- Hey guys, I explain 3 great reasons why the Hayabusa makes for a good daily driver, every day use motorcycle. I really enjoyed making this video, one of my favs so far! I hope you enjoy it as well!
I've been a huge fan of the Hayabusa since I was a kid. 20 years later, I'm finally getting one. So stoked!
That's so awesome man! A dream come true finally. Good for you man 🙌🙌 enjoy it and always ride safe!
congratulations...
Congratulations!
How is the 'Busa going? What gen did you get?
I wasn't. Only the "legend" behind it and the engine. Design wise I never liked it, however with the third generation, I fell in love with it and ordered a thundergray one
Been driving my Busa to work for 15 years. Best part of my day.
Nice man! That's amazing 💪 💪
I'm happy to hear that!
And the 4th reason is you can park it in your living room as a piece of art.. certainly a conversation piece too! 👍
Yessir! 🤙🤙
No not the best country in the world bro
@@FTW523.yes it is bro
At least a busa is more reliable than the other living room art ie OCC trash.
THE most versatile bike ever made, that's about the only reason needed to me.😮
Yessir 😜🙌🙌
Unnecessarily fast, stupidly powerful, and there are for more versatile machines out there. I've just bought my 6th (a Gen 3)
Save some for the rest of us 😂😂😂😂
2014 hayabusa . I first saw this beauty in 2000 and I promise that one day I will have a motorcycle like that. I finaly got it and love it
Nice man! Congrats 🙌 That's a great feeling 💪💪
I bought a 2023 couple months ago, my 28th motorcycle, and it has to be my best bike ever, or at least in the top two. I’ll be 3/4 of a century years old this month. I’m planning on keeping this bike. I’m sure it won’t be my last bike, I have 3 bikes. Sold my 2022 ZX10-R.
Wow, very interesting and happy to hear the Busa is on your top favs! Also happy birthday 🎂
I'm a bit more than 1/3 of a century years old and I believe I'm at bike #15.
What's 1
I rode mine daily for years. They work great for general transportation. They have plenty of torque right off idle, the wide-ratio transmission has a lower first gear than an open class supersport, the engine is very docile, they get good fuel mileage, they're smooth, and even comfortable two-up.
Very well described my friend! I wish I described it exactly just like you did. Thank you for the comment 🙌
@@MototalkUSA Thanks. I used mine for everything from getting my motorcycle endorsement, to earning my expert road racing license. My wife and I did a 2,000 mile weekend on it two-up with a week's worth of camping gear, for our honeymoon to Laguna Seca. She slept on the back.
@@DortonFarb wow, that's so cool! And congrats! You guys are badass 😊
@MototalkUSA Thanks. There's little odds and ends that I'm remembering, now that you've got me thinking on this subject. The Hayabusa hasn't changed a lot in 25 years. GSX-R foot pegs from that era are a straight swap for the rubber-covered monstrosities the Hayabusa comes with. They allow much better feel for what the rear tire is doing, as well as offering better cornering clearance. I went one step further and ground down the peg feeler boss on the bottom of the outer tip on each one, flush with the angled contour of the rest of the tip. I think I also clearanced the side stand pivot to fold tighter, ground the sidestand tip where it sticks out, and shortened the tip of the rear brake lever- I don't use the rear brake while in motion. With the giant stock exhaust cans out of the way, the cornering clearance was only limited by the fairing "bulge" on the right and the stator cover on the left.
"Some people are dopey to me, and I'm dopey to some other people " that's about right. Lol it's a beautiful motorcycle, my best friend had one, and parked in in his living room, it was like a piece of art.
I guess everyone is dopey 😆
Thank you man, it really is a nice bike 👌
Just saying I’ve done 36,000 km in 1 summer with a Ninja 750 1987 in 1990, I’m from the east coast Canada, precisely
Montréal Quebec and I went down the states, and stayed in Malibu California for 3 months and took the grand tours sight seeing the Grand Canyon and the whole Yellowstone park, without forgetting Mount Rushmore and many other place. ..,,,,, what a summer 😍😍👍
Wow, that's so awesome man! What an experience and enjoyment it must've been huh? I would like to do something similar 😊
Absolutely. I ride a Gen 3. It's my only bike. We commute, go on tours, carry pillion, you name it. Fantastic bike that's surprisingly easy to live with but a real gem in the twisties.
