@@grimey5.565 I believe the Honda Blackbird circa 1998 had linked brakes also. I’ve ridden those bikes and personally I couldn’t tell that partial rear brake came on when the front brake was applied. I remember quite split opinions on dual braking especially from those that thought they were riding gods, they would have you believe that it would upset the bike if the front brake was applied mid corner. However I read some technical reports on these linked systems from people with real skills and technical knowledge. Several maintained that it actually achieved the opposite and created a more stable braking situation especially when cranked over. Plus in addition many people including myself often only apply the front brake in an emergency situation. Although the lions share of braking is through the front wheel. Providing the rear wheel isn’t off the ground the rear brake will contribute to shortening the overall stopping distance when combined with the front brake. I said above that I couldn’t really tell a proportion of the rear brake was being applied but I can say without contradiction that when needing to rapidly slow down from 3 figure speeds the bike remained perfectly on track and I never experienced any rear end squirm. Back then there was very little intervention from the bike so perhaps that’s why that system got an underserved rap, however these days we are almost just pilots on our bikes having so many other things happening in milliseconds making our biking safer [hopefully] I don’t think I’d want a bike without ABS these days or traction control. If linked brakes were not worth having they wouldn’t be fitted and Brembo would likely steer clear. I’m currently trying to buy a gen3 Busa here in the IOM but my dealer does not have one. He’s telling me that sparkle black/orange is no longer available. He says that glossblck/Matt black is available now but the bike looks bland with no contrast. Therefore I am ordering storm grey with daring red which s available in November. However November is only 4 weeks away from December. It would seem more sense at that point to wait a few more weeks for the new bike and have it registered as a 2023 bike instead of 2022. However i then might face 2 new problems 1. Suzuki may raise the already steep price in the new year and the possible double whammy my dealer may drop the agreed px price due to my bike technically being a year older although in reality it would only be a few weeks. Why does the rider always get mm. I’m taking my bike to him next week and see if he will hold a price until the first week in January., when I hopefully pick upas the new beast.

Only just saw this vid! I've had my 2022 black Busa for about a year, I got one of the first ones in Australia. All the big stuff on this bike is superb; power, suspension, cornering, stability, electronics, quality etc. You can tell Suzuki REALLY cared about this bike it is premium. The things I don't like are all little stuff; it leans over too far on the stand, it is awful to push around especially on grass, it gets hot on the legs in stop start city traffic, reach to the bars is just a bit longer than perfect comfort (for me). But like I said, little stuff. The ECU mapping wont give the bike full throttle until 5000 rpm (re Chris Moores videos) so under 5000 it is a real gentle pussycat grandma could ride it. Above 5000 wow watch out! I rode litre bikes for a lot of years and this is not a racetrack bike. But to be fair I would probably pick a 750 as a track bike anyway these days... And it is not a good commuter bike for city traffic. But on the open road it is fantastic, good comfort, classy ride and massive speed, more like a GT car class... like a proper high speed long distance touring car. I thought long and hard before plonking down $27k but I am very happy! That engine is something, the changes they made boosted the midrange about 10% in power for the gen3. As a comparison, even though peak hp is similar to a modern litre bike a Yammy R1 at 5000 rpm makes 65 hp. The gen3 Busa at 5000 rpm makes 120 hp! Think about that for a moment. And then it just goes up from there, if you compare the dyno charts that might help litre bike guys understand why I chose the big girl. It is not all about minimum weight and fastest flickability, it is about brutal power when actually TRAVELLING and that weight irons out all the bumps and makes it super stable. I said to my mate, "Imagine a litre bike, and the Incredible Hulk f#cked it... and then it gave birth to the Busa" It's half sport bike, half hulk.

That's it, there's a few big bike downsides, but really the usability and performance is just ridiculously good, especially compared to many of the superbikes which boast similar power. How the Hayabusa puts it down is something else, and it's a great tourer too.

I bought my 22 Busa a couple of months ago on an impulse when I went to look at another CBR and I have to say, it is my favorite bike I've ever owned. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I fell in love with it. The features it comes with "out of the box" are insane and it definitely draws attention and sparks up conversations wherever I take it. I'm a small guy at 5'10" and 130lbs, so moving around a 600lb bike in my garage or backing up is hilarious. The only thing I don't think you mentioned was the quick shift that comes stock. Being able to not worry about the clutch when you want to take off like a jet is great and the transition between gears is so smooth that you don't even feel the shift if you do it right. My only complaint so far, is there's very little options when it comes to aftermarket parts since the bike is still pretty new, but those parts will come in time.

