- What better place to sample the new Suzuki Hayabusa than a runway? Well, a road test would be nice, so Fagan did both at the UK media launch...

Would love to see a drag race between the 3 generations of the Busa’s... or even better...a Budget Bike Battle, Hyper Bike Edition 😃
Oooooo, now there's an idea....
That's a brilliant idea I'd like to see both lol
@@FortyFourTeeth ohhh yessss!!!
In the words of Ben Stiller in Starsky and Hutch
“Do It” !!!
Gen 1 Busa vs Super Blackbird vs ZZR1100/1200???
Awesome idea, limited bike choice tho
I Love that they kept the analog clocks!
Amazes me that this is what we want yet the manufacturers don't hear us!!!!!!!!!!! Yes a small TFT for the other info is fine BUT GIVE US CLOCKS for revs and speed damn it!
COOL!!!!
No more 200mph on the speedo though :(
@@LondonSteveLee There hasn't been since they got restricted so even most gen 1's run the 185mph speedo.
@@siraff4461 Didn't realise that as I had a 1999.
Made the most of that runway 😂
Of course the US is the highest selling market for the Hayabusa, the 'Busa is the #1 choice for every beginner over there.
Yep, with a polished frame, stretched swing arm, under fairing LEDs and a flippin' truck tyre on the back!
Those are look at me wankers, not real Busa owners... 😂😂😂😂
#1 beginner bike here because we go ass to grass for better or worse.
It eats up miles like nothing. In canada they do well because the distance between major cities is larger than most European countries.
@bab ep3 maybe travel out of your bubble..lol
"that's not long enough" - that's what she said.
Gold 👍
I didn’t watch the other guys release review of the Busa. I saw it in the videos list, but I waited until you guys did your review and I’m not disappointed ;)
Al,first class review as always,had to watch a few times going down the runway,gripping stuff,cheers 🙏🙏
Such a beast. I'm loving the analogue needles and the hazards blinking under hard braking.
Al , its so refreshing to hear a reviewer mention suspension. Another great review
Nothing like a large displacement four cylinder bike with gobs of power and torque, and that refinement Suzuki puts into it all. I’d much rather have this over the H2 or one of the current liter class super bikes.
Mmm i thoroughly enjoy my ducati v4. But this looks fun too.
Great to see you lads back out there, great vid.
Been waiting for your review on this bike since I saw other channel’s lame content on the same launch (no names mentioned). As always, well worth waiting for and your reviews are always better, less voice over and more on board. I always new Al
would review this one, being a Suzuki fan boy, same as me. Loved the runway launches, loving the fact that Suzuki is still making this bike, doubtless drag racers the world over and kit car/racing car manufacturers are so grateful. The fact Suzuki has beefed up engine internals means obscene amounts of horsepower will soon be available, turbos etc. Yet another excellent review, I wait every week for my 44 Teeth fix like a needy junky, ABTW F*****g brilliant wheelies!!
Ahh great missed you Guys on Monday 👍🏻
Nice rounded review of the new Busa, well done👍🏻
Always liked the busa just had no place in my riding.now I'm old take the misses on the back alot and she realy likes fast road work this bike makes loads of sense.great review,thanks
The Busa is back ,that's Ultimately what matters.
Great Video.What a machine.....
I love the wheelies back down after each run. Haha
- Today's college kids wondering how old school men's confidence would look like ...
-Fagan : Hold my beer for a second there lad
( Power wheelies the new gen Busa down a runway like it's a Yz 250f )
- Ooohhhhh so that's how ...
Some of us college kids already have a busa...
@@REXman717 I'm going college/uni soon hope to grab a busa or gsxr1k on the cheap but gonna be difficult lol which gen u got
Soundtrack is lovely too.
Rode one of these today, agree with Stathams comments, its rapid but doesn't have the top end power of something like an S1000RR. I think its ideal if you want something fast and smooth to ride 2 up but can't face an adventure bike..
Got myself a ZZR Gen 1 last week and yeah - big CC big fun thats for sure
Had a bronze gen1 when they first came out, absolutely mental and obviously tyre technology has moved on massively but back then on a bt56 700miles from a rear tyre ridden with vigour 🙈
Nice motor Nige ! This and the Trumpet speed triple 1200 were the road bikes I was looking forward to this year, this would be a great bike to own, the heavily revised ST1200 should be a hum dinger.....
I only just discovered this channel... Time for a binge, you guys are great!
