What's your thoughts on the 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa?
They kept that same 1340cc motor. The zx 14r is still 100cc larger. More torque more horsepower. As 14r is still king. This is just a euro5 refresh. Nothing more
I couldn't be more disappointed!
Same old 1340cc engine with less hp and worse fuel range? This 2021 model introduction is generating the opposite reaction that the first Hayabusa model did back in 1998, so much disappointment. What happened to the rivalry between the Japanese motorcycle companies? I was hoping for a more powerful TURBO engine to challenge the supercharged Kawasaki...🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
Im not a Hayabusa customer but I was mildly impressed with the model. And I really wish my 2015 GSXR had those rearview mirrors but with integrated blinkers! A small detail with great design unusual on past Suzuki sport bikes.
Wow! I used to hate the Busa but now I just really really don't like it.
A huge Thanks to Suzuki for keeping the tacho and speedo analog ❤️
True, converting them to fully digital would have a spoiled the original theme and charm
Analogue gauges are better in cars and bikes full stop. Just a bit more satisfying.
Yep. That and the brakes are the only good decisions they made here.
And thank you for keeping the ue in analogue and not spelling it analog... 😁😁🤣👍
@@YukonDemon Analogue Gauges give you a target to get to haha
Am I the only one thinking, “look at all those crates of goodness in the background 😍🤤”?
You are not alone
Same
Those crates are blast of happiness, which will deliver to the different part of the world to some Lucky costumes.
I am with you bro....
I want a surprise box.
The man is calm, honest and precise, which makes him really cool; the video editing is also too good! Overall a great comeback hayabusa!
Are You Reviewing Hayabusa or Reviewing The who Gives Hayabusa Review 😂😂
@@sanketmale9946 LOOOOL
Honest ? When they first show the bike he says they were expecting something more modern and 2 min later he says they like that they stayed with the classic look.
@@BigBrother88 well we all go from first impressions to understating that its a successor and that it should look similar. The 911 analogy was right on.
Honest? It's okay to expect something and be pleased with something else. And there's not language or logic flaw there.
Just WOW, i respected Suzuki for keeping the iconic Hayabusa design, it really reminds me of those armory from shogun japanese era, marvelous!
You know Neeves is an important figure in the moto community when he gets exclusives like that. His opinion is respected in the industry.
Agree , just a pity he expresses himself as if he's showing you a washing machine.
@@WyreForestBiker I don't mind that at all. I actually dislike the kind of fake over-hyping, exaggerated excitement some presenters display. To me, Neeves's passion, knowledge, and experience comes through pretty clearly in the way he talks and how carefully he chooses his words.
@@WyreForestBiker too often personalities get in the way of the info mix - the balance is bang on with this chap. Essential!
@@magellanicspaceclouds you are right 👍
I like Neevesy, when I see his video, I hit play.
Trust MCN to deliver an excellent measured overview of the new bike - much appreciated!
RikkyTang! Let's hope you get a chance in the future to review this lovely bike Rikky.
@@wakajawaka44 I hope so! The shop I've been working with is a Suzuki dealer... I better start being extra nice to them now haha 😁
For the first time I have seen a review about a bike or a car, which is not only comprehensive but also makes perfect sense.
Well I’ve had three consecutive Busas and loved them all. It’s an iconic bike that’s true and will always be so, now that I’m approaching my 72nd birthday I am at least tempted to have a look at this revised model, and who knows what impulse thoughts I may get. Absolutely love it.
You should go for it man. Life is too short!
I still have 08 and 12 ZX14 ,wanted something for city riding,believe me when I say this bike will make you feel like 18 again,2020 KTM 1290 Super Duke R. Not 72,but my first new street bike was 1975 H1500.
MCN have really raised their game over the last six years. This man and his colleagues deserve a Pat on the back.
Happy they kept dash simple like old busa instead of slapping a long tablet 😃
Agreed, I Liked the old dash setup and like this one too, its special looking.
And I hope it never changes, always a blast from the past, the bike is and always will be a legendary machine, will always be THE Beast of the streets
🇮🇳
Hell yes!
I so very much agree. There is no bike like the busa . honoured to have one in the family
I am happy they didn't change the style of the Hayabusa. When you see it coming down the street you know it's a Hayabusa. Don't change a legend. You can upgrade the inside but you can't change what people know and love about the legendary Hayabusa. Don't change what is the best part of the Hayabusa.
