CRF 300L?

The absolutely insane thing about motorcycles, which honestly was part of why i first got into bikes, is the fact that, as seen right here, either with the Hayabusa or with other models like the Yamaha R1 or Kawasaki H1, the absolute cream of the top, best of the best, hypersport superbikes that are exactly or nearly exactly the same models used in the top racing series in the world, are "accessible" to common people. Financially speaking. Just think about that, a Hayabusa is "only" twice the price of a mid-tier bike such as a Ninja 636 or a Yamaha R6. You just dont see that with cars. You cant walk into a showroom as a middle-income regular dude that currently drives a Nissan, and even think about buying a Ferrari F50, ever, in your entire life. Nor can you think about buying a Lamborghini Aventador. Or a Bugatti Veyron. But with motorcycles, you can. They are within reach. It's possible to own the top end "luxury" best bikes in the world. And that's what makes this whole hobby so amazing. You're allowed to dream, and if you work hard, you at least have a chance to achieve it. With supercars, its almost.... Pointless to dream? Pointless to take the hobby further than just a "watch cars on tv / youtube" thing. Because you know you'll never have any shot in hell at owning them, so you never dive "too" deep, because you'd just be disappointed. You keep distance.

You forgot to mention that a new supersport bike will be able to brake racing records of 20 years ago. This is unattainable for sportscars.

I've owned a supercharged Kawasaki H2 SX SE since they were released in 2018. It's another heavy hitter like the Hayabusa. The answer to the question "why?" is easy - because I want to. We can argue about practicality, comfort, etc. but whether you ride Sport, Touring, Cruiser, Adventure, Dirtbike or whatever, most of us buy them because we want to. We leave the car at home and ride - because we want to, because we enjoy it. Ian's review captured a good point that is often missed. These big powerful bikes, like the Hayabusa, have strong, smooth power delivery so they're sweet to ride at the low end of the rpm range too. Yes, they're a thrill when opened up, but most of the time you can ride around like a sensible human knowing that you can twist-and-go without even changing down gear.

No, your presumption is wrong. You must be thinking of the H2R. I own the H2 SX SE - the sport tourng version that Ian mentioned as a possible competitor to the Haybusa. Maintenance intervals are similar to other bikes I've owned. Some maintenance tasks are more involved, due to the complexity of the bike, but still simple enough that I'm able to do all my own maintenance.

Your concluding comment really touched me. Thank you for this through review. I think you described very well how it is like riding Hayabusa. Let me quote. “It’s a moving and emotional and almost spiritual experience in terms of the adrenaline and the chemicals that it can activate in your brain. The experience of riding it and feeling the acceleration and being connected to the machine is not something that myself or I think anyone could really put into words.”

Great review. You have a natural ability to be informative.

"You don't have sense of how fast you're going with this bike" That was the only thing that ever scared me about my 2 'Busas. It handles speed so well that it let's you forget how dangerous those speeds are should something ever go wrong.

@iansians6703

Yep, that is the Busa difference. Rode my Gen 1 for the first time in 2001 and that was the sense of it - going 120kph felt like 80-90kph, realised that I actually should slow down for corners, felt like I shouldn't - insane feeling, completely different to any other bike I've ever ridden. Gen 2 was the same and can't see why the Gen 3 would be different. Respect is the key requirement for this bike, if you have this you will enjoy it at all levels. Maturity helps as well. When the idiots in V8s try to drag you at the lights, you can sit back knowing that you can beat them any day, just not today if you choose, and keep your licence.

It was said that there were 2 Kamikaze survivors of WWII...each of them designed this original 1300cc engine for Suzuki, and 1400cc for Kawasaki back in 70s...and the guy who made Suzuki rode and broke the speed of light, with the guy on Kawasaki chasing behind him...they both vanished as they broke through the space-time continuum, some says that we can occasionally see their tire tread mark in the sky thinking its meteors...so Suzuki decided to tone down the engine power and we mere mortals get the versions that are being sold today...only a story someone told me...must be a legend.

Your sophisticated reviews are greatly appreciated Ian. The instrument cluster of the Busa is sublime....which is reason enough to have one.

The dash alone is worth buying it. Other manufactures take note. A very good review of this bike and also your observations on the power of this bike apply equally to other super naked or super sport bikes as they have the same issues of hyper performance. In the wrong hands they are widow makers, as indeed, we know any bike can be but these especially as the speed and power as you rightly emphasize is immense, intoxicating and addictive. Control being the operative word. Losing your license is the least of your worries. Being alive at the end of the day would be the biggest concern for me riding this bike. I have owned a Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird, a mint low mileage one, which was fast and super smooth, but obviously didn't have all the electronics of this bike. The acceleration and speed was exhilarating.