Mate go watch the budget bike battles. Hilarious. Boys are on point 👌👍
Same here. I’ve binged the budget bike battles. They are so funny. Surprises me that the sub count isn’t higher.
You may have done this already as other people have recommended them but the budget bike battle videos are great. Watch them in order though
Brilliant review ,Suits you Fagan !
Nice to see you out on my local roads 😊😊 Just gotta be careful of the craters in the road 😒
Things have certainly changed. Forgot how many times me and my mates watched Fast Bikes Mach 2 back in the early 00's wif Frosty on da muvaship. The Busa, Blackbird ZZR1100 etc certainly did give everything a kick along.
They were great weren’t they?
I met the producer and he was a top bloke...he had a shop on the kings road Chelsea
That looks insane mate 🔥🔥🔥
Perfect for you babez
I thought you didn't like bikes, Joe
@@nicovinn411 Moto GP is and always has been my favorite motorsport, love bikes, just don't trust myself on one.
COOL!!!!
“...and ‘C’ mode is soft lad mode” 😂
Great video guys. Enjoyed it a lot 👍🏻
Like the way you've got more than one on the road test..can see and hear her close up and what she looks like cornering at the same time.
Get on been waiting for this i absolutely lo love the new bussa
Christ mate, that grass looks like it get pretty close pretty damned quick
The problem with the new Busa is that in essence, it is no longer what the Busa stood for which is outright power and a land missile. They basically took the easy way out and did the bare minimum. Sorry, the bar has been moved since 2005 and when 999cc bikes make more power you've failed.
@@AndrasMihalyi Pegs up your ass and a massive stretch to the bars check.
Its never been a tourer.
@@AndrasMihalyi I've owned one for many years and I'm completely aware of the layout. Its no tourer. As for not being as extreme? You're not as tilted forward but the peg placing is at least as harsh as some sport bikes and the reach to the bars lifts your arms so its pretty wristy at lower speeds. It makes sense once you're moving very fast but you're unlikely to get away with that if you're touring.
I hate gentlemen's agreement of 186 mph restriction.
Buy sprocket and flash tune son
Better than government interference
A cheap(ish) tune will sort that if top speed is your thing.
@@harrier331 yeah, True.
Anything over 40km/h will kill in a sudden stop. So 250km/h, meh, 300km/h snore, 350km/h so what. It comes down to the limiting factor, the nut behind the bars. I'm on my 2nd Busa, heading towards a Gen 3.
Brilliant review 👏👍👌
Was that Neevs next to you on the runway? Busa looking good, good to see a company put out a ridiculous bike in these times, why not. Just saw a gen 2 the other day parked next to my Bird, looked like a slightly bigger Gixxer in that scenario :D
You're a lucky boy ^^ Those launches had me chuckling, ace fun. I'm sure it's ripe for the modders. I like the dash looks classy not full tft and looks lovely. Fuel consumption has got worse though and fuel tank is too small, lovely as it is I think it has become more niche. Stop looking at your lean angle stats nobody cares (I mean that nicely).
Good video lads. Not my cup of tea but the nostalgic part of my brain is happy to see the Busa still alive 🙏
The US also has the DR-Z 400 even tho it's carbureted while in Europe it has been discontinued since 09...
Haven't watched any other busa videos. Wanted to wait for 44 teeth vid 😎💪
I owned a gen 2 from new for around 12 months. It is one of the few bikes I wish I had never sold? I am yet to lay eyes on a gen 3, let alone ride it, but I am looking forward to riding one, and possibly biting the bullet and buying one.
The septic tanks?! Somebody is jealous. LOL Great video though.
Nicest looking busa yet , I was never a big fan of gen 1 & 2 but I’m loving gen 3 , no other bike has the presence a busa
Cheers Al, love your reviews
Having owned a second gen, and now a ZX14R.... im kinda digging this 👌
Al,. at the end of each run are you braking as hard as possible? Just wondering as the hazard lights are flashing?
Looks like Bike World Chris was there too, he is a total nutter. Crazy good rider.
yeh chris is good never met him but he seams a super nice guy as well he posted just over 180 mph looked like he was real close to the end of the runway though must have shut off right at the last second, Bennets had some old boi who looked about 12 giving it large about he had ridden everything since 1990 taliking total bullshit couldn't post more than 169 mph on the thing & chris whips is arse lol
@@deviantrider9309 thing is up the strip (and on the road) the standing 1/4 time is more relevant than topspeed.