The best begginers bike is back
😂
We are living in a unique point in history. The end of unique bikes. The bikes of the last ten years will be amazing classics in the coming years when electric bikes become the norm. We will talk about them in the same way as people talk about muscle cars of the late 60’s and how cheaply you could buy them. The hyabusa will be right up there. Well done Suzuki .
I feel like the H2, the busa, and maybe even the R1 are the swan song bikes of the Japanese brands. I’m gonna resist electric for as long as possible, but inevitably one day the clutch and the exhaust note on a downshift will be gone. I hope we still get to ride track until I’m dead.
we will measure the power of the bikes by watts instead of cc in the near future. LOL 👍
New world . in every space of it.. Hhh. The kids buying these new bikes will argue about it. Say no way your old bike is faster. I tell them its. Such a turn off to pay a premium price for a bike that's not un corked. Why I didn't buy the new cbr1000rrr or even the cheaper new zx10rr. Stuck in limbo now ,keep saving my money till I figure were things are going. Maybe by then I'll have a good chunk of money to put down, or just move on from two wheels to something else.
Well Electric bikes will come for sure but I guess by innovations maybe we could get bikes that sound and feel like our old bikes.
Quiet bikes are dangerous to ride cause nobody will hear you. Motorcycles are like invisible for many drivers.
If they introduce engine noise in a electric bike, ill be ok.
I wish more manufactures used analog speedometers and tachometers on their bikes. He put it very well, feels like the digital clocks are very sterile.
Ride by wire is SUPER STERILE, so the clocks are the least of the woes - but I agree %100.
Lol I'm glad to here I'm not the only one. The new tft on my BMW S1000RR M is cool but man I miss my old S1000RR 2018 cluster. It had just enough of new and old for my liking. Surprised there's not an Autopilot button on these new bikes.
But people can fix analogs themselves and thats a big no for companies nowadays
@Bart Garrison There's also a lot of research that shows that a needle on a gauge is faster for a rider or driver to read and understand and then return their focus to the road ahead. The move towards technical dashes is almost entirely driven by reviewers convincing buyers that they want a modern display without old school clunky clocks. Whether that's because they're getting money under the table or because all of us are idiots chasing the spirit of technologic progress regardless of whether or not it's ACTUALLY progress is... Harder to say than I wash it was
I think the way Suzuki has done it on this bike is PERFECT. I don't think there is a better solution. It's the cleanest dash I've seen in a long time. Tired of all the shitty screens.
i thought the new busa would get a turbocharged, supercharged 12 cylinder that makes zillion horsepower....
Cheaper to get ghostrider to build you a 500 HP turbo busa...
One word: Aftermarket
It’s a sport tourer. TOURER
And 47 gears for fast and furious 17
delusion
In my humble opinion, the 1.Gen Hayabusa is still even today the best looking bike that has ever been produced. The 1st time I saw the Busa, I instantly thought that's a dream bike and I'm actually still looking for a white one in a good condition. Regards from Switzerland
I'm really mesmerized how they've still managed to put Busa elements. They've not changed the look completely and that's a good initiative.❤️
Exactly...
I think it looks lovely. Strong & elegant. It reminds me of the Bugatti Chiron.
Unlike BMW changing whole S1000RR front look which was so iconic
Of course they managed to put busa element, its a same bike basically lol. Just lot of small change here and there.
@@ardijanuar2036 show me any newer model bike that's had huge improvements then...on paper it doesn't seem like much but a lot has changed
ua-cam.com/video/fyN8JXInTtk/v-deo.html
I bought a new Busa in 2001, when I was in Singapore and put 25,000km on it, mostly in Malaysia. It ate miles very quickly and I have fond memories of it. I like the new one and I am glad is has remained as an evolution of the original, full markes to Suzuki who have persevered to meet Euro5 regs.
I love how they kept the very characteristic look of the Busa.
Oh my she aged well, and I love how time has treated her, all though I'm gonna always have a soft spot for Honda I'd love to see a new super blackbird too
I'm with you there. I loved every minute of my XX until I sold her 10 years ago. An unbelievable mile muncher with a full load - simply awesome bike. :-)
@@deldridg Agreed 100%, and almost exactly the same with me... I sold my Blackbird around 10 years ago, cause I bought a Busa. I LOVED my BB, and in many ways, I think it was a better bike than the Busa (I *DO* love the Busa though). Actually, I feel like the perfect bike would have the Blackbirds chassis, brakes and ergonomics with a 90 degree V-twin that could run with a Busa or ZX14... something in the 1400cc range. With Honda's engineering and reliability? Man, that would be one hell of a bike.
