This is the best motorcycle review in history! You are officially the FIRST AND ONLY person to ever mention the RPMS at cruising speed! 3100 rpms at 60 mph. THIS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT for people who actually want to drive the bike! THANK YOU. All motorcycle reviews need to discuss cruising RPM.
Great efforts by Team Suzuki. Busa has always been and I guess will be like that Ninja Sword transferred from generation to generation. I am glad that since 90s riders are enjoying this bike and now the gen z will also enjoy it. This shows the caliber of the company and the efforts they put in to make sure they give the riding community one of the best motorcycle to ride and brag about. 👌🏻 Looking forward to the next video Cycle World team.
Nice vid. I think too many people have wrongly dismissed this bike out of hand because the headline is that it doesn't have a bigger engine & more bhp than the gen 2, or a turbo, which was never going to happen! At face value the specs did appear a bit disappointing but that's too simplistic imo. It's not revolutionary but seems to have been beautifully refined. The reality is the engine is more powerful than the gen 2 but the Euro 5 exhaust is strangling it, which is easily fixed. I predict some big gains!
@@axelfiraxa could be they are mad they have to pay 18k to be the inferior bike and will have pay more money to reach the proper power delivery? I mean that never goes well... EVER..
Thanks so much for this spot on review! You are the fist one I've ever seen in all the videos who is positively commenting on the 'all same as before'. For me it makes also a lot of sense that Suzuki stickied to the motor layout and chassis as with the 2nd Gen for the descriped reasons. And I love the new look and all the new electronics, AND that it is and still deals like a Busa
Yeah I didn't like the look of the new Hayabusa at first. But after a few weeks of thinking about it, the 3rd Gen bike is absolutely perfect. It's a more refined version of the 3rd Gen bike with a more refined, more durable engine. They made the bike even better. It didn't need more power. Power was not the issue. People who own Hayabusa bikes don't leave the engine stock. Every Hayabusa owner modifies the bike, so they didn't change the engine. Suzuki and Harley Davidson understand what the customers want, and they are both on point right now, even if we don't understand their logic.
AS A HONDA 50cc Moped Rider- My bike insurance company Expressly ASK ME, if the little two stroke moped with the Piston the size of a 50cent Piece, HAS A TURBO CHARGER???? .... I was thinking at the time, what does this company think- I OWN A HAYABUSA...??? The question was asked so that any supercharging or turbocharging, even on a small bike, THEY would NOT COVER it... Great bike and vid. RH DSD
I absolutely agree with you so many people have gotten online and express that they wanted the faster bike a lighter bike supercharged not as other stuff the whole point is to have the same speed the same agility in the same Hayabusa genetics in a newer style bike with a lot more extra offer they trimmed it down on the body style is very beautiful and everybody's complaining I love the Hayabusa I love the new Hayabusa and if I ever get an opportunity to purchase I will I currently own a 2008 Hayabusa special edition Orange and I love it
good review 👍. mark does a good job & is down to earth. Mark if you read the comments i wish you would do more rides like the goldwing vid you guys did, that was good content/entertainment!
This was a very good first review. Well said. Like your style and attitude towards this bike. I am all bumped up now and want to go out and ride!!! Thanks. Please compare the new spec to a gen2 eu spec on the dyno and strip.
Get a bank loan. Go to your bank and simply tell them you want to buy a vehicle. You don't need to tell them what you're buying. Tell them you want to do a "personal loan." This avoids the hefty insurance premiums. Hayabusa's cost $390 per month to insure with full coverage.
@@Damiv So there are different levels of insurance. It's only about $45 a month to get minimum "liability" insurance in WA. I am assuming most states are liability only? Bank loan payment is only $150 a month! Plus $50 for insurance per month. So $200 a month. A lot better than $650 new off the show room.
@@Ritalie I can't get an unsecured loan for that much, and a secured loan would require full insurance. Maybe you have a way better credit score than me, but most unsecured loans I've seen max out at like $5k.
This bike may be stylich, technological, carrying some genetics and even fast. But it is far from claiming the throne. Hayabusa is not a fast bike only, it is the fastest. As a proud owner of a modified gen2, I would gladly crash down this pretty toy. So, what I expect from Suzuki is to announce an X or R version later. Its publicity may take place in Asia or in the US, to be able to show the real potential of the new king, aside from the so-called gentlegirl-agreement. The European version may work in the F mode only, which is harmless unless there's a way to switch to A mode. Until then the legend will stay as a legend and real fanatics of Hayabusa won't be satisfied.
I really wish they would up sell me from my ZX14R but doesn’t look like that’s happening. Kawasaki will probably never update the 14R because it’s already faster than the H2 in the quarter so Suzuki is my only hope.
Disagree completely, Hayabusa was the fastest in a quarter mile and TopSpeed , now it's even slower than 1000 class ,,, as a Hayabusa owner for 20 years I am very disappointed, I guess cycle world forgot how fast everything else is
2021 Hayabusa 0-60 in 2.79 sec and under 10 seconds quarter mile while a 2018 Panigale V4 is 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and above 10.3 seconds quarter mile. 2020 R1 is 0-60 in 3.1 and quarter mile in 10.10 seconds. I guess you forget how late torque at high rpm needed modern sportsbikes are compared to Hayabusa, ZX-14R (which still laughs at any modern leader ICE sports bike in drag race stock) 0-60 mph in 2.5 sec and quarter mile in 9.49 seconds obliterating R1M, Panigale V4S, etc in a straight line. Even a Ducati Diavel S )0-60 in 2.5 sec) ridicules modern sportsbikes in a 1/8 mile drag stock. The 2021 Hayabusa is near perfect for what it is and you can turbo it over 500hp if you want. If you want modern power than try a Lightning LS-218 or Energica Ego Plus 0-60 in 2.3 sec in a straight line they also laugh at modern leader sportsbikes.
According to Bennett channel 0-60 mph in 2.69 seconds and quarter mile in 9.89 seconds on stock road tyres for the 2021 Hayabusa better times than 99.99% of modern stock sportsbikes (Panigale V4S and Yamaha R1M included)
I understand this from video: we made slowest hayabusa however get this and tune it u have the fastest. ECU flash and Brocks Performance video needed:):)
Confusing as it is, there is no new Hayabusa for 2021 because gen 3 is not universally available everywhere yet. In a lot of countries the only Hayabusa people can get their hands for the time being are the gen 2 models, which officially stopped in 2020 but have been recycled into 2021 for sales. The gen 3, although technically released in 2021, is called a 2022 model because that where it's tracking from. Ride safe.
I just feel (because I haven't seen one on the metal) that this is more of a Gen2.5 Hayabusa, rather than a Gen3. Suzuki basically restyled it, brought it up to standard to 2021 (but without a digital dash), and let it loose. It has been 20+ years since Suzuki took a bold step forward that. really pushed the industry, rather than simply "be" and try to sell bikes... Dunno, I feel sad seeing Suzuki sitting still