@@randykawasaki So you're only interested in how your biike goes for the first 10 seconds? These bikes aren't just about a 1/4 mile - they are for pure straight line speed. Of course this one isn't as good at that as the last one but we'll brush over that since its got hill hold assist. Because apparently thats whats important on a hyperbike.
@@siraff4461 I didn't say that. By concentrating on mid range and not the top end Suzuki have themselves acknowledged the importance of real world riding: no one does 186 mph on the road unless they're desperate for prison action. I've ridden plenty of quick bikes over the years inc. a gen 2 Busa and on the road you really have to watch yourself because fast is so easy.
@@randykawasaki You're contradicting yourself. If people don't use the top end and don't miss it then having more low down means more chance of getting into trouble earlier. If they do use it (and a lot of us do - even in this vid you can see him giving it full beans from 2nd on) then having less top end is taking away from the bikes ability.
If you want to go fast on a sporty bike you aren't going to open the taps in a high gear and not bother changing. If you want to do that buy a Harley.
All this excuse of "concentrating on midrange" is BS aswell. Its got smaller throttle bodies and slower cams. Thats great for emissions and has the side effect of moving the torque further down the curve. That gives similar torque at lower rpm but the trade off is it falling flat on its face higher up.
Maybe they should have done a lovely diesel version for the full effect?
Had a hayabusa 2005 model, loved it, looked at getting back I to bikes (after long illness) not a hope in hell £16k for a new bike, the bike industry is definitely on a decline in the UK, the born again money to burn bikers are killing the industry, there are no up and coming bikers to replace them once the arthritis takes over, it used to be a cheaper alternative to a car, the whole industry has gotten gready, that everything from clothing to bolt on goodies, completely out of the normal man in the streets reach...
Awesome video man!
Big turbo and straight to the drag strip
Love this new Busa. And typical Suzuki, even choosing some analogue dials in 2021, which I think look great. Great to see this icon live on.
Great review. Thanks.
What runway is that? Noticed you went through Great Casterton, just down the road from me.
Awesome helmet design, 10/10. Great video as usual👊👍👍🍾
Thanks Erik 👊🏼
Given your smooth getaways, the clutch is clearly a massive improvement over the previous grabby bastard.
The ECU for the gen 3 Busa was cracked a few months back, and it seems that this motor was quite restricted to the tune of 14 hp gains throughout the powerband over stock. The speed limiter is also removed but I havent seen what speeds the reflashed ECU gen 3 gives in top gear but it must be approaching 200 mph. The tuner I get this info from is Moore "Mafia" tuning in South Carolina USA
Great job Statham 👌🏻
Is Bruntingthorpe still open for testing? That should be long enough for a proper top speed run...
Proper review,proper bike....still the best👌🏻
Absolute mad machine 💟
Regarding IUSA market Suzuki selling Gen 2 Busa until end of 2021, perhaps even more important (or depressing if in UK ) is that Suzuki is still selling the GSX-R 750 in U.S. for low low notsolow price of $12,599 in 2022.
7:15 Did you refer to the US as the septic tank? That's hilarious XD Guess that makes me a floater.
Septic tank - Yank
@@Sparkadian Thanks mate!
Great vid of the top of a gas tank.
Geeez
Lol “the septic tank loves the busa” now I feel bad looking at mine in my garage
Was waiting on this for a while after I seen peaks of it on another channel
Where's the link for the technical video?
Excellent review 👍🏼
Another great video, thank you gents. Are you still going to do your Monday shows on stereo?
Yes, soon as we get through the backlog of content!
@@FortyFourTeeth ok mate thank you
Think the 2021 busa in silver does look a sweet bike.
I can’t wait for someone to turbocharge one of these. I know it’s gonna be stupid fast and the wheely control is going to make it insane.
I miss the big Kawasaki 14R. It was a joy to ride and I regret never pulling the trigger and actually owning one. Yes, the 'Busa has better aero but it hurts my eyes to look at it.
Ultimately I am still alive to write this because I never owned either of those bikes.
The top end power may feel like it drops off, and that's because it actually does. Remember all the new bikes are neutered from the factory. I can't wait to see what this does with a good pipe and a derestricted tune
No. Thats because its got slower cams, smaller throttle bodies and three cats to deal with.
Cats are in the cans aswell so if a copper sees this with a pipe on it you're getting done.
It says a lot when you feel more excitement in Al’s voice when he’s riding the Honda gold wing then this... thing. To me this new bike is... well, boring while I still remember the first time I’ve seen the original busa. It was abs still looks amazing. You cannot beat the legend.