Nice man! Glad to hear you're getting the most out of your Gen 3 💪💪
Rode mine as my main commuter for years. Has over 70K miles on it. Sometimes I got caught in a surprise storm so bad I was talking to my bike telling it to get me home, and this bike did that every time. Not a good bike for a beginner though, since many have asked. More skill and discipline is needed. It is surprisingly gentle and forgiving to a point, and then that point falls off like a cliff. Ride safely.
Very well said my friend and much respect for the mileage you put on it and the storm rides 💪
Love how no matter where we live, once one visits the dentist, we always stop of for a bite to eat on the way home hahahahaha
It’s like taking the long way home after your car / bike passes the MOT hahahaha
Hahahahahaha yeah man, that's an international form of celebration after the dentist 🤣🤣 haha that's so funny, never thought of it that way ✌️
I just picked up a super low mileage 2019 and am loving it so far. I use it as a commuter as well.....I added a pair of M4 retro slip-ons and had Moore Mafia tune the ECU as well..super fun!!!! Thanks for the vid.......that was fun!
Congrats man, that's awesome!
I was going to get a 2019 as well, a new one and it was black with grey wheels, really nice but the dealer there was rude and etc so I went to another place and got this 2020 for 1k cheaper and he had it ready in 2 hours!
Enjoy it man, I bet those mods made a good difference 💪💪
Thank you for the nice comment and you're very welcome for the vid! I'm happy you liked it, it was very enjoyable making this one!
I've loved Busas all my life. I have one more year until I hit college, and the first thing i'm doing is investing some of the money I earn into a busa. It'll be my first bike, but i'm sure to be safe not stupid starting out and i have some experience so i'll last with my bike in the long run.
Sounds like a plan man! I wish you the best but like you said, be safe. It's a very powerful and heavy bike.
Watching this video again before I pick mine up next weekend. Equal parts nervousness and excitement. Thanks for the motivation. Your videos on the Hayabusa are some of the best I can find. Hope you keep making them.
Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you like my vids 🙌
Congrats on your Hayabusa too and enjoy! 😉
@@MototalkUSA Haha thanks. I was editing the comment and didn’t even realize you replied. I’m hoping to daily mine as well. 👊🏼 Been missing my wheels more than I realized.
@@ZAIBYR haha,
cool! I think you'll love using it everyday 💪
I daily a gen 1. She has a topbox and a tankbag. I can go for groceries or for sick backroad fun. She does it all.
Very nice man! That's awesome 💪💪 I've got got a top case too for longer trips 😉😉
@@MototalkUSA Great ma dude. Next week due to work relocating I'll have to ride my whole country through and through (Spain) in the space of one and a half days. I'm looking forward to it!
@@LINKchris87 wow, that's so cool man! 😎 Enjoy the ride! I would like to do that here in the U.S one day 😊
@@MototalkUSA Traversing the whole US would be an at least one or two week task. A grueling ride. I hope I'll get to ride the States someday. You guys have an amazing looking country!
@@LINKchris87 yes and could take even more time if checking out every state one by one. Each one has a story and something that it's famous for. It truly is an amazing country, you can go from one coast to the other and in-between the mountains and the desert and different climates 👌
Ride of a lifetime!
My hips couldn’t take riding anymore. Sucks getting old. Busa was always my favorite bike. 1397 old school all the way baby
I am on my second gen2 Busa, Z model 2015 blue. AMAZING MOTORCYCLE!
Sorted my suspension on sporty side, absolutely fantastic on the twistys.
ENJOY! 🇬🇧🏴👍
Nice with the Z model !! 👍👍
Yes, it truly is an amazing motorcycle. This bike is appreciated worldwide 💪
Best HAYABUSA video for me! Thx for sharing bro!
Woo hoo 🙌 thank you for the comment man! You're very welcome and welcome to the channel 😉
1000km a week on my Gen 1, commuting to work - 50,000km a year for two years.
Monthly oil change at 4000km. Stripped every weekend as a lot of riding was in the rain. Bulletproof.
Wow man, that's truly impressive! You put that thing to the test and it took it like nothing. I can't get enough of how dependable and reliable this bike is. Way to go man 💪🙌🙌
I have a 2005 Hayabusa and it’s been my daily commuter and everything else since I bought it in ‘05.
Nice man! That's amazing!! 💪💪
I have a bantit 1250 and a S1000RR. I often thought over the years of getting a Busa. Either my friends talk me out of it or life issues hold me back. I love the unique look they have ever since they came out. Everyone knows a Hyabusa!
