NEW Suzuki Hayabusa | 400 Miles In A Day Comfortable?

The Suzuki Hayabusa was always renowned for its smooth high speed cruising abilities but for 2021 it has been updated. We borrowed two of Suzuki's finest for a couple of weeks & took them on a 400 mile jaunt to test if the latest version still has that continental crushing ability!

What kinda bike do you ride? I have dirt bikes but I’m looking for a good reliable bike for the road. The Busa seems like a logical place to start and kinda tall person friendly. I’m scared do some of those race bikes and the Busa seems a lot more tame and probably better for long rides but still can have some fun with some bike friends of all kinds. Just seems like a well rounded road bike.

@My.name.goes.here. 2 жыл бұрын

@@Dara-ih6jq a Busa is definitely not a beginner bike. With that being said my first sport bike was a 1000cc albeit a v-twin but still damn fast. I’m actually looking to trade in my new Harley road glide for a new Busa early next year. By all means you can absolutely start on a Busa if you’re the kinda person that can respect it. Just ride safe and sensible and you’ll probably be okay, also wear full gear.

@ Baked Beanz on Toast I thought that too... (I'm 'old and knacked too) what you need is somewhere you really want to go or to see ....admittedly mine was only 320 something miles...or you could do 200 miles and stay the night :-) Which is pretty much what I do these days....

Didn't know Senior Gregorio is your brother in law, but what a great pair. Really enjoy and appreciate these comparos and it's quite nice to have multiple opinions in one go.

When you choose a bursa it’s all down to the colour you get, the new version needs to offer more options but I’m sure that’ll come.

So wish I could justify buying one - loved (and owned) previous two versions and this has grown on me so much. On my Gen 1, I was going down M4 and there was a huge section with a 50 limit so reset fuel computer and got 72 mpg. Probably cost more in tyre wear. Contemplating selling the car :D

Haha, that’s funny. I did a distance test run on my bike and stopped in exactly the same spot at CG. Naturally a flat battery when I tried to head off. The test ride was for a solo tour which had mileages of 280, 330, 92 and finally 359 to get home. Awesome stretches but a fair amount of discomfort on my 125. Roughly hourly stops and a little walk help, as does paracetamol, lol.

GS500 E slingshot, Cbr600 F3, GSXR-600, FZ 6, DL 650 V STROM, VFR 800(still have this one), GSXR-1000.......2006 Suzuki Hayabusa LE(RZ) There is no question, the Busa is the fastest, most comfortable and capable of traveling veeeeery long distances(in Southern California where everything is far away). Easily do 500mi a day and not a limp or even a slight ache after jumping off. Regularly do LA to PHX (380ish miles) get there, drop the gear and luggage, and get right back on and do another 200 that nite. Most comfy and supremely capable bike I ever and still do own. And we talking a Gen 1!!! Slab KING that will do 187mph all day. Between fill ups lol, that is, she is thirsty over 100. Cannot wait to throw one over a '22. BUSA is KING!! lol, seriously tho, as far as covering loooooong distances and having the most visceral fun doing it...accept no substitute, Suzuki Hayabusa.
