If I had my time over again I would go for the Suzie . Years ago I rod a GSX 1100 the bike of choice back then and very powerful for the time and reliable. I am now 58 yo and well used up my 8 lives but I know the feeling that you get and you can not describe it to someone who has never taken it of the edge! Regards John Kinnane Tasmania Australia
Sweet road! However, the title of the post should be 'R1 & Busa'. This was not a race, but two friends having fun. Obviously the Busa wins in a straight line race, but the R1 is the king of the curves. Nevertheless, this was a cool video.
Ricky Lahey Your comment makes no sense, I don't have a vagina and you don't know my riding skill level. Do you have anything usefull to comment other than to use foul language? Come on Ricky prove me wrong here you hooligan!
Thanks for the great feedback from riders/owners of both. I respect diehards for both bikes but the one sided comments aren't helpful. Confirms much of what I feel intuitively. I have a Haya 07 but love the R1 and GSXR1000 so would love to also take them thru the twisties. I'm a moderate rider but really getting used to the Haya after about 2 months and starting to enjoy the corners a lot. Won't mention the straights, they are just amazing!! What I love is that I feel like I can ride all day on the Busa, even with sore wrists sometimes.
Accept A ... BMW S1000RR, BMW S1000RR HP4, APRILLIA RSV4, SUZUKI GSXR1000, HONDA CBR 1000RR, KAWASAKI ZX10R, DUCATI 1098 - 1099 - Panigale . And if you want it just to be about corners... the gsxr600, R6, cbr600rr, Daytona 675r will whoop a 1000 through corners (light and flickable) not to mention 250cc two strokes like the NSR, RGV and RS 250's lol.. Your comment is invalid
actually the busa has 1340cc, is factory 197hp at the crank and weighs in at a hefty 260ish kg's wet. R1 has a rated 186hp, the SAME ft-lb reading as the busa and only weighs in at approximately 216kg, you do the maths on the power to weight ratio, and the busa ACTUALLY handles better than most people realize. busa is built for one purpose, to go fast at the top end, same as the zx14, R1 is a superbike built for the race track, your comparing oranges to apples. ridden both and now own one, the busa, as it is a much user friendly bike, comfy, just as fast as the R1 and i do not get off after a 50km ride with body parts aching from head to toe haha i also race my hayabusa on the track, strip and flying 1/4's, have done an easy 9.9 standing, a 310kmh top speed and my busa is just as fast round the track as most superbikes off the street, not comparing it to race preppared bikes, i am talking street versus street. can ride my busa home from the track and still feel comfy on it ;)
I love how everyone says the Busa can't turn and it will get killed in corners. You guys must face someone who can't ride. Same rider skill level ya advantage 1,000 cc but a good rider vs a squid and my money is on the Busa. I stopped counting how many 1,000 and 600s I've killed in the mountains on both my Busas. It is the rider not the bike, everyone thinks they can run my RC but they can't even with 20-30 hp up on me. If you are one with your bike you can rail corners period, and just because you can ride wheelies does not mean you can scratch corners. You haven't learned until you can get your knees on deck on purpose, and when you master knees on deck on a Busa or a ZX14 then your doing something.
xzsdfvdfbv bragging about doing 4x the speed limit in a town zone isn't cool. 50 zones are 50 for a reason. I can understand totally if some idiot wants to go silly fast on a freeway or autobahn, but doing 200 kmh in a pedestrian area? That's just selfish as fuck. You get people crossing the road, maybe even children and old people crossing the road. You hit someone, they die. Instantly. Hit someone at 40 or 50 kph and there's a chance they survive. Hit someone doing 200 and you could cause even more collateral damage. But of course small minded selfish people who live for the thrill and don't give a shit about other Human beings don't care about things like that, do they? I remember a story where a BMW driver bragged about driving fast on the BMW forums and he had his license revoked. That was quite hilarious.
no way u can keep up with a R-1 on mountain rds. These are hugh sweepers not the mountains twisties..Don't know how you can compare the two except for an ego boost...Shitty rider and all,sorry not believing your crap...I hate the busa on mountain rds. and to be honest I prefer gxsr 750 in the mountains and love racing all brand 1000s and put big cc's in their place...Until the guy with 450 supermoto blows by us both...