That would be the 2021 Hayabusa.....launched worldwide.....in 2021. It's also available in 2021, believe it or not. Just like the one you've ridden.......in 2021.
Suzuki milking loyals with same old platform with bit tweak just like Harley been doing with its base for years. And covering up the big pile with crappy marketing and words trying to hide the fact that minimal R&D invested into it.
I can appreciate this bike as is but the GSXR line of the past 10 years bores me. Paint and styling on the GSXR line disappoints. Powers fine I am talking about looks. I loved the 1985 to 2008 .
@channelofstuff been waiting for an update from Suzuki for years, I am disappointed but that doesn’t make me a hater, Infact as one of the biggest fan of busa and having owned previous gens I was absolutely sure to get this one. If they had came out with this version 5 yrs ago sometime along with the zx14 2014 update it would have been perfect, now this is just putting lipstick on pig just because they were forced to go euro 5, they saw an opening with zx14 being discontinued, they still see a huge addicted fan base, they are like ...let’s just play these fan boys
@channelofstuff never tell someone to not buy it... ESPECIALLY THIS EARLY. What do you do when it gets discontinued 2-:3 years from now? Parts will be a bitch to get from dealers.. and aftermarket will be virtually worthless if you want to stand out.
Not quite. See the Bennetts Bike review (the one from today). Comprehensive, including acceleration numbers. Nothing lost here, and it seems quite a bit gained in polish and even durability. Not a flashy update, but very smart.
EEEFFFFF all that emissions BS, Hoyer!! Buy a full exhaust system and reflash the ECU. 200 mph if you want it. WOOOOO HHHHHH OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Stylin' and profilin'!!

Had a 2003 and a 2017. Absolutely beautiful machines in every way.
I had the 1st gen copper silver and loved and survived every moment. I want the new one, not sure I'm as able anymore, but still want it.
Why not give the new one a test ride?
I feel you
Love the styling. Miss my 2002.
If I was 30 years Younger, was 6 inches taller, and Crazy as I was in my 20's , THIS IS THE BIKE FOR ME...!!!

This bike looks cool as hell but that chrome trim on the side needs to go asap. Love the shape and love the bronze/copper and black.
as a harley technician, i kinda laughed when he said "big heavy bike, 550 lbs"
I ride on a ninja 400 and went and sat on my friend’s low rider s and that is a heavy ass bike
@@larriwithay for the size yeah. its like 700lbs. but the touring models go up to like 950 lbs
@@Jonoman777 okay but why though?
@@akilh340 because 550 is the weight of my sportster? which is basically the smallest Harley.

I am really excited to get one 🔥

Would u pick this or a ZH2 naked for all around??
Great review 👍🏻
Great video.thanks
I already preordered you know when it should be in United States 🇺🇸
Winter 2021 or early spring 2022
Its here !
Love ❤ from india
It has become a really beautiful bike.
good review 👍. mark does a good job & is down to earth. Mark if you read the comments i wish you would do more rides like the goldwing vid you guys did, that was good content/entertainment!
Those exhaust pipes are enormous! I wonder how much weight you can drop and aesthetically clean up the bike with a full titanium exhaust.
The slip-ons way about 16 lb each
This was a very good first review. Well said. Like your style and attitude towards this bike. I am all bumped up now and want to go out and ride!!! Thanks. Please compare the new spec to a gen2 eu spec on the dyno and strip.
The end pov i wish was longer
I love that Helmet.

I’d love to own one of these, it’s always been a dream bike. The insurance costs though are insane. I’d pay more in insurance than the bike payment.

I'm just wary if it has passing power for the highway
Only if you get the solar panel attachment
Do you already have the 2022 model , we have not got the 2021 gen3`s yet, is there any updates ?
Yes, we have the 2022 model. They are 2022 in the US market, not 2021.
@@MustMoto What does it say on the calendar on the wall
Allright allright, i get it, you just have these odd habits and things in US we dont always understand here at the other side of the pond
@stratgibson it's because it will arrive here later than most 2021 models (June 2021), so they have moved it to a 2022.
2022？
yes, in the US it is a 2022 model, not a 2021.
I’m thinking of getting one of these but will 550 pounds feel much more then the 490 I have now
No. Their weight is kept so low and well balanced. I bet this bike feels lighter when you ride it compared to whatever you have now.
Is it as fast as the ZX14?
No way
its quicker than zx-14 r but zx-14r top speed that still another class this has the best 0-60 but top end zx-14r is still king of drags
Nopes. But, if you love Busa, who cares?
@@Krishnendu792 Same price. Why get something slower. What is not to love about the ZX14?
