    Gen 1 & 2 rider 20 years. Waited for the delayed Gen 3. I walked into a Harley dealer, Opps, now riding an FLHTK (Street Glide Ultra Limited). Built the motor 166hp 156tq. It's fun and to have a bike with full touring storage is amazing. But nothing rivals the BUSA! Actually, looking for a low milage Gen 2. Good video.

    So we all know bikes don't launch fast but rolling is another story. Could we start a rolling time. Only speed limit abiding 😂. 20 to 65 or even a 4t5 to triple in 🇲🇽. I really like the idea of a bunch of modes. It's very personalized without customization. Keeps the value high on the bike while still being very diffrent from each other.

      I agree. A sportster vs a 600 vs a liter bike... all the 0-60 times are fairly close and limited by traction and rider fear of looping the bike. 30 to 90 or 20 to 80 would give a better idea of how nasty a bike is.

      This is where bigger powerful bikes would or could benefit from a belt drive system that has an adjustable swing arm length on the fly.. Low down, longer swing arm, keeping the front down and shortens higher up or on cornering.
      With modern materials, clever electronics it is definitely doable..
      I might be biased, I've a gen 2 Vmax and on take off with the longer length bike it hits 2.5 sec to 60 fairly easily.. Fasted recorded stock is 2.1, so an adjustable swing arm length on a sports bike would be advantageous..

    The Busa is a unique masterpiece of motorcycle design. Deceptively fast, comfortable and the result of years of evolution. Reliability has never been an issue, running costs are directly equal to the rapidity at which you twist the throttle. How rapidly you wish to stretch the chain or evaporate the rear tyre depends on your enthusiasm. But then again, if you wish, Vespa manufacturers two wheeled vehicles as well. It’s not a difficult choice in all reality.

      My 2015 FJR lacks the 6th gear but I can get it up to about 140 if I want. The 6-speeds are probably good to 150 but neither is going to keep up with a Busa. I'd say the FJR is easily the better overall bike because it knows what it is, a Sport Tourer. The Busa is a huge Sport bike that sometimes likes to pretend to be a Sport Tourer.

    I own a Gen3 Hayabusa, and this is my 6th Hayabusa. I bought it to replace my 2020 ZZR1400 (ZX14 in the USA) The big Kawasaki was way better than the first 2 generations 'Busa with a smoother clutch, seemingly more powerful engine, more comfortable seat, and a better fit & finish than the gen 1&2 'Busa's. Indeed if it had cruise control I doubt I would have sold it. So along come Suzuki with their Gen3 and it is by far the best of all three generations, with the power in the area that I want it the most, a smoother clutch, and (for me) the most important of all, the introduction of cruise control along with a fully adjustable electronics package.
    Downsides: Sadly the paintowrk is Suzuki's usual poor offering, which really doesn't take much to mark it. Furthermore when I bought my 2023 year model they had not made a tank protector to match the new colours. How difficult can that be? Also the pegs are set fairly high which does take a little getting used to, though as it now has cruise control you can easily stretch out arms and legs to ease the pain. The stock fairing is also a pain as it directs the airflow right at the visor, thus preventing you cracking it open above 30mph as the draught is aimed straight into your eyes, but this can be remedied by the addition of a double-bubble or aftermarket screen.
    Things I like: Well it's still clearly a 'Busa, with its iconic shape. As I said earlier the power band is in a far more usable place so while it loses a touch at top end I cannot imagiine many people reach those speeds where that is needed. The old-school analogue clocks are well suited to the bike, and the sight of the speedo moving seemlessly up when you give her a handful is addictive. Add in the long wheelbase that gives incredible stability on the windiest of days and this is now one seriously good bike for long days in the saddle.
    Sure, there are faster machines out there, but they don't have the iconic status of the big Suzuki. Park her up to refuel and as often as not someone will either wander across to comment/talk or you'll get a thumbs up.
    Out on the open road it is majestic. My favourite is when I'm doing around 70mph and want to overtake. You can easily just open the throttle for immediate speed, or you can drop her down to third for a dose of accelleration that will defy your senses: "warp factor 3 Scottie" comes to mind. Around town she's a pussycat, with really good manners, very balanced, and I never feel as though I'm going to struggle when I have to put my feet down.
    So, in a nutshell, a bike that is more than just speed, a bike that is capable of long days on the go, a bike that draws attention, even from none-bike enthusiasts, and a bike so iconic almost everyone has heard of them. If only Suzuki finished the paintowrk off better I would score it a 10. As it is I give it a solid 9.
    Hope this review helps anyone thinking of buying one.
    Regards, Bib.

    The 1999 Hayabusa had an unrestricted ECU and could go 190 MPH/306 KPH stock (change the sprockets to higher ratios and it'll go faster). The "gentleman's agreement" came out afterwards to limit to 300 KHP/186 MPH. The ECU on the current bike is overwhelmingly hobbled to where you can "ask" for 100% throttle but the mapped tune still restricts the power, let alone the exhaust which is a major restriction because of Euro V standards. Luckily most Gen 2 (and some Gen 1) aftermarket parts are direct bolt-on and now the ECU can be re-flashed to get rid of those silly restrictions. Slap an RCC turbo kit on that bad boy and watch the top speed and acceleration climb!

I spent roughly the same amount for the turbo kit (granted, I also rebuilt the entire motor to handle bigger boosts eventually, which doubled my costs) and made ~280 HP SAE corrected on 91 pump (higher elevation) with a 7 PSI spring. The bonus is now with a boost controller I can push those boost numbers higher for more HP gain and either run water/air intercooler or methanol injection to keep charge temps down when racing, but still able to street ride on the lower boosts.

    In 1999 Cycle World used a Radar gun to clock the Hayabusa at 194 mph. The following year Kawasaki brought out a ZX12R with more horsepower to beat the Suzuki. The fastest the Kawi would go was 186 mph. The next year a gentlemen’s agreement was reached to limit motorcycles to 300 kph (186 mph) by the Japanese manufactures to avoid legislation from the European Union. The Japanese at the time were the only manufactures able to mass produce bikes this fast. A side note on this is a few months after Kawasaki brought out their Hayabusa beater Cycle Canada was able to acquire time in a wind tunnel with both bikes. The Kawasaki simply wasn’t slippery enough to beat the Suzuki top end even with the extra power. Now I’m 66 years old and this is all from memory.