Absolutely man, it's one of the most iconic and known motorcycles on the planet. If you feel like you can swing it, go for it! 😜
@MototalkUSA it sucks something always happens. I'm freshly out of a divorce. I had to get rid of my 600RR and lucky I was able to keep any bikes. I'd have to sell both of them and I can't part with the BMW. It's a dream for now. Thanks brother. 👍
Yo hey now great video I have a 2000 with only 14000 miles I'm 59 years old live in the desert can't ride in the summer but I love it have a DR650 too
Thanks man! Nice, I would like to try it in the desert l, just keep it open maxed out for a few minutes! Nice with the DR650 too, cool bike and bulletproof 👌
Amazing ! Now I am considering Hayabusa as my next bike and daily ride too ❤
I think you'll be happy with it! This bike is a living legend ☺️
I daily my Busa.
The only thing that sucks is the squareing off of the rear rubber from upright riding and torque.
Also during summer, this thing puts out a ton of heat.
Yeah, it does chew up the tire if it's ridden a little aggressive but it's power house 😂 we can't help it!
Regarding your comment on heat, do you still have the catalytic converter installed? I hear going with a cat-delete and full exhaust from one of the associated manufacturers might cool the engine down a bit.
@@dakotaburns7551 Yes, I still have the cat and correct, if you remove it, It'll be cooler because the cat can reach up to 1200F degrees.
But honestly even now I don't really have any issue with heat. The cooling system and the fans handle it pretty good, actually the best from all the bikes I had previously.
@@dakotaburns7551 does de-cat make the fuel consumption worse?
@@DersNoNem I have an 02 with full yoshi and power commander with a tune . it gets 43mph riding gentle cruising..( but I’m not sure if gen 1’s even had a cat system, maybe only newer bikes)
That's the reason why I refused to buy the MV Agusta because of any reliability issues that may arise while using it as a daily bike; even the 2023 models !!
@@markettradinggeniusYou're Totally right man!
Finally, a guy that knows how to ride a 'busa. Yeah I ride in Mexico when I'm out on my Gsxr thou! Getting a 'busa next.
Thanks for the comment brotha!! I love it ☺️🙌
Enjoy your GSX-R and hopefully the Busa next! 😉😉
@@MototalkUSA Going for a '14 or '15. I reckon best bang for buck. All the best and safe fast rides! 👍👍👍👍
@@royevans4581 very nice! Go for it man and many thanks, will do 👍👍
For all you Busa lovers I'm buying from a customer of mine an 05 Busa with 100,000 miles for cheap the guy had the shop go through the bike and they said this thing is perfect it's all highway miles and he never beat on it he's an older guy and now he has one of the newer Busa's 👍🏿😅
Nice man and congrats! Enjoy 💪💪
This bike is my absolute favorite. Will try to get one next year. Good to see a see tees youtuber lets goooo that highway sucks 😂 especially that section
Yeah, It's a nice bike man! Hopefully you'll get one soon too! 💪
I daily ride my 2018 Hayabusa as well. I love it. It's very comfortable.
Awesome dude 🙌
Comfortable and powerful! 😉
@@MototalkUSA very comfortable and very powerful.
I'm a good fan of the Busa's , I had an 2006 and enjoyed it a lot but the weight of it was too much I'm 130 lbs 5'7 and had a hard time turning it around. But they're are awesome bike! Now I have an 2008 CBR 1000RR and love it and it's perfect for me.
Nice man, hey whatever works for you man and I appreciate you like the Busa too 🙌
gen II and Gen III are..or at least feel much lighter
@@atillaadn yes sir! I can definitely speak for the Gen 2, even though it's heavy they did a good job keeping the weight on the bottom.
Damn that busa colour looks sick nice content keep it up bro
Thank you man! The color looks even wayyy better in person 👌
The color of your bike is amazing!!
Thanks man! It really is, specially when the sun hits 👌👌
I have a 99 and a 06 I mainly ride in Longisland I have trailered one to port Charlotte Florida and then I rode across alligator alley to key west one of the best rides ever six hours one way looking forward to doing it again
Wow man! That's so awesome! Way to go with 2 Busas too! 💪💪
Nice, thought I was the only one to wheelie a busa. Never seen anyone else do it, they are all to scared lol. All my friends love seeing that b/c it's such a big bike.
Yup! Exactly man! The thing looks like a jumbo jet taking off 😆
Let me ask you this, many times, specially when the tire is cold it doesn't hook up to do a wheelie, it just spins the tire like nothing. Do you experience this too?
Your mileage is insane!!!! Keep going brother!!!