Thank you for another first rate video. Keep with the great work. I've ridden a Gen 1 model and really enjoyed it. I rode it back-to-back with a GSX-R1000 and found the Hayabusa to be much more stable above 100 mph. Both machines were quite a bit faster than the VFR800 I owned at the time. The experience was definitely an eye opening (and eye-watering) experience.

Definitely an informative, enjoyable and useful review. I've watched lots of Busa Vids and Big Rock Moto is up right there with the best of them. Your presentation was faultless and didn't waste any words. Thank You. I hope to test a Gen3 model before I get much older.

"Hayabusa'...peregrine falcon..eats Blackbirds". Love it. And, you've outdone yourself with this great review.

Great video. The info you give is excellent, love to see you keep trying different bikes.

Just ordered a 2023 yesterday. Can't wait till it arrives! This was very informative. Subbed.

so a friend loaned me his Gen 1 Busa while my BMW k1200 rs was being repaired. This amazing machine had been in a pretty serious accident and had everything plastic replaced along with a new clutch and front brake. The bike also has 84k miles on it. Being used to my BMW, I was skeptical about riding this beast. I am proud to say that she won me over in the first week of riding her. Yes, the riding position is aggressive- however, the length and bar position for me, were very easy to get used to. To say nothing of the sheer power of this magnificent machine, she is surprisingly agile. I've had some of the best rides of my life on this Hayabusa and have become a believer. In the coming months, I will be laying down a fist full of cash for a 2024, silver/red Hayabusa( don't tell my wife). If the new Gen 3 is as awesome as the first Gen, I know I will be a happy man. Oh, and I am still waiting on my BMW :(

I have had over 80 bikes in my life and 12 where Suzukis Great machines at a great price a very reliable High class review as always….if I had one nit pick it would be to possible smile once in a while. I watch all of your videos and you seem slightly angry in each But again just a bit pick and you are a master class bike review guy!

I'm late but this was a very impressive review. Thorough, concise, and well articulated. I'm contemplating whether or not I want to purchase a new Hayabusa. Thanks and safe riding!

Fantastic review. Thank you for putting this together!

I can't have a sports bike any more since I would just lose my license the way things are now here in the UK , plus the condition of roads mean adventure bikes are more practical. However, I am overjoyed that mad fast bikes like this are still being made, and the temptation is agonising! Really comprehensive look at the bike, well done.

It's been a trip to vicariously experience the 'busa through your two excellent, entertaining and informative reviews. I've never been a pure sport-bike rider since my love is long-distance touring and my Concours has been just right for me. As I plan and dream about my next bike, I find the new technologies exciting and mind-boggling. You're definitely helping with this quest. Thanks.

I think the easist thing in the world would be to simply make an adventure bike with the Hayabusa engine. It's a no brainer. I mean, it would compete with all the large heavy adventure bikes, but it would have the advantage of being smoother, more powerful, and it sounds so raspy and mean, and there is no competition for it, since there aren't any inline 4 cylinder adventure bikes, which would help it sell, because it would have no direct competition. The Hayabusa engine is so popular for aftermarket parts, so it would be the perfect adventure bike engine, even if it's a bit too big and unwieldly. Because you could buy parts for the engine anywhere in the world. They could merely stick an overdrive gear in the Hayabusa engine, change the final drive to make it shorter, make the clutch slightly easier to pull, retard the timing a tiny bit, and put a slightly heavier flywheel on it, and then done, you have the best ADV bike in the world. I fully expect that they will come to their senses and build a Hayabusa engine adventure bike.

Many thanks for an excellent pair of reviews. Unlike so many others on KZread or elsewhere you absolutely get it - your summary, expressed more elequontly than I ever could, matches almost exactly how I feel. I owned a Gen 2 and had never felt such an emotional attachment to a bike - always regretted selling it! Bought myself one of these last summer after my local dealer (UK) lent me his demonstrator for a couple of days so I could make sure my 74 year old body would still cope with long days in the saddle - having previously moved on via a ZX-14R/ZZR to a more upright K1300R . What a wonderful machine, so easy to ride and in answer to another comment on here I'd suggest that the advanced electronics just enhance the riding experience and improve safety - the previous bike was just as powerful but only had abs with a fairly crude traction control system. Will use mine for day long ride-outs and touring Europe - lots of owners in this part of the world do the same.

"This is not a comfortable riding position." I do appreciate you demonstrating this and expounding on it. There are many out there saying this is really comfortable for all-day touring, but that really challenges my inferences about it just looking at the riding geometry and only having sat on one at the dealership (haven't gotten a chance to ride one yet).

