The GSXR was built for superbike racing. The Hayabusa was intended as the über sport touring bike from hell. Both are good at what they do. Aftermarket support for a 21 year old design has more options.
@Tommy Yuckguts no. There is a GSX-R1000 or a sportier GSX-R1000R (extra R at the end). Same with the GSX-R600 and GSX-R750. The Hayabusa is a GSX-1300R (there was NEVER an R before the number since it's not a GSX-R!)
Small guy Busa rider here. I could see the 1000 being a better dedicated track bike over the Busa, but if we’re talking a street/strip setup I’m picking the Busa all day. It’s more comfortable on the street but can still keep up with the new stuff.
It depends on the preference and application...but in today's time with the support of the aftermarket world, the Busa still is hard to beat.. so the Busa is my choice because it fits my large frame and riding style.
Great Video! Glad that I just joined this channel a few weeks ago. I don't know about drag racing a bike, since I've never done it, but the Hayabusa is too long, big, bulky, and two heavy. The Gixxer, being just as fast, weighing about 150 lbs less, which is a significant difference, much better power to weight ratio, and can out corner the Hayabusa, any day of the week.
I've got both, '06 Busa and '19 Gixxer R, and I love them both! I use the Busa mostly for Top Speed Standing Mile and the Gixxer for Super Street track racing. The Busa is more comfortable for longer hauls and the Gixxer is easier for flicking on corners. I'm not a small dude at 6'2" and 210lbs, so the higher Torque from the Busa helps in launching. With power adders, I think the Busa will be more reliable and there's more aftermarket for the Busa already since it's an older platform. That's why my Busa is turbo'd and the Gixxer is stock :D. I think the Busa's lower HP is due to factory detuning and just an older machine since the '08 Gen 2's. IF Suzuki is even going to do a Gen 3, they're going to have to deal with Euro emission standards which is going to cause them more headaches.
I want. The pusa. Unbelievable creation. Unbelievable bikes. I had the 73 h2 750 cow new . The katana 1100 was a lot of fun. I would like to throw my leg over one of these new missiles they have now. I've owned several bikes in my time . I need another bike.......
I’m 6ft6 and torn between the Busa or GSXR1000, think the Busa would be better in the long run? Commuting to work and ride around would be my use, no track or drag racing at all.
@@dad3562 For comfort, commuting, and general riding: Busa all day. Not as aggressive of a sitting position, wider seat for more comfort (both rider and passenger, my wife hates sitting on the rear seat of the Gixxer), and more low end torque for light-to-light riding.
Here in Europe Old Guys Who want a fast Touring Bike buys a Busa, and the young get die Gixxer for Race Tracks You cant ride the Gixxer normal on Streets ,first Gear goes far beyond the Speed Limit and Cops or Radarboxes give you a Ticket in every Corner.also the Sitting Position is every Uncomfortable on the Gixxer for all day music.its a true Race Bike .The Busa is tame Lion and more rideable on normal streets. Excuse my bad englisch...😎
I got a busa and rode 180mph in like 5 seconds. Im 5 ft 5. Only reason I prefer a liter bike is because its lighter and I feel I can control it a lot better the way I ride. The busa makes my neck hurt because the front is so long im leaning more forward than the liter bike. But the busa is a nice crusing bike from hell.
All the GSXR are reliable. I’m 6’2’’, 205lbs. I have a 2008 750, short wheelbase. I’ve been racing both at the track and strip. Literally thousands of hours of punishment with a few spills. Never broke anything and still runs 10.29@138mph on the 1/4.
I love both bikes.i had a 1000 I love because I was light.but I own a gen 2 now for 4 years.and I love that too.but at the end of the day I'll take the busa.because I never had a problem with it
I’ve owned a 2013 hayabusa and the gsxr1000 my opinion the busa is a better ride tho on the flip side I traded up to a 2021 ZX14 out preformed both bikes…
i like to do wheelies, speed on the street and i'm a small rider so i personally prefer a gsxr 1000 and i tried both before i bought one and i choose a gsxr 1000 and it has been so reliable and fun.
I bought my 2021 GSXR1000R 100th Anniversary bike because it is the sexiest motorcycle I've ever seen. It also happens to be really fast. Low gear roll-ons are brutal! The instant throttle touches WOT, up comes the front wheel. It doesn't merely rise up, either! Stock arm I'm thinking needs to be replaced with a longer one to use low gear and make good time-slips. I would imagine that the Busa has more go-fast parts available making it the best platform for drag racing...
You are merely referring to the motorcycle end. 100th anniversary for Suzuki Corp. Look it it up. "100th anniversary Suzuki GSXR1000R." You're welcome!@@TheWalkingFlu
@@MrSmurfnanne you think you just said something but you literally said what I just said. The 100th anniversary bike is for SUZUKIS anniversary. The GSXR has only been around 30 years.
Only I wrote with clarity. I don't know what point you're attempting to make and really don't care. The 100th Anniversary edition came out in 2021. I should know because I own one. smh@@TheWalkingFlu
I'm a big guy but I've never owned or driven a Busa I've always gone with the GSXR unfortunately my GSXR a little older and for the most part a little slower. Buy motorcycle was a GSXR 11 from 93 but it was not stock quick itch. Mine had a 1350 CC Big Bore Kit and a little bit of head work. I would eat busa and GSXR for lunch on a bike like mine. So I like the 1100 GSXR lol. But I would go with the busa in the mix your looking at.
Great great video and questions, in my opinion its all about the size of the rider and what he or she feels comfortable on. I dragrace both from stock to full out built and the busa has more of you can feel it in your pants, obviously its the torque but yet controlled movement. I love the 1000 only because you can say I beat a bigger bike.
The gsxr 1000 is engineered as a road racing motorcycle, the hayabusa is a sport touring rig.. The gsxr has to compete on the showroom floor with all the other road race bikes, some of which make over 200 hp at the counter shaft sprocket.
Which utensil is good for eating? Depends on what you are eating! If you have to choose between a spoon and a knife, which is better for eating soup? Which is better for cutting steak? They each can do it, I guess, but one clearly has an advantage over the other when eating their prospective foods! I guess you can TRY to eat soup w a knife but you are going to be there a while!!! I’d ride either bike down the 1/4 as they are both badass bike! #ZukNation
At 6'3" tall, I wouldn't dare ride the gsxr 1000, because let's face it, 95% of ALL riders will never be on the track any more than 5 hours in their entire lifetimes !! Also, at my height, the busa would be more fitting, more comfortable and more durable in ALL weather conditions...
05-08 1000’s clutch is not so terrible as said… it’s incorrect. 05-06 is terrible but there is an easy fix, and dont needed a 500 bucks aftermarket thing, just 3 drill in the clutch bracket and a washer from k7 and it works hell good. All in all 1k to stretch and drag is a waste of money, imo it should goes on curvy tracks not on the straight. Busa is actually the bike for straight! It does and do and will doin all the time better on savage 1/4 mile without really cooling. Busa was built for top speed, it says a lot about the herritage and character of this bike.
I would have to choose the GSXR 1000 it’s a weight ratio lighter bike moves faster can get off the line quicker The Hayabusa does have a bigger engine though
I am lucky and have both. I run them both on the 1/8 and 1/4. Fun to change up... Please... No more of that Numb Skull in the stocking hat at the end of your videos...
For me Hayabusa but my body says no now I have to graduate to Suzuki Boulevard 109 we'll see how long my body can have that bike before it breaks down more LOL shoulder knee back neck I tried the high risers it's okay but still doesn't work all together so now I guess I have to settle for muscle cruiser bikes but I could imagine the GSXR 1000 any more than 10 minutes back to the chiropractor
Suzuki Gave the GSXR 1000 a little more Horse Power to Help sell the Bike. They Knew "THAT" alone Wouldn't make it come off the line any Faster UNLESS the Owner Performed Some Modifications i.e Stretched and Lowered.