@@michaeljkasnter hahaha, thank you bro! 😉🙌🙌
Awesome video bro, and yes hayabusa is the best, I have owned multiple street bikes ranging from 600s to 1000 but nothing is as comfortable as busa. I Wish it to be bit lighter so I can maneuver it more aggressively. Also bro do recommend some good tires, as you have been through some sets of tires let us know your thought of what tires you found best for hayabusa:)
Thank you bro!! I'm happy you liked it!
Me too, I wish it was lighter but on the other hand like I mentioned it's prob better that way for more high speed stability and wind deflection, because this is also a touring bike that comes helpful in many situations.
The stock Battlax tires weren't that great. Later I used the Battlax s22 and I saw a difference, more grip and even more noticeable in cold weather, but as time goes by I'll be experimenting with other brands too! 😉
Dunlop Roadsmart IV go great too.
Michelin road 5 or 6 gt
I took the junk junk off at 500 miles and put Diablo Rosso Corsa 2s and they can't be beat. The Busa feels 60 Lbs lighter! I put Pirelli Angles on my son's because he is a bit more millage minded.
Respect from Australia 🇦🇺 Bro looking at purchasing a gen1 this year…
Hello Australia! Thanks man! Wish you the best with the gen 1 🙌🙌
I love my Busa, I had been riding them for a while and finally got my own and couldn't be more happy, got an 18 with 1400 miles
Nice man! Congrats, you got the white red or black with red?
Love the color, and it has one of the best motors.👍
@@cuttirow yeah man! Totally 💪💪
Love this Hayabusa, it's breathtaking and i also love the Yamaha FJR1300.
Thanks man! It's a stunning bike 💪
I had an o2 many years ago am I put 75,000 miles on it. I changed the tires, oils and slave cylinder on a regular basis. It was a blast and I do miss the Hayabusa After test riding a knew version a week ago. I will look into another one next. Once I free up some cash.
Nice man! Happy to hear your bike was so reliable just with regular maintenance 💪
Hope all goes well when you pick up your next Busa!
I have a 2003 Gsx R750 that I Love but if I ever get another bike it will be a Hayabusa for sure!
A man with a plan! 🙌
Nice, I believe you'll love the upgrade!
I enjoy watching your videos. I am looking forward to buying a brand-new Hayabusa this year.
Thank you so much for your comment man and I'm very happy to hear you enjoy my videos!
I wish you the best getting your new Hayabusa! 🙌🙌
@@MototalkUSA Thank you!
You are very entertaining I enjoyed watching your video!
Thank you so much man! Welcome to the channel 🙌
Good video; beautiful bike!! Have been considering Hayabusa as my next bike, but .. 2 days after getting a speeding ticket for riding my 870 lb Indian past an un-marked SHP (69 in a 45), and got a ticket, makes me second guess that Hayabusa interest cause … need for speed = “usually” .. (mostly a smart need for speed but - my stupid got me in trouble.)
Thanks man! It is a beauty indeed!
I had an R6 many years ago and got into very very big trouble. But it didn't stop me, it really sucked and it was hard times but it made me more cautious and sharp. Even people with cars get tickets all the time.
I just follow my instincts and keep an eye out as much as I can. I also don't want to be a bad influence and I'm sure you'll do whatever is best for you and I wish you the best of luck man, whatever you choose 🙌💪
The Hayabusa is my dream bike. I’m getting one on my birthday. Currently have a 2022 Harley Davidson Pan America Special.
Cool man! I think you'll love the Busa! 💪
Nice with the Pan America! That's a nice bike as well 👌
Congrats on getting a Hayabusa as your first motorcycle. I would recommend learning how to ride also.
@@YernBelfus I currently ride a 2022 Harley Davidson Pan America Special. The Hayabusa is my dream bike.
@jhonnydumeny9816 My background includes being an expert-licensed motorcycle road racer and motorcycle road racing instructor, so I am very particular about the use of words like "ride" and "rider". I actually earned my expert road racing license on my Hayabusa. It's okay to say that you OWN a Harley-Davidson, but unless and until you have successfully completed formal rider training beyond the MSF Basic Rider Course and/or have an objectively quantifiable riding skill level that qualifies you to accurately describe yourself as a "rider", I would recommend not using those words to describe what you do on motorcycles.
@@YernBelfus Sir, I’m happy for all of your certifications and such. I started riding dirt bikes at the age of 12. Did my MSF at Fort Dix while in the Army. I have my M endorsement on my license. I’m a rider like I previously stated!! Not need to Gate Keep, sir!
