      Its practical use is for drag race motorcycles to prevent wheelies.
      Most people don't have tuned up drag racing Hayabusas and they put stretched swingarms cause they think it looks cool.
      This is a dumb idea because it ruins handling which doesn't matter in a drag race, but matters everywhere else.

    Bought one of these my second year of riding. No problems whatsoever. But ended up selling it the following year, because the riding position was too aggressive for long trips. Also, the engine was total overkill for the roads where I live. Hardly ever got to ride the piss out of it, which was incredibly frustrating.

    I always felt the busa was a great beginner bike for various reasons. Its not snappy like 6 or 1000. You get acquainted with the bike easier due to its weight. Plus more but after you master the busa you can ride the rest. A 1000 bike can kill you faster. A busa is like a super cruiser...

    Hayabusa was my 3rd bike. And I would say it was much more beginner friendly than my Magna or GSXR1100. I mainly used it for commuting 8 miles to work. And I learnt to be a much better rider on my Hayabusa. So beginner friendly. Yes. Crazy. Also yes. Far from being the most fun bike Ive had tho. But I would love to have one in my garage for special occasions and touring day trips.

    • @Quartolone
      @Quartolone 4 года назад +5

      @@crimsonhawk4912 it is not, unless you are really big&heavy. Problem with Hayabusa is that the error margin it's really tiny and the paycheck it's big.
      Most common issues regards original OEM brake system (for 1° gen) which ought to be updated indeed.
      A sudden break would lead to a locked front wheel and dropping the bike down. Another issue is that you may want to drive with soft suspensions but upon braking you would transfer too much weight onward lighting the rear (3/4 of the motorcycle) and thereby having the motorcycle thrashing left or right leading to a drop. Another thing is that sudden accelerations will lead to the motorcycle nearly escaping out of your hands if you are not prepared. Power it's everywhere (as video states) from 3000 to 11.000 rpms.
      Last but not least, it doesn't feel that easy to turn around at first: the bike doesn't lean easily nor will make you think it will. You will feel like trying to turn and going straight. You are enforced to use your body and/or countersteer.
      Once you get over those issues (radial brake pump, use rear brake aswell for balancing weight transfers, harden the front suspensions, use your body in the turns and so on) it becames really a funny and easy bike, but there is a paycheck for this too: every other motorcycle will feel like a bike (bycicle) and you will feel like "meh" on riding any other supersport. Riding a Ducati S4rS will feel like "meh", riding a GSXR1000 will feel like "meh" and so on, cause you will be acclimate to driving with such power at any range that you will be handling any other bike easily.

      It's the weight distribution characteristic of the Hyabusa and of that weight class of bike that make it more beginner suitable. A 1000cc or 600cc super sport or super naked have more bottom end power and much less weight and narrower tyres, making a misjudgement more likely. They are much flickier lending to overconfidence and less stable in bad weather. You can't just throw a Hyabusa about as with any heavy sports tourer

    A busa can very well be a good beginner bike. Depends on the person though. It takes disciplined people. Most are immature with that kind of power at hand. Now a key factor is if someone can handle the weight of the bike would be a difference too. My first bike was a gsxr600 and it was sweet. You don't have to go top dog for a beginner but I'd definitely suggest something they'd have more room to grow into then quickly grow out of a 200 or 300 and become board and have to sell to move up.

    A squid will be a squid. If you have no self control, can't accept that you're learning and not Valentino Rossi, then there isn't a motorcycle in the world that would be a good starter. Stay in a cage. I don't see the issue with the Hayabusa or ZX-14 as a starter bike. Even if you're a female, just so long as you can manage the weight of the bike. It all depends on where you're coming from and what your state of mind is when you get on the bike. The dozens of knobs that I see riding around on 250s with shorts, t-shirts and no gloves doing 45 in neighborhoods and pulling "dank woolies" in residential areas... man, you were asking for injury or death well before the bike became your problem. As far as I'm concerned, put them on a busa, the inevitable just happens faster and hopefully you're either out of the gene pool or at least out of my riding community.

    I learned how to ride on my '92 Nighthawk 750 (I ride a ZRX1200R now). It's definitely not a Hayabusa and it was an easy bike for sure. But it was a fast inline 4 cylinder motorcycle. But here's how I practiced with it. I only rode it around the apartment block for about 2 months until I was fully comfortable with going out on the road. Then I practiced and only rode in the back roads with minimal traffic for like 3 more months. Statistics are true, new riders get wrecked more on super sport bikes. But they're also idiots whose excitement and the impatient desire to show off that got the better of them. But I think even liter sport bikes are fine even for beginners as long as you're gentle with the clutch and throttle and you're patient with it.
    That being said, a beginner rider will drop his/her bike more than once even during this patient riding process. It would be a shame to drop a brand new, the biggest and the baddest bike. But other than that, I honestly don't think bike displacement matters in learning

      You should learn how to ride. Of the three major controls (throttle, front brake, and handlebars), the throttle is by far the LEAST powerful and the LEAST counterintuitive to learn, even on the Hayabusa. If you're having problems with the throttle, then you almost definitely don't know how to steer or brake effectively.

    Gen 2. Will become faster if you change the full exhaust system. But gen2 is the most reliable engine to mod ever. 300bhp with a turbo stage one kit and without engine internal mods shows how suzuki job is well done on the busa. As for dying.. you have the same chance dying on a 50cc as much as a turbo busa so buy whatever you want.

    Genuinely the Bandit 1200 is a very easy bike to ride for a beginner. . Heavier than the Hyabusa with less power but still very quick and weight distribution is perfect for a heavy bike. Sounds amazing as well. So much easier than my Sprint St to U turn. Very stable at high speed and in wet weather. The extra weight actually helps a beginner I feel, reigns you in a bit.. . Myself personally prefer big engine heavy faired bikes because of the stability, comfort and protection from wind. I would imagine a Hyabusa would be similar, very stable, low distributed weight. Wouldn't advise the Hyabusa for beginner bike mind but a Bandit 1200, no problems.

    I just wanna let you know, I've been watching tons of motorcycle videos (because I want to begin riding, but have a lot of concerns and curiosities) and I'm so glad I found your videos.
    What comforts me the most about your knowledge, is your faith (so I subscribe to you, brother).
    I've been looking into a hayabusa as my first because it's heavy (in case of an accident), it's a sports bike(so it does better on turns than HDs), and it has power for passing.
    Im just worried because my town in Florida is notorious for bad/old drivers and motorcycle accidents. Does riding increase your faith in God?

    Keith Code has a book and DVD called "A Twist of the Wrist" and in it, he explains how you start riding as if you have 25 cents. Everything you do, while learning to ride, costs you some cents. Learning to work the clutch = 10 cents. Learning to work the throttle = 5 cents. Learning the shifter = 5 cents. Learning to not lock up the rear brake costs 10 cents. Now learning to work the front brake = 10 cents. Learning to differentiate to not let go of the rear brake if you are skidding (no high side) and to let go of the front brake if you are skidding it = 20 cents. So, you are a beginning rider and you start off with 25 cents in your "abilities" and you have "spent" 60 cents to not crash on a fast bike. Well guess what, you crashed 35 cents ago!!!! After years of riding, each of the above "learned actions" cost you "LESS" because it becomes more ingrained in your riding memory and abilities. So, differentiating between the front brake action and rear brake action (or you buy an ABS bike) costs you 3 cents (or 0 cents on an ABS bike) instead of 20 cents as a beginner.... Great book/Video to own in your "Winter Riding Library!"