stairman5555 Good point, but what I was saying is its power to weight ratio. I weigh 230 pounds, so in race trim I'm more Super Sic than Pedrosa, if I attempted to race some fly weight on the same machine with the same power he would simply walk away into the sunset, mountains, road, track or otherwise. Can the smaller bike turn quicker of course! However the power of the big bikes ZX14 and Busa give big guys like me that can ride and actually have the muscle to man handle a big bike a fair shot. A lot of guys don't think they can handle but they can and for me having had all kinds of bikes for all kinds of uses, really love the abilities of the bigger bikes along with the power that removes my weight disadvantage. If an average rider comes at me on a 1k or 600 they will get smashed. If a good rider comes at me it will be a toss up and a club racer will be surprised, to see the big girl nipping at his heels and if not careful alongside or with a wheel in front. I'm not a professional racer because when I was young enough to go racing we didn't have the loot to do so, but I know that I have faced good riders and great and they are all shocked that they can handle. Just take the crap tires off and get some good sticky rubber and have fun, without breaking your back!
You can man handle that Busa all you want...You are still dreaming..When you leen that badboy in a turn it wants to go straight....They are made strickly for open road..and of course drags...Good debating you but you just don't understand...You are talking like it handles better than 750's and 1000's to actually beat them on your busa..Your not alone though...Just another bigger is better type..
stairman5555 Good debate with us stair-man (stupid auto correct) you are correct I'm not saying that a Busa will out handle a 1,000 or smaller bike, far from it, I'm just saying that they will dance far better than most people give them credit for, you just have to be committed to learning your bike and getting the best out of it and yourself. Now me I would look like s Gorilla humping a coconut it I rode a 600 I'm just to big of a guy, body builder for many years and now a few to many beers so the nimble advantage goes out the window to a fly weight guy that is 100 pounds lighter than me. However because of my strength level a 1,300cc bike is more akin to a 600/750 for me. 1,000cc are good weight but I personally feel like I'm on a Moped with a turbo, and when I hit top speed I am still looking for a bit more stretch of the arms. But hey that's just my opinion and like noses everyone's got one and no one likes yours! Ride safe out there brother, and if you see a big bird slinging corners in the South West it just might be mine!
I have done this kind of top end racing for as long as 25 miles in one race. It's ok but after a while it losses it's attraction. I mean holding open your throttle, ducking under the wind and going mostly straight is not really challenging. That's why these heavy, extremely powerful bikes do not interest me that much. I have better taste in machines. I much prefer narrow back road racing with 1st, 2nd., 3rd, 4th gear curves, hills, drops, off camber turns, decreasing radius curves, 180 degree hairpins and short straights. It involves proper gear selection and shifting, engine rpm matching, leaning over, keeping on the bike over big hard bumps and large pot holes. Lastly it's more difficult to hold your exact chosen line until you learn "finesse'. It's just a lot more "INTENSE"!
me and my friends do what u said on our groms we all put all the money down on them last summer and every day before and after school we race the backroads
wow! I got a suz bandit 600 gsf x and a suz bandit 1200 but the Haya is awesome and I want add it to my collection wish list! Great pilots solid ride xx
+Arto Kulmala i love speed more than u... i flipped over on my car riding 230km/h bcouse pf tire blow up... new tires blowed up withput any reason. i lost control and hit 2 other cars.barelly got alive and almost killed others... than i realise that driving above 120 km/h is just stupid...
Poul Hansen I don't think speed is stupid in itself. It's more about inappropriate speed and risk to others. 300 kph is fine on an empty straight road where you are not a risk to others (but illegal in most parts of the world). Changing direction and braking take time and distance. If you have worked out in your head how you are going to execute a manoeuvre at a given speed within certain tolerances, another vehicle can screw up your calculation by changing speed or direction (braking, changing lanes etc.) which puts you out of those tolerances. If you are willing to accept the risk of death, brain damage or paralysis yourself that is up to you. However, if your bike hits another vehicle or person or causes THEM to react dangerously... So basically it comes down to other people.
the only thing the busa is better at is top speed. bottem end, road feel, turns, weight EVERYTHING else goes to the r1. the busa barely has top speed on it. the r1 is restricted to what 191, but has plenty more power if restrictions were removed. I wanna see that drag race. I don't think the busa would be able to catch up and it's a 1300 vs a 1000, 300 more cc's. r1 all day, hell Yamaha all day.