The quick shift isn't really meant to be used when you're just out for a stroll or in stop and go traffic, you really need to be giving it some gas for it to operate properly. I live in the country so I'm always taking off like a jet so I use the quickshifter 90% of the time and never have any issues. Also a side note, people think you still have to release the throttle when you quick shift and you don't. You still roll the throttle while shifting.

I don't understand why people buy a bike for street riding and start to complain it does not have over 200 horsepower. The busa has about 95% of horsepower and gets the 186mph that modern Japanese bikes are limited to. However, I can understand having over 200 horsepower so one can run into a car traveling at the speed limit since the bike is not designed to stop in time.

Forst of all like this review. It,s honest. I never been to attracted to the Hayabusa until now. I ride a 2012 BMW K 1300s. So it’s quite similar do to the big engine it has. That’s also where the similarities stop between the two. Things that attract me to this bike are the double exhaust pipes, the analogue gages, durability and so on. 🧐. I might go for a test ride.

Really good review. Just one question. How does it go over long distance. I'm 41 and although I love the sport bike look my body says no. I leaning towards the super naked bikes like the Ducati streetfighter or the Aprilia tuono but have always had a soft spot for the buses?

@MotoJournoKris

I'd say much better than a sportsbike in most regards comfort-wise, but the 'bars are still relatively low compared to a Streetfighter or Tuono. I think long distance you'd be tucked in, so in that scenario if you're a good fit, you might actually find it more comfortable than some nakedbikes. The trade-off is for the more casual riding when you're sitting up more that's less of a benefit. Might also come down to whether you're feeling like you're having to look up too much when you are tucked in, which could cause a bit of neck strain.

It will be interesting to see what this system Suzuki have put in place on the Busa functions.

Largely because a gen 3 isn’t much more than a gen 1 with newer bits and bobs added to it tbh.

@@Bobby-wn5yr so not true… gen 3 has the same 1340cc as the gen 2 with the exception of more restrictive throttle bodies, etc. for Euro 5 emissions compliance. I own a gen 3 and another thing is the stock tune sucks, throttle response is not as strong as it can be and there are dead spots throughout the rpm range.

@@Bobby-wn5yr Not really, I think your statement would be more accurate if you said it was like a gen 2 with a lot of emissions restrictions and rider technology/bits and bobs vs saying it’s like a gen 1 with extra bits and bobs. Reason is due to the engine. Regardless, Gen 2 seems to be the clear winner for power/lbs.

200 hp is nice but you forget that it’s got gobs of torque. Go put it up against some of those 200hp bikes and then tell me what you think. The Busa is still king of the naturally aspirated bikes

I judge myself for ruling this bike out on looks tbh. I get it’s an awesome sports tourer, and you don’t have to look at it when you’re on it, but yeah I like a lot of different types of bikes, I just never seem *want* this bike. I think it’s like 70% looks, 30% douche by association.

Then don't buy a Hayabusa. I prefer the Hayabusa, and the ZX14, even the Honda NC750 DCT. In fact I wouldn't ride or drive any BMW if I was offered one for nothing. I like the stability and comfort of the Hayabusa, so I won't buy a BMW SS1000 RR. How lucky we are we don't all have to own the same machine....

I am going to say that we all appreciate beauty in different ways. This being stated the benchmark for these types of bikes is lightness and in this department the Suzuki fails miserably. MSN just did a review of superbikes and the BMW S1000RR was the overall rated winner. I have the BMWS1000R Sports and there is no way it will be changing places in the garage even at a similar price of purchase. Good video btw.

I reckon the S 1000 R is the pick for a road bike honestly, as amazing as the S 1000 RR is most of the superbikes have gotten more and more track orientated in recent years. While their popularity has also continued to drop off. But the Hayabusa won't compete or win on weight against a superbike, it's just a much more road friendly machine, while still offering ridiculous power and now a fairly extensive electronics package. Obviously that's not a direct superbike replacement if you specifically want just a superbike of course.

Did you really just compare the Busa to an S1000rr ? Let’s see, one of these bikes is designed for torque, stability, and comfort, the other is basically a track bike made for the street. Personally I don’t even consider the Busa a super bike, I’d put it in the sport touring category.

@@My.name.goes.here. Yep it much more falls into the sport touring category, which is often a very do-it-all option, where one bike can handle everything from commuting through to touring. If you want just a track bike, there's little overlap, if you want a powerful sporty faired road bike, I reckon some people would probably find the Hayabusa a much more usable everyday machine, capable of at least some of the same thrills.

Imo this is a super bike in any measure. It’s priced lower than those “super bikes” only because Japan can make these at much lower costs because of popularity and number of production that cuts down a lot of overhead costs for each bike!

It won't handle the track like a traditional superbike, but it's on par for basically everything else, and more usable in many ways on the road.