Enjoyed the video. Your right brother, gotta escape. Enjoy that lane filtering, illegal or not, its our joy as bikers. Anyone who gets mad should put their steering wheel in front of their chest to get a feel for the comfort, get rid of the AC and put the engine close to get a feel for the heat, etc etc. Was wondering if you've ever rode any other 1000cc motorcycles and how they compare in comfort to the busa? Also, whats ur height/weight? that affects comfort a ton.
I'm happy you liked the video bro! 🤟🤟
I know we go through a lot when riding in heavy traffic 😅
I had a 2002 and 2006 GSX-R 1000's and they weren't pleasant with stop and go. If it's for a couple minutes it's livable but for me every day for 2 hours was uncomfortable 😅
I lowered the Busa 3/4 inch and installed a handle bar riser and made a huge difference. I'm 5 6" and I can flat foot both sides 💪
Im from Netherlands. Lane filter is legal here.
Almost bought a new busa but after sitting on it and looking at the price the dealer showed me a zx14r which I never even considered since I’ve been a Suzuki guy since I started riding streetbikes back in 1991. Tossed a leg over the zx14r, checked the price and a few days later when it wasn’t raining I rode the zx14r home.
Nice man! Congrats! That's a nice bike too. Is it the anniversary edition with the green wheels?
am now calling hayabusa, the hayabushka😂. great video! ❤
Hahaha 🤣🤣
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
Granny busa? Does it demand to feed EVERYONE it meets?
That was a nice ride man! Loved it. Playtime to work and back home 😋😅
Right on brother! That's exactly what it was! Very well Said 🙌🙌👍
the Busa and the zx14 are my dream bikes! Congrats pal!
Many thanks brotha! ✌️🙌
I did consider both the Busa and the zx14, but the Busa does it for me. However both machines are amazing 👌
I hope you get one of them some day, or even both! 😉
@@MototalkUSA I'm working on it 😂🔥! Please drive as smarter as you can mate! A lot of dumb people out there!! Definitely subscribed!
@@optimuspower9716 very nice man! I wish ya the best 💪
Tell me about it man, it is a jungle out there 😅
Thanks for the Sub too! It really helps 🙌🙌
Nice riding and vid bro!!!
Coming from 8 different Harleys and a Big Bear chopper in the past 12 years. I can’t wait to put money down for a 25th anniversary Busa next week. Going for the burnt orange one. I got quoted for 22.5k(ouch)
Thanks man! And congrats on your 25th! Nice color 👌
Yeah it's crazy how bikes are so expensive now, just like everything else.
@@Nabsolute_ do it up man 😉
I cant believe a busa is 22k dollars now. I paid 11,500 for a 2007 model brand new
I got my second 2002 hayabusa for almost 2 years now. Let me tell you, there must be some kind of magic happening between the first and second generation. My first gen's are both unreliable in the sense of they start everyday, but make expensive noises and are in workshops 30% of the year. The breaks on the first gen are awful too. But performance, low end grunt and the general ride quality are all perfect.
Yeah there's a big improvement on the brakes with the 2nd Gen Busa 2013 and later, they have monoblock Brembo calipers in the front and do a fantastic job.
What kind of repairs have you done on your Gen 1 busas? Maybe they weren't taken care of from the previous owner? Also what are the mileages they have?
I'm learning to ride my bicicle. I still got the side wheels in it. I'm gonna buy one hayabusa as my first motorbike.
@@Tiagotaf 🤣🤣
Totally agree. I'm an all weather busa rider
Cool man! Glad to hear you're in the club 😉
I had a 2007 Hayabusa gsx1300 r had it for 14 years
Very cool, I'm assuming you really liked for having it that long 😉
You can daily anything if you can afford it. I never understood people that buy bikes and cars and then store them in garages most of the time.
You pass to the next dimension and it’s owe, he left a pristine motorcycle behind. Barely road it. He had a nice Viper, barely drove it though.
I have 3 co-workers. One daily rides an Aprilia 1000cc, one a Corvette and one a Charger Hellcat.
I laugh sometimes, rain or snow that Hellcat is parked outside the office.
But I get it, his dream car is the Hellcat and he’s going to drive it into the ground by time he’s done with it. He’s in his 50’s, what is he saving it for? When he’s in his 60’s?
Exactly man! Better to enjoy it yourself and loose some money when you sell it, rather save it for some one else to enjoy it. I use the crap out of whatever I get 😜
A hellcat in the snow, that's interesting and God bless him man. He's enjoying that bad boy 😉
@@MototalkUSA I don’t get it, I have a 5.0 Mustang with half the horsepower and I have a death grip on the steering wheel when in snow.