6'4''. 235 lbs. TURBO Busa is what I use to get my speed fix !!! 😎
Busa for sure. .I'm a small guy so power to weight even better. .easier to ride the torque

Busa all the way. It's a legend, it's timeless. Love my Busa!
I’ve owned the 1000 & the Busa i love both but when i take a long ride & leaning i have to take a 1000.
But power & customizing Busa the beast
Busa power!! all day has more customizations you can do to it jus sayin but BIG SHOW!! ON JULY 30-31 AUG 1-2 IN INDY
Busa all day just because I love these things Can’t help it
That 03 Busa. Can't wait to get the fairings for mine back to the stock colorway. Next to the 1st year copper it's definitely my favorite.

I love both, but the Busa for me, it fits me like a glove and I’m a little guy!!!!!!
Hayabusa because off the track it’s comfortable for long rides also.
Busa😍 6,2 170 lbs chose a little comfort with my sport💪🏽💯

Cycle drag is littlery one of the most satisfying thing to watch if your that kind of guy good stuff i like the sharper look of the gsx for shure
Glad to see real racers explain things and not those guys who just do roll ons
I love both bikes.i had a 1000 I love because I was light.but I own a gen 2 now for 4 years.and I love that too.but at the end of the day I'll take the busa.because I never had a problem with it
Love both, SUZUKI FANS here 💪
6’ 245lb and I sat on both..never rode either tho..busa was much more comfy for my size..I’d go w that
I'm going to ask a stupid question I'm sure....Why don't you see or hear too much about the H2 in drag racing?
I have both and prefer 1K in town but the Busa for more than an hour ride.
The horse power number don’t be right from the factory. Those number are based on crankshaft rotation. It a difference also
One is super sport "touring",.....one is super sport "racing".
Nice video Jack 👍👍 from B.C. 🇨🇦. I'd go with the GSXR 1000 . all comes down to power to weigh .
I’ve owned a 2013 hayabusa and the gsxr1000 my opinion the busa is a better ride tho on the flip side I traded up to a 2021 ZX14 out preformed both bikes…