Hello thank you for the review. As a Gen II Hayabusa owner I relate to a lot of what you said. This is a well thought out review and very professional. I am in the process of thinking of upgrading however the Gen II that I have ticks all my boxes. Your passage towards the end regarding how this bike makes you feel is spot on! As a past owner of many fast sport bikes including the supercharged Kawasaki Ninja H2 I can vouch for the Hayabusa as being the best all rounder including something you didnt mention and that is having a pillion in relative comfort to share that unique riding experience. The H2 CANNOT do this!!! Thanks again I appreciate your great presentation 👍👍👍 Regards Jeffro (Australia 🇦🇺 )

Great review, thanks

I've spent over 12 years on two Hayabusas (2 Gen) - and have to admit that you are mostly right. It's very good for touring, it's quite nimble in the city (assuming you got some skills), what I'd add to it is that apart from specs etc - it gives you this feeling when you notice that all other riders pay respect for it and do not try to race, and even those people not specially interested in motorcycles gonna recognise this one of the kind bike :)

The gen 3 busa is a fantastic motorcycle, I've had the gen 1&2 now and really enjoyed them but this gen 3 is slightly more comfortable and refined. Quite simply a fantastic bike, both commuting or a 400 mile in a day machine. .

Excellent excellent video , I have just purchased the 2022 hayabusa and owned a gen 1 and 2 I found myself agreeing with most if not all of what you said. I went with the new one due to the electronic additions and the low to mid range torque increases One main reason to have this bike also is upgradeability (tuning etc)

Thank you for the great review, what a fantastic feat of human engineering.

Well versed commentary thank you.

Really good and thoughtful review. I have recently bought and customized a gen 1. It's a wonderful machine. It's a pity we're moving to a world where this kind of experiences are to be forbideen.

Hi BRM, Great video - very informative. I owned two of the Gen 1s and really enjoyed the versatility. It is a great allrounder. You can ride at any pace, with excellent predictability that inspires confidence and enhances the overall enjoyment of riding the machine. You can mix it up with sport bikes or cruise along along with the cruisers. The pillion grab rail is set low on purpose. Just like the matt finish to the internal face of the rims, Suzuki's designers did their homework. A low set grab rail, keeps your arms almost straight as a pillion - enabling the optimal ergonomic position to keep your mass from moving forward or back under extreme acceleration and aggressive braking. The bike is lightyears away from being a pig. Yes, it is a little heavier than a pure sport bike, but no where near some of the larger cruisers. Ridden smoothly the bike handles incredibly well and will carry high cornering speed in tight twisties without complaint. Ridden aggressively, it also handles incredibly well, it just needs a little more front end grip respect in corner entry than a lighter sports bike. So, practice your braking ability. Braking well is the key. Wash of the straight line speed with aggressive braking (that the bikes long wheel base enables with great stability) then settle it in smoothly to the apex, with a light trailing of the rear brake. Smoothly power it out, with high foot pressure applied to the outside peg (to weight of the rear), driving through the rear brake. Blast to the next corner and repeat. Right now I'm torn between the Gen 3 and S1000RR (yes the Busa is that good). What it lacks against a pure sports bike, it makes up for in spades in ride comfort and stabile high speed road presence. Ah, no I don't work for Suzuki. Just an appreciative customer that thinks anyone in the market for new toy, should test ride one the first chance you get.

Great video Ian your channel has become top notch hands down my favorite. The Busa review is very informative I've only owned one sport bike and way back in the eighties I sold my Honda 550/4 to purchase a used Honda V45 interceptor 1983 model low miles beauty used it as a commuter put 10000 miles without any issues I regretted selling it for years.

First off, thank you for (as usual) an intelligent and informative video. You stand head and shoulders above the usual KZread offerings. Whilst the 'busa is no doubt an example of excellent engineering and design, being old fashioned, I think that if such a degree of electronic control is needed, then the bike is just too powerful. Electronics at this level are surely more suited (IMO) to aircraft and I mean fighter jets, not Cessna 150s! The multiplicity of choices in the various modes is mind boggling. There are so many other bikes in the same category too, that seem to be designed as much for bragging rights as normal, even spirited road use.

practically every bike with more than 100BHP on the market these days has electronic rider aids that compare to what is on this Suzuki. It is not just a matter of "too much power" though that is a consideration on the superbikes pushing close to or above 200BHP. It is also just the market evolving and the industry wanting to offer more.

The busa has the girth and length to do some things better than other bikes. At the end if the day it's just cool though. I would prefer if the manufacturers stick to 100hp or so and make the bikes lighter, simpler, with better brakes, and with at least a few different suspension set ups for different weights. Everything is built to be more complex. Just the way the world is now.