He just laughs it off and says he manages. But it’s usually an inch or 2 and maybe half and inch or less sticks. So I guess it ain’t too bad.
This bike Is simply stunning ❣️
Yes it is man! 🙌 Thanks 👍👍
You're cracking me up. Take it easy with those "refreshing" moments, hombre!!😂
Edit: looking great out there in Pakistan.. but probably californistan like me
Hahaha 🤣🤣
Thanks man 🙌
I used to commute on a GSX750R and 1000R, loved the nimbleness and zip, but constantly frustrated the the traffic was too heavy to ever really open them up. I can see you get a bit of semi-open highway space.
Nice man, yes definitely an open highway is the way to go with these bikes. That's where they really shine 😉
Cool video , nice bike..you're commentary makes the vid better
Thanks you so much man! ☺️☺️
Good video man
Hello from UK
Yh my next one uo will be hayabushka
So far only gsxr 750 got exchanged for gsxr 1000 still ok but 1.3 sounds even better
Hello UK! Thank you 🙌
Nice man, seems like you're working your way up on CC's 😜 Hayabushka next it is! It's a big 1300 GSX-R!
I think its a beautiful and perfect bike. I ride a 99 VFR, same idea only not as big.
@@nonyabusiness4151 Nice man! That's a pretty cool bike too! Happy to hear it serves you as well 😉
1 inch handle bar risers on my 2022zx14r and it's good to daily 😅 still want me a busa, they look cool 😎
I know man, what a difference only 1" can make huh? 😜
Nice with the kawi 14! I agree the Busa does look cool that's why I went with it but the 14 is pretty nice too and not as common 😉
@@MototalkUSA heck yea lol
i did have a 1200cc Buell as a first bike (a lifetime ago) & Harley wound up buying it back.. picked up my first busa & never bought another; i'm on my 3rd now.. i'm 6'5" & can sit up on it straight or lay down & beat it.. love emm
the weight & stance are perfect to me; there's sum about breaking 220 ona paperweight! Luv the way i can lay these low into turns too.. anything 1000cc or better comes down to the rider & power management; 2nd to none, far as I'm concerned (also i just look silly on 1000).. btw, them stock tires needs to be burned off & upgraded anyway, so no worries..
Nice man! 💪 That's what I'm talking about, way to go!
thank u bro! much luv & respect..@@MototalkUSA
Greetings from Poland , cool story.
I have such a motorcycle in the version without ABS 2008.
Hello Poland!!!! 🙌Thanks for the nice comment! Enjoy your 08 Busa! Less weight on that because there's no ABS pump 😉😉
ironically as a beginner-ish rider whos done only about 6k miles since june of 23 on my z400. I'm heavily considering a hayabusa in the next couple years. obviously its a lot of power. and i really wish the still made the 2cd gen katana style bike with fuel injection and around 100-130 horsepower since they where similar in the sport touring aspect. But trying out slightly lowered hayabusa felt so good between the legs for me at 5'4. and despite the curb weight these bikes feel very light between the legs.
Very well said my friend! Get some flight hours and then move to a more powerful bike. Totally agree with the weight too, the only time it feels heavy is when I move it around in the garage, other than that really manageable and I'm 5'6.
@MototalkUSA thank you bro. Loving the videos!
@@county_bear9509 many thanks man! 🙌🙌
It’s a very good bike I had mine for nearly 3 years
However I replaced it with a zzr 1400 that really is vastly superior
It’s a big difference
@@timmytackle9181 Nice! Somebody else mentioned this here too. What makes the 1400 superior? I never rode one before but I'm eager to know ☺️
@@MototalkUSA smoothness and a feeling of solidness and quality , the weight feels lower down in the chassis and the bike feels more agile!
You can put it in sixth gear and use it as a automatic if you want to and never has the saying drop a gear and disappear been more accurate
The whole feeling of quality is there and I’ve no doubt it’s capable of incredible mileage
The busa is a super bike the z is a hyper bike !
@@timmytackle9181 very interesting my friend and thank you for the response! I wouldn't mind getting one too one day if that's the case 😉
It’s a fantastic bike, comfortable, reliable, really fast and still beautiful after all these years. For some strange reason the rear tyre seems to disappear quite rapidly. Maybe I should try another brand.
Totally spot on with everything you said. The poor rear tire goes through a lot on the Busa 😆 too much power and weight.