+1.
A reissue of the Blackbird would be a bike I'd want to see for sure.
That was one great machine silky smooth.
That rear end looks absolutely mental!
I think they nailed blending the looks of the previous generation vs the future. The rear end design used to be a bit perplexing.
Only great improvement on the bike
Finally the front and back DONT lookalike
@@greylove1522 what about electronic controls and features ??
@@anandthandav3641 They are nice too. The Kyb suspension and Brakes in my opinion is the best upgrade to it. I just really like the new tail section.
What a treat for my Friday breakfast: a full-length review by Michael Neeves and a gorgeous looking, new Hyabusa! It looks stunning in that black and gold!
I can’t express more how big of a smile I have on my face after seeing the reveal
probably the best motorcycle review
I’d never get sick of looking at that bike.
You'll in 5 years time.
@@nastyscorp Youll log
@@pjp6134 that’s what my plan was for my Panigale but my wife started to give me pelters every time I mentioned it 😄
You don’t find it dated ?
@@maxflight777 I see where you’re coming from but it wouldn’t be a Hayabusa if it looked completely different. I’m glad they’ve kept the similar shape and lines. It was way ahead of its time anyway IMO.
I couldn’t agree more on the analogue speedometer. Love it.
I loved this review! The presenters laid back style was just perfect for this super bike!
Best bike I ever owned, 2004 red and black Hayabusa , Sherbrooke to Quebec City in a very very short time ! 😎
The first thing that I said after seeing this bike is “ WOW “
Same here!!! It’s a masterpiece
A lot of haters around but I also think it looks pretty sweet!
@Chris james Daughtrey don't forget that a pretty big chunk of the costs is due to the massive amount of research and engineering that took place to make this bike.
@Chris james Daughtrey Yeah i was hoping for price to be somewhat close to old gen.
@@patrickspapens5497 In my country its like more than 50% price hike from 2018-2019 model.
I really like the way Neevesy presents his videos, calm, collected, knowledgeable. I like this version a lot 👍🏻
Probably the best reviews and honest criticism i have ever seen. Clean, crisp and professional! I am expecting an on-road review for over a month now. Please post it soon!!!
The Busa deserve this man to deliver a proper review
Never have I experienced a more uncontrollable smile on my face. That reveal gave me goosebumps. And I'm not even that big a fan. It's just that the legend of the 'busa is too mighty to ignore❤️❤️
But Suzuki ignored the legend.
@@SHIFT-ED debatable. But I get where you're coming from
@@SHIFT-ED absolutely not. They've updated the Busa with lots of respekt for the legend, kept the look and the analog dashboard (I love it!)
What they haven't done is to build the strongest and fastest bike on the planet, and that is totally right! We don't have 1999 anymore and in 2021 we have only here in Germany some sections of our Autobahn without speed limit.
And the Busa was always more than top speed on a straight line!
@@thomaslilge7867 Always more than top speed in a straight line, I agree with that, but the whole reason behind the creation of the Hayabusa was to be the fastest in the world, Suzuki ignoring that... that takes away from the legend...
Kawasaki: ' is he back ??'
Ducati : ' yup '
Bmw:😨😨😨😢😢
Exactly what i thought
yea but I'm pretty sure there laughing instead of being shocked lol
@@khaledmaher6602 Yeah I doubt Kawasaki or Ducati - both with lighter bikes and over 10% more power - are even slightly worried. More like celebrating.
Doubt Ducati even cares if I'm honest, they've never made a bike to compete with the Busa. Sure they could if they wanted to.
@@JMLueckeA7X Well they're already getting 20hp more from a significantly smaller engine. They really wouldn't struggle.
Just sold my Gen 1 the other day, 39k miles and she was still pulling like a beast and running great!!
The Peregrine falcon is back ♥️♥️♥️😭😭
I actually got goosebumps at the reveal... Neevesy knows how to summarise bikes better than anyone out there.
Yeah, I nearly fell asleep at his sleepy delivery lol. The future is with 44 teeth alt media rather than old pipe and slippers MCN.
@@tonebonetones It's great to see new people in the space but I wish 44T would stop wanking off whoever lends them a bike. They never say anything critical and dance around negatives to frame them like they're positive.
I felt the same!