Am I ready now after almost 40 years of riding, begun at 9 years old, and more than 1,5 million kilometers??!! Hmmmm.... I'm not sure... I'm into adventure bikes right now... But let me tell you that being over a bike at 250 and more and feeling stable and secure and being at any place half the time you should drive with any other vehicle, makes life very very exiting... You some guys know what I'm talking about.... That feeling.... Now at 48years and my back with some titanium "gear" makes me think that it's now or never, before I get older.... My st12 re has 122.000kns in 4 years, so I'm doing fine but a busa I think will make me run the beast inside of me riding the hell out of it... Might go and try one... But I know that If I try.... Next, being in the tvnews... And no license...

Such a graceful looking bike

No other bike out there has such a HUGE cult following as the Hayabusa, that's not a myth but a Fact.

I bought the white/blue 22 hayabusa and I love it. Plenty fast enough tons of torque

I sat on one of these in a dealership in Bend OR last month and it is very aggressive in it’s riding position and is definitely not a sport touring bike. The one I saw was the Silver color but the Black is the one I like. I think this is a piece of Art.

At first the riding position seemed too much (I ride a super naked), but once I adjusted, I appreciated the outstanding quality feel of that bike. Its smooth, manageable and the power is immense when you tap it. There is no substitute for a naturally aspirated big inline4. Another thing is that the seat is comfortable, surprisingly for pillion too. I will add bar risers and drop pegs to mine and ride far and fast, because that engine is simply amazing.

Hello, this is your second video I watched. Yes, Busa biased. I shall watch other videos in the future. I don't think there is any one Motorcycle that is perfect at everything. Each person needs to make an informed decision. I have the Height, Strength needed for the Busa. My 1st Motorcycles was a Suzuki SV650S, 2001, blue color scheme. This is one of the best all around. Perfect for a beginner, yet fun enough for any level of rider. Look at all the Racing done with this as the main contender. In 2005 Suzuki made the frame for the SV650/SV1000 very similar. I wish they still made the SV1000S, I liked the Silver. Easy to put a power commander on with the Yoshimura exhaust cannisters. For the 2005 SV650S, blue that I had. After 15K miles I needed new tires. The stock was 120/60/17 Front, 160/70/17 Rear ? I switched to 120/70/17 Front, 170/60/17 Rear. That made a huge difference in the ride quality. Keep up the great video's.

Excellent review. Thanks. I recently bought one (white/blue) for $16,599 so there are some deals to be had. I'm an old guy so what I did was lower the foot pegs (1 1/2'') and raised the bars (1'') and it transformed to ergonomics to make it quite comfortable. As you know the seat is much more comfortable than a typical sports bike. Anyway, after having ridden a few hundred miles I completely agree with your comments on the bike. It's a very special piece of motorcyle history. Great job.

picked up 6 month ago with 10k on the clock now, tbh i was not a fan of busa or big a$$ sport touring bikes, but this bike is shockingly satisfying to commute, in the twisty and even racing. yes, its not the most powerful bike, not even in top 5, top10 right now but the riding quality and smoothness of power is something ive never experienced before. plus it turned more heads than my mate's ducati V4 (cops too)xd. Seems like everybody knows what hayabusa stands for, like the GTR but in 2 wheels lol

4:28 "we have to cover the elephant in the room, which is not the GSA behind me" I'm dead

Nice thing to note about the Busa is, yes, its heavy. But few other bikes on the market can you drop 50-100 pounds as quickly with the aftermarket support. We also used to joke about people getting their motorcycle license or MSF and immediately getting a Busa.....but with the electronics Suzuki has put on these bikes, going from a 300cc starter bike to one of these gen 3's isn't even crazy anymore.

The textured panel reminds me of feathers. Which would go great with the actual name of the bike. I will be owning one of these in the near future once my MT-09 is paid off.

I've been doing the research. After all of these years, the Hayabusa still makes most of the Top 10 fastest bikes lists for 2023. There are numerous videos on KZread showing turbo Hayabusas beating Kawasaki H2's on the drag strip. Also, people always talk about the weight of the Hayabusa, but the Kawasaki H2 SX SE weighs about 9lbs more and has a 1.3 inch higher seat.

One thing he missed and is kinda nice is the fact the gen 3 has duel link braking. It is not talked about much but when reading the owners manual it describes the new functions. So far love the bike and just swapped the exhaust for the full alienhead 2 system.

I'm not a fan. Just more plumbing and suzuki cheaped out and put rubber brake lines on their top tier bike...

Right. So cool...it activates 30% to the rear brake through front brake.