Great Video Bro keep u the good work I commute about the same to and from work as u would definitely enjoy riding a Busa 2 and from work…
Glad you like it man! Thank you 🙌🙌
@@MototalkUSA u welcome…
I commute with my 2009. Approx. 140 mls. from Manteca California to Mountain view. I agree
Wow, that's quite some distance but for me you got the perfect machine to do that. 🙌🙌
Busa power! 💪
Like the way you check your blind spot. Pensioner who rides a Hayabusa but not like a Pensioner. Almost 76.
Thank you sir and wow! I want to be like you when I'm a pensioner💪
Great video. Good explanation throughout
Thanks for the great comment man! 🙌🙌
I agree completely! I call it the Dr Jeckel, Mr Hyde of motorcycles! You can just simply cruise around tame as you want, but when you want a nuclear weapon, it's a willing participant!!
Hahahaha very well said my friend! 😆😜
These machines are ridiculously fast, stupidly powerful, and there are far more versatile machines out there. I'm on my 6th.....a 2023 Gen 3. Stunning machines.
Wow man, you're on your 6th one? Lucky you! You definitely know what this machine is about then 💪
Amusing commentary as well, glad I went for the ride with you.
Thank you sir! Glad you liked it ☺️
Head turner and a beautiful conversation bike for a 🍻 day.
Absolutely my friend! 😉
mine is 2007, I love it everyday, perfect bike with poor brakes but it's a virtue.
Nice man! Yeah the Gen 2, 2013 and after have Brembo brakes and feel pretty good.
You're a funny guy😂 Great review. Love Hyabusa's
Hahaha thanks man! 🙏☺️☺️
Some engine oils clunk into 1st or have difficulty shifting and finding neutral. Try Motul 7100 and the shifting is smoother than Mobil 4T.
I don't have this issue with the Busa, it's the Liter bikes that clunk into 1st gear but yes I'm sure some oils will clunk less than others.
I use Motul 300V on the Busa and so far so good.
You are a very good rider Sir! 👍
Lovely bike. Shame about all of that traffic, although you handled it beautifully. 👌
Amazing that is Pakistan, whilst watching i presumed you were commuting in USA!
All the best 😊
Many thanks man! 🙌
I know, that traffic is crazy. Maybe it wasn't really in Pakistan 🤭
@@MototalkUSA Lol, Pakistan was a joke? 🤣
@@glynhannaford7332 yup 😜😜
@@MototalkUSA 🤣🤣🤣
@MototalkUSA If you don't mind me asking, what's the make and model of your helmet in this video, and is that visor standard?
All the best bud 👍
I drove my 2000 Busa as my daily driver until 2007 & put 78,000 miles on it & never had a problem one!! I'm now putting miles on my 04😂 I'm 70😂
That's what I'm talking about! Way to go 💪💪
Truly impressive.
Motorcycles terrify me but if I were ever to get one, this would be it.
If they terrify you this is definitely not the one. You got to start small and work your way up! 😉 Won't be as terrifying after that.
Άργησε λίγο,αλλά έσκασε βιντεαρα,you rule bro!να είσαι καλά συνέχισε έτσι!!
😊😊 ευχαριστώ πολύ! Να'σαι καλά 💪
I thinking of getting one 😮 like it as bulletproof
It's definitely bulletproof man, it'll last you a long long time 😉
Love the wheelies !
@@blitzer-ln2nc thanks man! ☺️
I had the chance twice to get a Busa so far, but first, I ended up with my dream bike, a Super Tenere, second time, with an FJR1300... SHAFT DRIVE!!! I cannot make myself to deal with the chain again... I too use the bikes to commute to work, only 20-30mins rides.
I just don't want to pay the extra €4-500/year to deal with the chain.
And the Kawasaki GTR1400 Concourse is fucked over 40 000miles... it develops electrical gremlins, and the front discs are undersized... this info is from my local bike dealer...
So I either get rich or will stick to my FJRs.
Happy Easter, Guys!
Whatever works best for you man. The chain isn't that bad though, I have 23K miles on the bike and still have the original chain and sprockets and they're still healthy. If you properly maintain it, oil it and keep the proper slack they last a long time. The only annoying part is to keep the wheel clean. Unfortunately not too many options for shaft driven bikes.
Happy Easter to you too! 🙌
@@MototalkUSA woooow! 23k+ miles??? This gives me hope!
How do You clean them though?
How often?
How often do You adjust the slack?
What lubricant do you recommend?