04 r1 that's a joke, and its obvious you are a Suzuki fanboy, but that's cool as soon as you jump on a 09 r1 with the Crossplane, you'll understand what the hype is all about. He'll try a 08 r1 without the Crossplane, still a big difference from an 04 r1. I'm not hatin though, a buddy of mine has a 2nd gen busa and I drive it a good bit as he ALWAYS wants to ride my r1's. You will understand after you try a different r1 other than a 04
Busa and ZX 14 is only good in the straights... Who can't twist a throttle and shift...? Real skill is found on the track and twisties.. Sit down I'll eat your zx14 alive in the mountains or the track...
Not quite bro.. if I were travelling on 500 km trip I'd choose the comfy busa with all the power at your fingertips and don't be fooled it's lots of fun in the twisties...
I absolutely love this vid. Long live the mighty Busa!!! God I love that motorcycle what a Machine! I want....No, I need one! ALMOST Time to trade in the ZX an get Busa bound....
The busa definitely isn't all stock. I think those things only hit 220 off the showroom floor. He definitely has some type of mods to it which is probably why he has an after market speedometer because the STOCK speedometer can't keep up with his AFTERMARKET market
Nothing else compares to a hayabusa in the long run everything else falls short . I had a zx10 and it was fast but my 2011 hayabusa is better. Nice video
julian117891 nah, the h2r has like 310hp, if you're brave enough, it will wreck the busa. Not saying either one is better, i like busas a lot, that's just the truth. Also, you can't drive the h2r on streets, there's the h2 version with 218hp that is street legal.
DAY UMM ! That was some STAR WARS , RETURN of THE JEDI stuff there. I just have to use that analogy because seeing the bike scene in the movie is fun to watch the same as this vid. Thanks and PEACE !
A men! Alan Hayes! I don't want to read about how your super mustard can out corner my R1 at 150mph. I want to read about real opinions from super bike owners.
Ok this might sound dump, Im not such a big bike "know it all", i really enjoy bikes and have one myself... but is this the busa or the R1? with the camera on
+Caio Gondim Gen 2 Busas like this one are indeed very quick indeed, but all Japanese bikes are limited to 299 kph unless you override the ECU. The ZZR14 is actually a slightly quicker bike than the Busa having an extra 10 HP, and any of the latest Litre bikes would easily match it for top speed and acceleration. They are all making 185 rwp and weigh a lot less.
Are you dead sure about that, as all of these bikes have been speed tested by radar in the |Mags, and almost all of them stop dead at 186 mph, incl the Busa and ZZR14. The BMW1000 RR was radared at 188 mph so they are breaking their own agreed rules there, but there may have been a tailwind on the day. The Radar does not lie.
Busa and ZZR14 do not exceed 186 mph in radar testing. End of !!!! The 1999 Busa could do 194 mph stock, and it made a lot less power. Think about that.
Original Busa as tested by UK`s MCN back in 1999 famously did 200.1 mph bone stock on a long Aircraft runway. Only thing they did with it was to remove the mirrors and the rider was wearing one piece leathers and tightly tucked in. !!!!
I like the Busa but I've heard its easier to ride the Kawasaki ZX-14 at high speeds.There both great bikes and the Yamaha R1 1000cc bike,the 2014 model in grey with gold wheels,and the pipes up near the seat is awesome.
The point is that car length. Faster is faster. If the bikes were way more expensive than a litre bike, then it may be kind of pointless. But they're not. They're just designed for a different kind of speed
It's amazing that R6 sounds like F1's. And its range of powerband burst is also crazy. No point to chase 1000 when you ride 600. It only takes gas without any satisfaction.
+Neil Petersen IMHO For a long distance I would recommend using a different Bike.. Sporties are not very comfortable for long distances.. well.. just my two cents..
tyler bonser comfort does not depend on speed limits. It depends on the bike you're riding. And sure, a little depends on the rider itself as well. A longer rider will have more air resistance and won't need to drive as fast to be comfortable, but his knees will soon be killing him on a bike like this. A shorter rider won't have as much problems with the knees, but will need to drive a little faster for the wind to keep the pressure off the wrists. Still comes to the same thing, if you're looking for comfort while cruising distances, you're not making the right choice with these types of bikes. I'm not saying it's impossible to cruise long distances, but it'll be A LOT more comfortable on a few different types of bikes. I drive a K1300S, I can tell.
