes in the past but don’t really wanna full commit to the riding position anymore, the Busa is slightly more relaxed. lol
Same here! My first bike was a 2005 Harley RKC and people look at my 17 AT and say how can you ride something so heavy?! Just do it!
HAAA. My 09 Dyna FatBob 300kg. Longer wheel base&lower. They say the Bayabusa long,low& heavy. NOT.
@@davidpalmer1915 All a matter of perspective from what you have been riding.
LOL GRABS YA ASS CHEEKS AND MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME! best quote for a Seat
It's the honest truth, it is the best seat I've ever had a motorsickle....
@@MonkeyButtRides have to change ya name to COMFY-BUTT
Good one!
What about the brakes?
Overall, they are good. Not great, but good. 7 out of 10 stars. There was a recall on some of the earlier 2022's had to do with the master cylinder. I've had a couple of panic braking situations, and the front brakes did their job the front ABS is not overly intrusive at all. I'm not a fan of linked brakes or rear ABS on sport bikes. I just prefer having control over my rear brakes and rear ABS on a sport bike is just dumb if you ask me, the rear ABS kicks in very easy under heavy braking and takes a bit of fun away from riding the bike, but that's me. That is just the Euro bubble wrap keep me safe world we live in now. For most folks the brakes will be just fine.
wears the hell out of me driving slow in traffic
I could totally see that in slow stop/go type traffic.
I'm 164cm in height, well built-in, will it be too big for me, I wanna own one
My wife is 4'11'' which is 152.4cm. She can barley tip toe one foot down and has a very long stretch to the handle bars. With 12cm more I guess maybe you could flat foot one foot or tip toe both feet and probably still have a bit of a stretch to get to the handle bars. It's going to be big for you get to a dealer and sit on one! See what you think!
@@MonkeyButtRides Thanks bro to reply soon appreciated
are those Sketchers?
HaHa, indeed they are, I love Sketchers.
BUSAAAAA
never forget your indicator and never wearjust a sweater
Thanks so much for the helpful tips.....
@@MonkeyButtRides yeah sorry dude,ijust noticedit and feltcompelled tobe adick
@@mrniceguy4920 LOL after 40 years of riding and racing I don't get offended as easily, no worries man, I will continue to forget my indicator and not wear leather when it's hot as balls out LOL
@@MonkeyButtRides ♥
I ride a harley and want to get a sport bike for going to work at my local Suzuki dealer that have the same bike you are riding I want it but not for 18,990 I would rather get a second gen busa for 10,000
Nothing wrong with a 2nd Gen or even the first Gen busa, they are great bikes plenty of them out there still.
CANYON!!!
Hella sick bike bro you is a blessed man. Most stable bike. Most sexy Most legendary. I'm getting one fa sho, lean angle?
I am indeed. Lean angle is plentiful. You will not be disappointed!
@@MonkeyButtRides just a good question for your viewers, me....u know how much I research my lean angle. 😆 🤣
PUSH GID DAMMIT
Its not good for long riding, you will be with back pain and arms
Too late.....
We are all trying to except the looks of the new Hayabusa, but honestly it’s ugly. They could’ve did a better job on designing it. They also should’ve made it with more power and so a 1000cc bike can’t beat it.
Really???
If it's the same width as a car, it's big.
Yikes.☹️
I find they say its actually 28.94 inches wide. It's actually less than a yard wide. The shape is what makes it look big. Not to mention its size relative to most bikes.
Thick Cushy Dense wait you talkin bout me? lol
🤣😂
Wait till the drop 80lbs off it ha
Lmfao sports yes tourer no nothing touring about this bike I have one
I just went 4k miles to Orlando and back but ok...👍
You should stay in your lane.
When the ride turns spirited, I use all the asphalt available to me.
Yeah its big or maybe your just small ffs
Just get over it
They have all had hazards here
96 mentions of how big it is nice filler
Wow did I strike a chord. Love it.
Would this be a good first bike ?
@aussiepride2374 probably not the best choice for a first bike
Get rid of those hideous exhaust, vandemon exhaust
I did a long time ago.
@MonkeyButtRides what did you upgrade too? I'm 6 2 250. This bike is only bike comfortable for me. What's your top speed and size to compare. I'm thinking of upgrading to a TTS supercharger.
I went with the full M4 4 into 1. Drops about 55lbs off the bike, sounds great and cheap compared to some of the other more popular systems out there. I'm 6ft tall and 210lbs. I use the bike mostly for long rides (multi day) and it's a backup bike for weekend canyon riding up in the mountains but I prefer my ZX10 over the Busa for the day ride in the mountains.
@MonkeyButtRides yeah, I've seen m4. Don't know much about them. I hate ninjas. So I have been riding Harleys for 25+years. I'm retiring and want a Supersport bike, that's comfortable and hit 200+mph.
M4 makes a good product, I've used their exhaust system a few times over the years. 200+mph huh? Well, the Busa is probably the most comfy liter+ sport bike out there so I would say it's a good place to start. At 6'2 you might want a taller screen and some bar risers. The busa is still a very sporty, forward position. The stock screen isn't going to give you hardly any wind protection.