Mind you, I think the reason why my mechanic said what he said, is because we are in the Netherlands, and it rains more than shines, so that can affect things when it comes to chains.
Yeah, it's a shame that there isn't much coming up when it comes to bikes with shaft drive.
And the BMWs are just not good enough...
At some point, I might have to buy multiple FJRs to future proof myself...;))
Thanks for your reply & have fun with the bunnies!;))
@@V4zz33 yep that makes more sense now, if it rains mostly where you are the chains will need way more attention because the water washes out the oil.
I don't have a specific mileage interval, sometimes I'll lube it at 600 miles sometimes I might go 1000 miles or I might lube it a day before I wash the bike this way if that stuff flyes on the wheel I get to clean it once, or I'll even do it after I washed it, it depends the mood too ☺️
Same goes with tightening it but at more mileage intervals, when I see it starting to slack I'll take care of it and to be honest I'm not always on top of it I might postpone it for a week or two but not too too long.
Any good brand will do, I try different ones every time, right now I'm using Maxima.
I clean it with a rag, it takes time to do a good job but it looks sweet when it's done. If the face of the chain has stubborn gunk, I use tiny bit of WD -40 on the rag and it dissolves it right away, same thing with the wheel.
Maintaining a chain is Definitely extra work but it's doable.
@@MototalkUSA Thank you very much, I've saved your reply!
We were told/recommended to do the tensioning in every 500km /350miles...;))
I'd prefer doing it your way.
I totally forgot about the mess that the freshly oiled chain makes.;))
It looks great, though, when nicely oiled up!
Thank you again, for the tips and tricks!;))
Enjoy the holidays!;))
@@V4zz33 you're most welcome my friend! My pleasure and enjoy your holidays as well 🙌
I really enjoy my busa, be safe. Good content
Glad to hear so man, same to you and thank you! 🙌🙌
Buying 1 after this review
@@ultimatedijo7058 thank you for the nice comment, enjoy man! 😉
I like the busa and my experience is from a Harley Electraglide. Leaving Harley because they hate their owners. The busa weights miles less than and a FL tourer. How is this bike with taller people?
Did you wire everything direct to the battery through the right side of the bike???
Totally agree about the seat position, you can be super confortable for traffic, also because the mirrors are lower than the cars. BUT if you wanna go sporty, just lean and the Busa becomes a super sport bike than not even a real sport bike can beat.
Why would someone prefer a RR bike?? I dont find the answer 😀
The only thing I wired is the power commander and I wired it directly on the battery but on the left side.
Busa.is a very versatile motorcycle but they are at home when used as a highway mauler
... yeehar cheers
Absolutely man, very well said. Totally agree with that.
Most comfortable sport bike indeed
Absolutely man! 😉
It's a 4-cylinder so it'll definitely go up there just like a Honda 200 plus
Oh yeah,I truly believe so. Plus it's a big engine and it's not always under stress 💪
Pro tip - riding in any shoulder DRASTICALLLY increases your odds of puncturing a tire.
Definitely man, totally agree
BMW K1300S would be a very good sport touring bike in the same class with Hayabusa with almost the same dynamics but more comfortable for sure !
Yup, it's another good option, sacrifices a little of the spottiness but definitely more comfortable.
Suzuki produces very reliable bikes. My dl1000 2002 with over 140000 klm never opened the engine.
Wow man! That's so awesome! Suzuki 💪💪
i am riding a gen 1
in 15 years she has run 27000 kms
no problem at all
Damn that's a long time! Keep it up man! 💪💪
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why your Busa will not easily cover 200k miles plus. As far as the engine goes it needs clean oil & filters for longevity. As for the rest of the bike it just needs the relevant items servicing at the correct intervals. Getting in too close to bearings with a jet wash can cause water ingress and ultimately premature wear [speaking from experience]. But the heart of this bike……the engine WILL easily cover a 1/4 million miles mostly without issues. This engine is basically bullet proof which is why the engines are sort after for project vehicles and drag bikes. This very engine can take a turbo giving 350hp without modding any internals. I’ve heard of people getting even higher hp but I’m unsure if the engine internals get upgraded. The Busa is a very underestimated bike. I have taken both my previous Busa’s touring 2 up over thousands of miles with zero issues [excepting a couple of punctures]. I’m now the proud owner of a gen 3 Busa which takes the Busa to another level.
Very well said my friend! You're absolutely right, it should last for a long time 💪, I always change the oil on time and keep up with the maintenance.
350hp from stock internals is insane , makes me want to do it 😎😎
Enjoy your new Busa man! 🙌