Great review as usual neevese'y talks,,,,, I'm interested ,,,he does his homework Respect 🤙
I agree with the analogy to the 911. This is an iconic bike that should evolve and never completely undergo seismic change. As usual, Neevsey and MCN have done an amazing job along with Suzuki. Excellent production values on this vid - congrats to all involved in production and post.
So great to hear someone who has knowledge and experience with each generation of a bike talk about the differences and spec. Can't wait for you to ride it and give us your opinion.
Nice vid matey. Nicely put together and informative. Great location for shoot, props to Joe for cam work.
I love my Italian bikes, but Japan makes incredible machines.
@Ezekiel 33:6 I started on a Honda CBR with 60,000 miles on it. That engine was still powerful.
It's amazing how different they are. I had a Ducati ST2 for years until it was stolen. Such an emotional experience every time I rode it (and got the servicing bills). Then I bought a Super Blackbird - totally different bike, beautiful smooth power delivery but not the same emotive experience (but fun at 260+ km/h!!). Sold her 10 years ago and 3 years ago bought a Ninja 1000, which is great in the city, more upright and more comfortable for my neck, but equally happy in the twisties or on a long trip with gear (and my wife or son/daughter). Ultimately, it's just great to be on a bike! :-)
@Ezekiel 33:6 Mate, that's a gnarly verse. :-)
@@deldridg Damn, a blackbird. Rare bike.
Great in-depth video MCN,hope to see more of these 👌🏍
Great Video and a great looking bike... never rode one but the temptation is almost overwhelming now..
I have to say. This was the most suspenseful 4 minutes of my life, as you focused on the 1999 Busa. I wasn't expecting to ever actually see the new 2021 model. Then BLAM. Well done! I'm thoroughly enjoying this video so far.
Well presented, looking good,well done suzuki and mcn. Love to see one in the flesh, hopefully soonish.
The legacy of this legend is still continuing❣️❣️
Great presentation and review. Thanks!
This is the best review of an automobile so far that Ive ever seen. So in depth and precise to the point. Great work sir. Subscribing asap ❤️👍🏻
This video has rendered all other videos obsolete. Don’t even bother. Great video.
Idk why but I cried watching this
The Legend❤
Elaborator and illustrations are very precise ,sensible,to the point ..100/100.thank you sir.
Really great commentary. thoroughly enjoyed.
Your best vid yet.
And what a thing. That looks like a rear diffuser!
The lights and instruments look really good
Excelente moto, me gusta que mantengan el instrumental y los escapes.
Muy buen programa.
Saludos desde Argentina.
SUPERB. Much more refined, more of everything and looks fantastic. Just what I wanted. Perfect.
The only living bike which never lost it's legacy !❤️🤩
until now
Finally MCN have good audio and visual.
Great review because you provided the significant detail along with how the variables of the design might affect the actual riding experience. Thank you.
Love your show I have a 2000 still running great
Thank you Michael, you got everyone here already salivating.
Well done MCN...Well Done Suzuki...👍🏻😘Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
beautiful bike. love the back end change
WELL well done video and such AMAZING machines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Legend lives , welcome back to the icon , this will kick ass ❤️👍
Superbike that started it all is back with a bang. Loved the design, exhaust look dope and the new color schemes are just amazing.
THIS BIKE IS SICK!!!!! I’d lost it when that box came off. Lol
Your are the best when it comes to connecting with audience , loved every bit of it . Hope others learn Auto journalism from you sir
Jesus, MCN have spent more than a tenner on some camera gear and production!
Neevesy finally getting what he deserves 👌
iPhone 12...
edit ...damn. They showed the actual camera!
holy moly 2021 is showing some promise when I no longer have to watch MCN in 240p
Those exhaust pipes are lit🔥
But no one will keep them stock
@@jayrajpatil80 i will keep them stock atleast for 2 years 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hope there will be stock looking aftermarket race exhaust.
They really aren’t bad, but getting plenty of hate. Better this than underbody exhaust that negates slip-on cans.
What a stunning design, and with quite well - as always, pinpointed blessing of Michael, this Hayabusa is destined to have its own place in the heart and soul of every bike enthusiast
This is a great great revolution, without overly designed. Great job suzuki.
when you look back all them years and realise what a stunning bike that first one was,and the new one is fantastic.
I wasn't a fan of the looks of the old bike but I must say this one is an improvement and possibly a grower - I love that paint scheme and the touches of chrome look brill. At last a manufacturer producing a new bike with dials and a proper fuel and temp gauge!! That cockpit looks awesome, exactly the right mix of analogue and digital, let's hope this starts a new trend.....weight my be an issue practically and the marketing department will have a job with reduced BHP but as you say, who's really going to notice the small reduction..I can't wait to have a go on one (Please Mr Suzuki??)....great vid as ever sir! Really enjoyed that....