I showed a group of cheerleaders a photograph of a Ferrari and one of a Hyabusa (I'm a photographer by trade) and I asked them which they thought was the fastest. Every one of them said the Ferrari. They were all squealing and excited about the car and totally ignored the bike. I think bikes must be over-hyped by men rather than being genuinely fast.
They're both extremely fast bikes and they take turns passing each other. It really comes down to preference, debate solved. The busa is lower and longer, heavier... The R1 has that sweet look and higher seat, lower bars
does anybody out there know what type of bike the Ghostrider is driving in his footage and it is not stock because apparently he quoted as having 499 horse in the bikes these guys are driving are they stock somebody give me a little help here
Well said. It looks like a 2007-8 model R1 to me, and they can hit a genuine 182-184 mph in ideal test conditions. This has been certified in numerous radar controlled speed tests. The Busa second Gen like this one is limited to 186 mph, so not sure how the busa can pass so easily in this test. The R1 in this test seems to max out at 260 kph approx., but they are faster than that. I own one and can easily stay with my friends first gen Busa right through the gears . It will hit 299 kph on the speedo quite easily, though that is probably more like a true 285-90 kph allowing for speedo error. But the top speed keeps climbing even with the needle pegged at 299. The very first Busas were faster on top speed of course, , coming out before the top speed restrictions were put in place and could reach a genuine 194 mph without too much trouble, this being down to their super slippery shape.
James Marshall Yeah dude , my 08 R1( flashed ) run 299kmh in 5th gear , the R1 on the video have a problem ( maybe the rider too ) . About Ghostrider , i can be wrong but it was a Busa ( the black ) with a GSXR 1000 fairing kit .
Did you do a pull from 240 km/h (150 mph) ? Hayabusa / ZX14 are aimed at a completely different driver than eg your Repsol, so you´re completely missing the point of this video imho..
you buy a bike like that and for what it was engineered to do, you shouldnt be looking at gas prices. Thats like buying a beamer or a mercedes and bitching about gas. Dont buy expensive equipment if you cant afford it, idiots
edison chen Generalizing the guy as an "idiot" in your first comment was enough to warrant the "Chill out" by me, and I said/typed it with no inflection of aggression or calmness. Your reply to my comment justified mine. I didn't call you any names, just pointed out your unnecessary rant. Now YOU look like the "Idiot" for your overreaction. Congrats.
Original HAYABUSA is limited at 299 Km/h.... it's a normal sport bike.... but hacking it (electronic limitation only) is the fastest ever produced.... In Europe all HAYABUSA model have the limitation due to a special agreement for European laws.
The problem with this plan is that they think "shit" only happens to others. Walking the roads at this speed is being irresponsible twice. You put your own life at risk and people you've never met. I ride a Superbike on the roads and control the desire to speed by having in my mind that there is no place for this and that "shit happens" to me, too. Note zero for this video.
You know... R1's top speed is 300km/h... And hayabusa overtakes them @ just 288... Plus yamaha ain't even tryin... Plus downhill... 😒 Don't understimate Yamaha...
+Brandonstone Yoo... Firstly, No1 lied... 2ndly R1 crosses 300km/h easily... Ohh... For the known fact Yamaha give's accurate info's... (In specific they don't lie)
And you realize that 300kms per hour is 200mph right?? So, now it would have to have close to the same amount of power as the busa to get there.. And every video i have ever seen with a maxed out R1, neither one has ever been anywhere close to that speed, ESPECIALLY bone stock
I don't see the point of comparing a Hayabusa with anything else rather than a MV Augusta. We all know that the only thing that could actually keep up with a Busa is the Augusta.
I had a Honda hurricane in the early 90's , head work , 90 shot NOS , exhaust , sprockets plus more that bike was fast with the 90 shot I could wax anything back then and I thought that bike was fast which it was with NOS I could use it if the bottle wasn't full in 2 new gear but if full had to use it starting in 3rd . Then sold that had many other bikes gsxr 750 , CBR 600 and 900 rr , then I bought a 2007 R1 wow what a fucking powerful machine .
