I followed you since your first vid of the Busa. This vid was really hard for me to watch to the end. Now I still don’t understand why you bought the bike, even after you explained. I have the same bike and I absolutely love this bike. I added Brock’s titanium exhaust. The bike is a iconic legend. It doesn’t have to be the fastest now. I just is what it is. It’s big, planted, powerful, comfortable and loaded with technology. I pulled up beside a already black out 2023 and dude was staring at my bike. It seemed like his didn’t have that bling that mine does with the candy burnt gold! When I get hard on the throttle there’s effortless speed. I’m trying not to make this comment long but I could go on. Lastly, I’m only 5’6 but physically fit. I feel like I’m in the bike rather than on it. I would tell anybody, ride it first, you’ll love it. The bike gets thumbs up and recognition everywhere I go. My dream machine 😅. I hope you find what your looking for. I’m extremely happy with my gen 3 .
Glad to know that you’re loving your Busa more and more. And my apologies if I was a bit premature with my comment. You put a lot of money into it and it gorgeous in my opinion. The only bike in my opinion that is legitimately in the same class as the Busa is the other heavy weight fighter the ZX14. The ZX is faster, everything else? Different weight class like boxing. I would expect a powerful lighter bike to be quicker. I bought this bike for its form, function and how it makes me feel. Like I can go from zero to infinity 😂
Glad to see you back making videos. I totally understand what you’re saying; the Busa and ZX-14 are definitely niche machines. I had a ZX-14 back in the day and it was nice but it wasn’t me. Now if you want a bike with character I recommend checking out the Ducati Panigale V4S. It has performance and character! I upgraded to a Panigale V4S this year and I haven’t looked back; I love mine and highly recommend checking one out! The V4 is an amazing engine and it has its own distinct sound! 😎
Bro I love my 2022 gsxr 1k. The only down fall is the fact there is no cruise control. Which I feel like it should. I’m thinking about the zx10, next. Great video as always sir! Semper Fi!
If I had my choice between the busa(2023/2024) and the 2023 bmw s1000RR, for both touring and riding comfort, and being 6'3" tall, I would definately choose the busa over the s1000RR :)
Also, I think the issue with us tall riders, especially if you like the bmw s1000RR, is that if you take it on long distance your neck starts to hurt because you are constantly needing to look upwardly and to some extent this applies to the busa as well. I'm waiting for the 2024 BMW M1000XR competition to come out because it's the best of ALL worlds :)@@On2sMC
I am adding a 240 kit on my Gen 3. I understand that I am sacrificing cornering but the bike looks so much better with the 240 kit. At the end of the day I am not racing so a fat tire kit would work for me.
Devil Dog Semper Fi,I just stumbled upon your content kinda late I admit,I watch ur content as well as BusaRells,I have now a 2023 Busa now just two months shy of a yr,I feel ur pain I had the 2001 Busa and honestly I would love to have it back I believe it weighed less and had more power,maybe just the weight,but honestly all the technology wasn't necessary, I don't use it, as for my Gen 3 there is a hot start issue I'm waiting for Suzuki to officially address,love the design and have always been a fan of that,truthfully I'm liking that BMW as my next choice or something exotic, I would love to flash my ecu and will add Yoshimura for sound
I see what you’re saying about maybe coming with a little more features but I got a 25th anniversary was the obnoxious neon orange and I absolutely love it. I owned 16 previous bikes before it but it’s been great for me, and I say that as a 4 cylinder HATER. I love twins and triples but I think the bike is pretty characterful to me. I feel as if I had gotten one of the standard monochrome colors of the gen 3 busa, I wouldn’t like it as much.
Ah man, was hoping you'd show the new swingarm installed on this vid. Still planning on breaking down the difference between the new swingarm & extension? Either way, we rocking with ya. Appreciate your perspective fam!
Ayooooo!!! My guy! Good to see you checking in, hope all is well bro. Even tho I haven't riden a Busa, I feel like I can agree with you with it having no personality. I and I also was disgusted with the older gen looks. hahah Sounds like you need to get another R1! I just told mine in June and looking to get another one soon. Anyways tho, be cool my brother
Well … I Love my 2023 Hayabusa!! I just bought it 2 weeks ago … Not to mention this my Very First bike But I was looking for a Nice Tour bike Something I can get out on the Interstate and enjoy … All the Safety Features are Good for me ( Me Being a Newbie and All to the cycle world ) I can’t wait to make this Trip from Nashville,Tn to Fl for the October Fest …. Hopefully I can hookup with Some Old Heads and ride down with them … I’m 5’10 and 175lbs and Athletic… But She is Heavy Lol … I’ve laid her down gently at the stop sign … I was at a crazy stop the Hill curved to the right and I had to make the Left turn … I leaned my bike right over Lol … Be Blessed !! I hope you’ll got a Good Laugh Off of that Newbie’ Story LMAO !!!
Valid points. Disappointing that Suzuki didn't up the ante on the power and torque with the Gen-3. But they still made it a better all around bike with all the tech they added, that wasn't there with the Gen-1 or Gen-2. And, it's still one heck of a fast and powerful machine. I had a Gen-1 back in 2003. Bought it brand new that year. It was my first ever motorcycle. The looks of it were exactly what drew me to it. I just thought it was the biggest, meanest looking sport bike out there. So, after seeing the bike for the first time in a CycleTrader magazine, that was it for me!. It was 'Busa or nothing!! I bought it and put 10k miles on it in the first 4 months of owning it. Unfortunately, I wrecked it in the 4th month. A woman in a green Saturn did a hard sudden stop in front of me and I rear ended her. I was okay, but the bike was totaled. That was the last time I rode a motorcycle (21 years ago). But I'm back!! Last week, I placed my order for a black 2024 Hayabusa. I go to the dealer to pick it up this weekend!! There's only one bike for me, and that's the Hayabusa.
Man the fact that the busa is probably the most comfortable sports bike should be a win lol specially when it comes to long rides. Specially us veterans and over 35yrs old everything hurts lol😂
I disagree. Japanese Sports bikes you can go in the Red range all day and start again the next, never over heating. The Hyabusa under $20K. The BMW S1000RR and Ducati you're looking at $80K- those price ranges and Aprilla. Speed is not everything. Hyabusa is the master Sport-Tourer.
@roderickfelston1062 You must be NEW here and also a complete IDIOT. To imply that I do not know how to ride and I used to be a stunter means you need a woman in your life. Also, I have had nothing but liter bikes since I started my channel. I just bought my FIRST Harley in June. Are you happy now ? I gave you some attention
@roderickfelston1062 Bro u sound straight dumb. YEAH YOU MUST BE NEW HERE. THINK before you post Real rider?? I can gaurantee you he will out ride you any day. That i know for a fact

Got A Question ???? What’s your Top 5 Bikes ????
Maybe they could have added a TFT display?
Hey whats up, Question for you -- Do you still have that wheelie machine you ordered?
Yezzir
Which area of America are those roads bro?

Yep, I know your Next video "My new R1"
LOL I was thinking the same.