Remember, with Busa, form follows function. The new model is extremely aerodynamic. Without doubt in a league of its own in that regard.
Also, the drag race community are licking their lips. Suzuki have designed in an ability to make and boost incredible amounts of power with incredible reliability. Much more so even than gen 2. This thing will dominate on drag race tracks across the world.
Its looks fookin amazing. Menacing and composed. Form following function, an engineers perfection. It is actually very different from the old. And stunning. The potential and reliability Suzuki have built into this engine is mind blowing. The drag race community are simply frothing. Suzuki have delivered us such as good base to build from, that the race community expect this model to completly and utterly dominate the scene.
I never realized how much I actually miss my speed and my revs in relation to the overall instrumentation. Neeves so eloquently reminded me how all encompassing the visual and the physical truly depend on one another
@@HighMaintenancePS Backing off HP and torque?....Not with a stock 3rgd Gen.....it is too heavy in stock form for straight line acceleration.....Drag racing is all power to weight.
Maybe the engine wizards see a fault in the older Gen bikes they will improve upon with this model....(I don't see it...)
Eagerly awaiting your first ride on this bike Mr Flyer. Although I already ordered mine ;)
Most informative video on the new hayabusa. All the technical breakdowns are very appreciated. This will be my next bike
These are the things that inspire us, make us feel alive, thank you so much Suzuki❤️.
One of the most beautiful bikes I ever saw, by my opinion. Absolutely gorgeous.
Great detailed review of the legendary Busa👌
Great job MCN. The busa was the first bike I looked at and bought on the spot in 1999. red and black. did some modifications. I had mine off the clock. an amazing bike. if I could put a picture I would
excellent preview really. The calm before the storm.
What an excellent machine 😍Literally tears in my eyes❤
This bike is an emotion🤗
Excellent report Mr Neeves....as always! My first impression was Suzuki have nailed the shape - unmistakably a Hayabusa. Never owned or ridden one but its very tempting!
Looks amazing! I like that they kept the design language similar.
Man the ‘busa just looks the business.
Great cinematic shots throughout!
Great looking bike
Damn... Beautiful, love it! Thx MCN for this.
I still remember riding a bud’s Busa back in 2005. His was a 2003 I believe. It felt like a Cadillac. Floated along. Power was very linear and smooth. I really enjoyed it.
an engineering and design masterpiece! gonna buy 1 of these busas.
enjoyed this.Michael Neeves is in my opinion the number 1 bike tester. my son had a 2014 busa and i rode it steady and it was fine . we used to go to Jacks Hill Cafe and we met a couple in their late 50 s and they had a gen 1 and a gen 2. they would turn up two up on one or the other. they had owned both from new. i had a cbf 1000 and coming home one time my son overtook me,i was doing 70. and i felt i was standing still. busas are iconic . if i was young again i wouldnt mind one.
The evolution is kinda sweet 👌 good one neevesy!
Love the location....Suzuki warehouse. What's in the boxes!!!
Superbikesssss 😍😍
Only Hayabusass
Boxes filled with Busas........
Bikes mate, lots of bikes 👊✊
It's like the closing scene from raiders of the lost Ark.
You touch my heart when you said something about A CLOCK!!!
What a great presentation. 👍🏻
I just got my second busa. Definitely need one of these asap!
As always a thorough detailed review of Suzuki’s iconic Busa, great job MCN. Shame about euro 5 choking the performance but great that Suzuki was motivated to keep the hyper-bike alive unlike other manufacturers who dropped them. 👍
The legend is back. Strong and elegant 💪💪
Great video, Neevesy! Can't wait to see the bike in the flesh.
Very soon!
Thoroughly impressed you guys can already get hold of these to have a review when the bike is not even out for sale yet!
Not really a review is it and he's at the suzuki warehouse, whoopeee
@@daviebanks1065 don’t be a fud
@@mbal4052 not being a fud buddy just pointing out it is not a review, he hasn't ridden it
The Legend is back!! Stronger & Better than ever.
To me it sounds like it's weaker, heavier, less efficient, and more expensive. I'm curious what makes you think it's stronger and better than ever? Cheers. I'm sad.
@@Mega7upYours it's lighter than previous one also it got many features which makes it kinda expensive
Brilliant overview thanks guys