If I had my time over again I would go for the Suzie . Years ago I rod a GSX 1100 the bike of choice back then and very powerful for the time and reliable. I am now 58 yo and well used up my 8 lives but I know the feeling that you get and you can not describe it to someone who has never taken it of the edge! Regards John Kinnane Tasmania Australia
+John Kinnane , I love my busa and at almost 50 enjoy breaking the 200 mph mark , JUST BUSA IT !
+JACOB BRAKE thanks for replying keep safe and enjoy what we can only know kind regards John
Never go faster than your guardian angle can fly...

but busa has deafeat ri
cool or not, its illegal to do what they just did. The open road is not place for this. Take it to the track. Tracks exist for a reason.
Its autobahn brother...u know autobahn or not??
well crap.
Didn't realize. =/
as long as its on the section of the autobahn that still has not speed limit then I suppose I was wrong. Good call.
This Video is made in Germany and in Germany many Highways have no speedlimit
Thanks your comment makes a difference...

ridden both and now own one, the busa, as it is a much user friendly bike, comfy, just as fast as the R1 and i do not get off after a 50km ride with body parts aching from head to toe haha
i also race my hayabusa on the track, strip and flying 1/4's, have done an easy 9.9 standing, a 310kmh top speed and my busa is just as fast round the track as most superbikes off the street, not comparing it to race preppared bikes, i am talking street versus street.
can ride my busa home from the track and still feel comfy on it ;)
Remember, speed is not the thing that kills you, It's the sudden lack of it that does.
haha true
Hayabusa is the most comfortable motorcycle
I ever rode. Props to this guy,
Thanks for the ride , lol
Good job on the placement and location of the camera, I like it that I can see his gauges in the shot as the speeds vary

busa has the straight but R1 has the bends,,and whats more fun when riding, 'the bends'.
Yeah , but this R1on the video must be asthmatic for sure , i have the same 08 ( Flashed ) , it run 299kmh in 5th gear .
Anyway the Busa would smoke the R1 on a straight line.
Yeah bro , agreed , but for 5mph , not for 25mph like this one .
What kind of digital speedmeter is on the top of the analoge one?
1:45 Not clever.
driving 290 km/h and driving it on motorbike is already stupid thing...
+Arto Kulmala i love speed more than u... i flipped over on my car riding 230km/h bcouse pf tire blow up... new tires blowed up withput any reason. i lost control and hit 2 other cars.barelly got alive and almost killed others... than i realise that driving above 120 km/h is just stupid...
So keep it under 120 km/h.
Poul Hansen I don't think speed is stupid in itself. It's more about inappropriate speed and risk to others. 300 kph is fine on an empty straight road where you are not a risk to others (but illegal in most parts of the world).
Changing direction and braking take time and distance. If you have worked out in your head how you are going to execute a manoeuvre at a given speed within certain tolerances, another vehicle can screw up your calculation by changing speed or direction (braking, changing lanes etc.) which puts you out of those tolerances.
If you are willing to accept the risk of death, brain damage or paralysis yourself that is up to you. However, if your bike hits another vehicle or person or causes THEM to react dangerously... So basically it comes down to other people.
holy shit
the only thing the busa is better at is top speed. bottem end, road feel, turns, weight EVERYTHING else goes to the r1. the busa barely has top speed on it. the r1 is restricted to what 191, but has plenty more power if restrictions were removed. I wanna see that drag race. I don't think the busa would be able to catch up and it's a 1300 vs a 1000, 300 more cc's. r1 all day, hell Yamaha all day.
I own the Icon.. Red/Black 99 unrestricted.
Weep my friend...and good luck
04 r1 that's a joke, and its obvious you are a Suzuki fanboy, but that's cool as soon as you jump on a 09 r1 with the Crossplane, you'll understand what the hype is all about. He'll try a 08 r1 without the Crossplane, still a big difference from an 04 r1. I'm not hatin though, a buddy of mine has a 2nd gen busa and I drive it a good bit as he ALWAYS wants to ride my r1's. You will understand after you try a different r1 other than a 04
To each his own
Busa and ZX 14 is only good in the straights... Who can't twist a throttle and shift...? Real skill is found on the track and twisties.. Sit down I'll eat your zx14 alive in the mountains or the track...