I had a 04 zx10r track bike and in my group was a busa at pukekohe nz race track my god on the straight you could hear the busa shread rubber and leave me for dead......until the corners and s bends where it catch up over take then came the straight bye bye.....jesus they are quick
Should go to Ellington near York old airstrip much longer.
*Elvington and yes, I agree. Or Bruntingthorpe or any of the other long ones. Suzuki obviously chose this for a reason. A missing ~10hp might well be that reason.
What do u mean its unrivalled? The zx14r is still around and its a hp king
Looks like the same brake reservoir as my 1985 GSXR750
Awesome work sir! 💪
Thank the lord you have the integrity to say the top end is flat as a witches'. Every other review has skirted around it and made excuses like "when do you use that much anyway?" but you came out honest as the day is long.
Absolutely top marks for that one. Much appreciated.
I agree with the general sentiment too. I never said it was necessarily a worse bike - just that I don't agree with them lopping its nuts off, adding an electronics pack then sticking over £4k on the price.
As you said - when the gen 1 came out it was the straight line king by a mile.
They had the chance to do that again now with boost but decided they didn't need to to keep selling bikes.
They could have used the GSXR's VVT system and at least kept the top end - probably gained a few ponies - but decided they didn't need to.
This really is an EU5 conversion and new frock on the old bike just so they can keep milking it even longer.
The styling is better, I presume the extra bar height is better and if you need electronics on a bike like this its better.
Watching it struggle up the top end like that makes me think the gen 2 is probably faster. This has more front weight and better tyres than the gen 2 did so its going to launch harder but you can see it not wanting to go up top - probably why they chose the shortest runway they could get.
Stick this on Bruntingthorpe against a gen 2 with some modern rubber and I'd wager a pint the gen 2 will hit a higher speed. Infact I would say a gen 1 would give it a very close run for the money too.
Yayyyy new episode!!!
Most of these bikes will be sold in Florida to.........you guessed it!
Now is the time to bring an ultimate "BLACKBIRD XX" by Honda. Maybe, they kept a secret ❗🤩👌
please no :D as a Bird owner, I wouldn't like to see them resurrecting that name, better let it rest.
My 1999 Blackbird was the best bike I’ve owned, always regretted selling it.
@@fulltopmax1 I would be fine with it as long as it really was one and not some cynical marketing heap.
I quite like the looks. It's not something that appeals to me because it's a strange one but it's got great heritage.
YASSSSS! When you boys back on Stereo? Makes my long drives bearable 😂
Very soon. Things are a little manic here!
@@FortyFourTeeth can only be a good thing 👌 we love what you’re doing boyos!
5 out of 5, truly a great review 👍
And what will it be like once the euro 5 choke hold is removed???
I just love Annalong clocks
I don't understand the reason for the new Busa. The original was the baddest on the block, at least until the ZX-14 (ZZR-1400) came along. The gen 2 never caught up with the gen 2 ZX. With the gen 3 I was hoping it would retake the crown but they never even tried. The stronger internals probably mean that it will take more boost if you want to go in that direction but otherwise what's the point?
I bet a reflash of the ecu will bring it to life at the top end. It’s amazing how many now have the throttle practically shut in the last 2-3k rpm
Its got slower cams and smaller throttle bodies than the old one. I bet you will need more than a flash to get that back. Especially with three cats.
Yep with all kinds of crap stuffed in the air box and nine cats in the exhaust
Septic tanks.......love it Nige 🤣
That was as good as the Ducati MotoGP launch at Doha!!
It looks so much better
The "septic tanks" love the busa. I don't get the reference?
Yanks
How comes manufactures use Brembo etc instead of doing them themselves? Sorry if silly question just always wondered
Cost vs quality. Brembo can make one set of brakes very well then sell them to makers and have them on a lot of bikes. If makers wanted to do the same that design cost would only be shared over their own bikes so it would work out as more per bike. Same goes for a lot of parts shared bits like Bosch electronics, Ohlins suspension and so on.
I’ve never personally liked the Hayabusa but I’m ngl, I kinda like this one!
Ride one, they are comfy and loads of fun! 👌
Donno what to say..... U are one great reviewer bro.😀👍
Almost expected to see you overtake TMF in his plane as you launched down the runway....
How fast does it go mister?
It's coming to the US as a '22 model, I'd guess because we still had gen2 as '21's.
Exactly that 👍🏽
USA didn't get a 2021, 2020 was the last year