Busa until the death of me 🏍💨💪🏾 5’8” 172lbs
Please believe,I'm working on getting my third one.
10:14 what's that MTC product..??
hayabusa or zx14r or h2 and which one is the most suitable for the actual fastest drag monster and which one is your choice?
I have had 2 SV's and currently a DL677. Drag raced all of them. So I say the Suzuki V-twins. I'd probably drag race a TLR if I had one. :)
Starting at 1:18, what year is this bike??
I pick both !
My '04 og owner GSXR1000 & GEN 2 '08 Busa

It's a Suzuki 100th anniversary, not GSXR. I know because I have the anniversary GSXR and it's only 30 years.

1k all the way I always go with the bike that’s faster

I got both depends on what you're doing a busa is durable and great for longer rides the 1000 is lighter especially if you're doing serious track
🤔 I think the question is What color zx10r are you getting...
Busa for drag. 1000 for track.
For me (142 pound) 5'10", I would prefer GSX1000R. Busa is a bit bulky....
Love the Busa!

2021 busa suppose to be bigger around 1400
No replacement for displacement, more space for a snail
GSX R is a more fun bike to ride in my opinion. It also looks a lot better as well. You really can't go wrong with either.
I'm only 135 pounds though
6’+/200lbs
-TEAM HAYABUSA🇺🇸🔥
Comfy/SAFE feel’in bike.
But,
LOVE t’get GSXR-1000 to toss round canyons.
Hey Brother,
I want 4 stickers for the Bike I'm building, where/how can I get it?
Any t-shirts also?
Busa torque for me 220 suited,, my busa has125 ft/lbs and 435 lb bike
My 2009 Hayabusa twin turbo for 1/4 mile
My GSXR 1g for the road and track. Better in turns

I own a busa, love it but i’m a skinny dude. I can handle it very well but i think i’d look better on a 1000 lol
Busa is the one more comfortable and puts power down when you need it.
This shouldn’t even be up for question... you should’ve did the Busa’s vs Zx14r’s or something Lol
It's all about the size of the rider. I have a busa but if I was a smaller guy I'd have a gsxr 1000
BUSA ALL THE WAY..
Owning both a 15 1000 and a 05 busa they’re monsters all the way around 😂
Which one has the most wins?
ANSWER: Cheaper to make the 1k and get more money.
Do they over rate the 1k and underrate the Busa? Stock side by side Dyno Test...!!! Someone...? !!!
What about BMWs Kawas Hondas and Yamahas??
Suzuki Gave the GSXR 1000 a little more Horse Power to Help sell the Bike. They Knew "THAT" alone Wouldn't make it come off the line any Faster UNLESS the Owner Performed Some Modifications i.e Stretched and Lowered.
Zx14 or zx10 next
I would take busa too... but why most of the people choosing suzuki for drag racing? Why there is no hondas or yamahas?
Gixxer like a model Busa like a BBW
I liked them both.
Gixxer 1000 all day. I mop the floor with Busa's all day.
Stop lying, guy. A busa would torch your ass!
The Legendary Busa...
I'm 5,11 and 260lbs and I've only ever rode gsxr1000s my 04 and 06 beats out my friends busa's
Idk why I'm watching this, I've never ridden a motorcycle
Busa!
Why is 1 make so prevalent in cycle drag
Hayabusa
A 998 cc or a 1299 cc?
Kenapa motor suzuki sangat digemari di dunia drag race ? Berikan saya jawaban yang baik
Busa boy for life!
I bought the new 2022 hayabusa
Congratulations 🙌🙌….how’s the comfort for longish (300 to 500kms) ride??
Busa Baby!
And my 2002 954 cbr fireblade weighs less than both ..
Only around 20lbs. You’re still shy 50+hp lol
GSXR1000 ALL DAY!
Hayabusa, period.
But I do like the 1000s too
I started on a 600cc gsxr then got a 1000rr now I have a Busa I would never ride anything else.
They are big on me buti love both givme the busa anyway
Busa is easy. Gsxr1000 demands and rewards perfection.
Busa is more touring
1000 is more racing
Stil busa is à beast
No Yamaha R1’s?
Gixxer ALL DAY ALL NIGHT ALL MY LIFE BABY 👶 😘 😁 😁 👍 👍 💯 💯 💪 💪