Not quite bro.. if I were travelling on 500 km trip I'd choose the comfy busa with all the power at your fingertips and don't be fooled it's lots of fun in the twisties...
My R1 2007 runs rings around my Busa Gen1 the Busa will only catch up on the straights i love them both for different reasons.
I absolutely love this vid. Long live the mighty Busa!!! God I love that motorcycle what a Machine! I want....No, I need one! ALMOST Time to trade in the ZX an get Busa bound....
The busa definitely isn't all stock. I think those things only hit 220 off the showroom floor. He definitely has some type of mods to it which is probably why he has an after market speedometer because the STOCK speedometer can't keep up with his AFTERMARKET market
Wow... This you tube is amazing ... Love The Busa...!
Nothing else compares to a hayabusa in the long run everything else falls short . I had a zx10 and it was fast but my 2011 hayabusa is better. Nice video
Damn, busa makes R1 look weak.
Busa makes anything look weak
James Campbell Behold: Kawasaki Ninja H2R
$afire even that will be smoked after 300 kmh
julian117891 nah, the h2r has like 310hp, if you're brave enough, it will wreck the busa. Not saying either one is better, i like busas a lot, that's just the truth. Also, you can't drive the h2r on streets, there's the h2 version with 218hp that is street legal.
the difference will be on higher speeds. a turbo busa will surpass the h2r sooner or later cause the kawa is not capable or made for that speed
Good vid, what kind of steering damp did you get ?
essa marcação é em milhas?? do visor digital central superior?
eles estão na europa, la se usa o sistema métrico na maioria dos países, entao o display do gps ta marcando em km/h.
DAY UMM ! That was some STAR WARS , RETURN of THE JEDI stuff there.
I just have to use that analogy because seeing the bike scene in the movie is fun to watch the same as this vid. Thanks and PEACE !
hayabusa sings like to r1 : "mov bitc$ get out the way get out the way ...."
These guys are Crazy!!! Awesome video :)
Whats the green light on the stalk, on the left of the cockpit?
Is it a speed camera gizmo?
If so where can i get one?
If not, what the fak is it?
That's the neutral indicator
Its low oil level indicator
Hi What is brand or name of that GPS speedometer?
Are they late for getting at work ?
that one in the middle meter mph or km/h???
km/h
yeah the digital mph that portable thing you know what brand and product to find that thanks
Ale jaka jest różnica na prędkościomierzu a na gpesie...
looks like the busa has different sprockets on hence the analog speedo being way off what the gps digital display says
Smooth and effortless! I want to ride this one ... what a sweet speed!
Damn!!! The Busa lifted its back wheel and peed on the R1!!! And the R1 is a damn respected super bike...
Hi nice motorcycle how is the speedometer?? Where aré buy that lcd?
You're a good sport, the way you kept slowing down for him
A men! Alan Hayes! I don't want to read about how your super mustard can out corner my R1 at 150mph. I want to read about real opinions from super bike owners.
what is that called and brand mph meter guage in middle of motorcycle
where is this road? portugal? spain?
Ok this might sound dump, Im not such a big bike "know it all", i really enjoy bikes and have one myself... but is this the busa or the R1? with the camera on
He would've decelerated faster if he downshifted to 1st dear from 300kph
GEAR
+Gabe adorno me too
You're an idiot.
no thats you
I don't even know how to respond to such low intelligence...
Is that the police at 4:40? Looks like it to me. Would have liked to see what these guys did to evade what was waiting ahead.
Wow!!!290mph,truly insane
I did not understand why the comparison here, but yeah, did you guys understand it now? this is the Haya, the fastest
+Caio Gondim Gen 2 Busas like this one are indeed very quick indeed, but all Japanese bikes are limited to 299 kph unless you override the ECU. The ZZR14 is actually a slightly quicker bike than the Busa having an extra 10 HP, and any of the latest Litre bikes would easily match it for top speed and acceleration. They are all making 185 rwp and weigh a lot less.
Are you dead sure about that, as all of these bikes have been speed tested by radar in the |Mags, and almost all of them stop dead at 186 mph, incl the Busa and ZZR14. The BMW1000 RR was radared at 188 mph so they are breaking their own agreed rules there, but there may have been a tailwind on the day. The Radar does not lie.
Busa and ZZR14 do not exceed 186 mph in radar testing. End of !!!! The 1999 Busa could do 194 mph stock, and it made a lot less power. Think about that.
Original Busa as tested by UK`s MCN back in 1999 famously did 200.1 mph bone stock on a long Aircraft runway. Only thing they did with it was to remove the mirrors and the rider was wearing one piece leathers and tightly tucked in. !!!!
Is it an wireless gps speedometer??? if yes.... where can i find this cute one???
I like the Busa but I've heard its easier to ride the Kawasaki ZX-14 at high speeds.There both great bikes and the Yamaha R1 1000cc bike,the 2014 model in grey with gold wheels,and the pipes up near the seat is awesome.
The point is that car length. Faster is faster. If the bikes were way more expensive than a litre bike, then it may be kind of pointless. But they're not. They're just designed for a different kind of speed
It's amazing that R6 sounds like F1's. And its range of powerband burst is also crazy.
No point to chase 1000 when you ride 600. It only takes gas without any satisfaction.
Hi mate, what would be a comfortable speed to cruise at for a long distance?
+Neil Petersen IMHO For a long distance I would recommend using a different Bike.. Sporties are not very comfortable for long distances.. well.. just my two cents..
+E Orendain He didnt ask what kind of bike he asked what speed, which is a stupid question,
tyler bonser Why is it stupid
Goes it depends if you have speed limits or not. But its more of a personal question, going to be a bit different for everyone
tyler bonser comfort does not depend on speed limits. It depends on the bike you're riding. And sure, a little depends on the rider itself as well. A longer rider will have more air resistance and won't need to drive as fast to be comfortable, but his knees will soon be killing him on a bike like this. A shorter rider won't have as much problems with the knees, but will need to drive a little faster for the wind to keep the pressure off the wrists. Still comes to the same thing, if you're looking for comfort while cruising distances, you're not making the right choice with these types of bikes. I'm not saying it's impossible to cruise long distances, but it'll be A LOT more comfortable on a few different types of bikes. I drive a K1300S, I can tell.
Where are the more videos ?
this is great!! I wish to have a road and a bike like that...will soon get a bike like that for sure.
hello what is your top speed hayabusa
Blz show de bola mas só da 299 km/h low, procure por um vídeo sendo ultrapassado a 299 km/h, e a hayabusa nova anda mais que esta?
Was the ECU flashed or standard map?
vitesse de pointé de ouf ... franchement respect au motard
I showed a group of cheerleaders a photograph of a Ferrari and one of a Hyabusa (I'm a photographer by trade) and I asked them which they thought was the fastest. Every one of them said the Ferrari. They were all squealing and excited about the car and totally ignored the bike. I think bikes must be over-hyped by men rather than being genuinely fast.
who on earth gives a fuck about what fucking cheerleaders think about seriously
They're both extremely fast bikes and they take turns passing each other. It really comes down to preference, debate solved. The busa is lower and longer, heavier... The R1 has that sweet look and higher seat, lower bars
+Keith Fox hayabusa is also inverted forks lol.
does anybody out there know what type of bike the Ghostrider is driving in his footage and it is not stock because apparently he quoted as having 499 horse in the bikes these guys are driving are they stock somebody give me a little help here
Well said. It looks like a 2007-8 model R1 to me, and they can hit a genuine 182-184 mph in ideal test conditions. This has been certified in numerous radar controlled speed tests. The Busa second Gen like this one is limited to 186 mph, so not sure how the busa can pass so easily in this test. The R1 in this test seems to max out at 260 kph approx., but they are faster than that. I own one and can easily stay with my friends first gen Busa right through the gears . It will hit 299 kph on the speedo quite easily, though that is probably more like a true 285-90 kph allowing for speedo error. But the top speed keeps climbing even with the needle pegged at 299. The very first Busas were faster on top speed of course, , coming out before the top speed restrictions were put in place and could reach a genuine 194 mph without too much trouble, this being down to their super slippery shape.
twin turbo modded busa m8
James Marshall Yeah dude , my 08 R1( flashed ) run 299kmh in 5th gear , the R1 on the video have a problem ( maybe the rider too ) .
About Ghostrider , i can be wrong but it was a Busa ( the black ) with a GSXR 1000 fairing kit .
Sometimes its not the bike, its the courage of the rider tnat counts...
Did you do a pull from 240 km/h (150 mph) ? Hayabusa / ZX14 are aimed at a completely different driver than eg your Repsol, so you´re completely missing the point of this video imho..
was that little screen mph or kmh?
How does it feel to go 200mph? Must be incredible!
skilla6000. Yes, bike speedometers are notoriously unreliable. My 1993 ZX11 showed an indicated 190 but radar only showed 181.
How many kms did they travelled in 6 minutes??
5km per minute
300km/60mins
5km/1 minute
30km = 6mins
Mosquitoe's nightmare
Started with a full tank ended with near a half left after only 6 mins... expensive run...
you buy a bike like that and for what it was engineered to do, you shouldnt be looking at gas prices. Thats like buying a beamer or a mercedes and bitching about gas. Dont buy expensive equipment if you cant afford it, idiots
edison chen
I believe it was merely an observation. Chill out.
edison chen
Generalizing the guy as an "idiot" in your first comment was enough to warrant the "Chill out" by me, and I said/typed it with no inflection of aggression or calmness. Your reply to my comment justified mine. I didn't call you any names, just pointed out your unnecessary rant. Now YOU look like the "Idiot" for your overreaction. Congrats.
and i justified myself and that didnt change
Sure thing, buddy.
km/h or mp/h?
Herlig lyd, men mikrofonen skulle være enda mer skjermet mot vind!
on your hayabusa motorcycle what is that mph electronic guage brand name and product name i want that
The beast on the road the king machine never loses hayabusa
Passed the car like it was going backwards
what happened to 1st-2nd gear? haha
Wayne D 1st - Neutral - 2nd. LOL. Wish I could say I've never done that, but it happens sometimes.
Feines Video,toll gefahren
is that km/hr or miles/hr?
Ain't no coming back from this if you take a dip! at those speeds... Noooooooo!!!
Original HAYABUSA is limited at 299 Km/h.... it's a normal sport bike.... but hacking it (electronic limitation only) is the fastest ever produced.... In Europe all HAYABUSA model have the limitation due to a special agreement for European laws.
This is one man rider. He maxxed out the speedodometer

awesome video :)
The problem with this plan is that they think "shit" only happens to others. Walking the roads at this speed is being irresponsible twice. You put your own life at risk and people you've never met. I ride a Superbike on the roads and control the desire to speed by having in my mind that there is no place for this and that "shit happens" to me, too.
Note zero for this video.
Le speedometre Suzuki # le speedometre digital posé.ne sont pas conforme
Hey there! What's the name of the speedometer? It's for my father ;D
I saw one thing in this video that hayabusa rider have fear where r1 riders doesn't have any fear😯😯
+rakesh kumar he was not scared he was just waiting for theme to get closer
You know... R1's top speed is 300km/h... And hayabusa overtakes them @ just 288... Plus yamaha ain't even tryin... Plus downhill... 😒 Don't understimate Yamaha...
An all time speed king of a superbike will demolish a probably stock r1 any day
Excuses excuses
Bobby Chris Who lied and told you that the R1 is a 200mph bike??? Because that is nowhere close to being correct
+Brandonstone Yoo... Firstly, No1 lied... 2ndly R1 crosses 300km/h easily... Ohh... For the known fact Yamaha give's accurate info's... (In specific they don't lie)
And you realize that 300kms per hour is 200mph right?? So, now it would have to have close to the same amount of power as the busa to get there.. And every video i have ever seen with a maxed out R1, neither one has ever been anywhere close to that speed, ESPECIALLY bone stock
By the way that's not a busa. The dash of the camera bike is a ZX14
I don't see the point of comparing a Hayabusa with anything else rather than a MV Augusta.
We all know that the only thing that could actually keep up with a Busa is the Augusta.
I had a Honda hurricane in the early 90's , head work , 90 shot NOS , exhaust , sprockets plus more that bike was fast with the 90 shot I could wax anything back then and I thought that bike was fast which it was with NOS I could use it if the bottle wasn't full in 2 new gear but if full had to use it starting in 3rd . Then sold that had many other bikes gsxr 750 , CBR 600 and 900 rr , then I bought a 2007 R1 wow what a fucking powerful machine .
I am still wating for this white VW Golf I from behind... xD
