Her: “He’s probably out with other girls” Me: * *watches why turbo hayabusa beats everything at 4 am* *

311.94 MPH is 502.02 KM/H - this thing was faster than the Chiron SS years before it even debuted. BIll Warner is a MADMAN.

More bikes?

That was awesome!! I had a Turbo'd 1100 and a Busa ! I was always scared that engine was going to blow up in between my legs everytime I heard that turbo spool but I still miss my bikes..

My Hayabusa was one of the best bikes I've ever owned. I put 70,000 km's on it and ran NOS. Never even had to change the clutch. I toured all over Canada with it. Indestructible bike.

We are so fortunate to be in a time where we have access to all this information in such an organized fashion. Thank you so much for making this video. I love learning something new everyday!

There's a reason the Hayabusa is talked about like a mythic creature. Its a miracle of engineering.

I was a service technician at a Houston area Suzuki dealership when the Busa was first introduced, and I was at the '01 factory update seminar when they announced the gentlemen's agreement. The Suzuki factory rep said that fear of government regulation was not the sole reason for limiting speed, the AMA and FIM told the manufacturers they were getting out of control and that 300 Km/Hr was the fastest that a motorcycle could go in a road-racing competition setting. They were also aware that it took most of us about 5 minutes to figure out how to override the speed limiter. One of the first changes they had to make to Busa engine was the cam chain tensioner. The first ones were ratcheting automatics and some failed, ended up bending the valves and occasionally breaking the crankshaft. The second ones were manual and some had the same results. The final recall repair kit came in 2001. In that kit was a new cam chain guide and new tensioner that was designed to use oil pressure provided by a hose that we had connect to the front oil galley via a banjo bolt, and two zip ties to prevent the cam chain from jumping when the kit was installed. One side note is that most of the broken crankshaft repairs I made out of warranty ended up stroker kits. I look back on those days and I'm amazed I'm over 50 years old now.

Radical also uses the stock 1340 Hayabusa in SR3's and SR1's. They also make a bespoke 1500 stroker Busa motor that pushes out 220 at the crank. The SR8 used a macro block V8 with stock cylinder barrels and heads from the Hayabusa spanning from 2.6-3.2 litre V8 that revs up to 10,500 RPM!

Had a busa until last year, wildest bike I think I'll ever ride in my entire life. On the group I rode with, not a single bike can catch up in a straight line, and the turns aren't bad either despite it's massive size. Changed it for a BMW GS this year, Hayabusa's power scared me away from sport bikes now lol but it will always accompany me in my chest, quite literally; made a gold chain with it's kanji to mark my favorite bike I've ever owned.

the hayabusa swapped smart cars are probably my favorite

Had a 2002 Midnight Falcon Edition back in the day with an extended swingarm, was just an absolute rocket and so comfortable as a touring bike. Suzuki nailed it in every possible way. Such a great bike.

I've always thought that the people who ride Liter Bikes have accepted death, and there's almost nothing you could do to scare someone who thinks going 175+ on two wheels is not fast enough lol

I remember being at the LA Motorcycle Show when the ZX11 was introduced. I was speaking with a Rep from Kawasaki. He told me the original cams designed for the bike were replaced and timing was retarded to get the bike UNDER 200mph. Would love to find a ZX11 and those original cam grind specs.😁😁😁

Not me hitting the like button before the ad even ends because I already know this is going to be amazing keep them coming!!!

Always wanted a busa, now have one. Best bike I've ever rode by far. Most iconic bike ever produced, everyone else has always tried to match its reputation and failed. Will never part with mine, busa boy for life.

There's fast little cars in Japan that have Hayabusa engines. There's a couple of airplanes that are powered by Hayabusa engines. They're fast to be sure, but what gets me about them is the engineering.

I watch a lot documentaries on KZfaq to occupy my mind. You’re one of the best. On point. No lame attempts at jokes. Great charisma and you put things well like “this is the end of super bikes but let’s be happy it happened at all” well said man. You’re gonna be big.

My Blackbird was stolen twice. When it was recovered the second time, it fit on a shipping pallet. Something major must have happened for it to get that mangled. I low-key hope it wrote the final chapter in the person who stole it their life. I use to take it to the track. The other riders said I looked like Hailey’s Comet as I threw sparks. The Blackbird wasn’t designed for the track as everything was placed low. Insurance gave me enough to buy an older F3 (600cc). It was a great track bike. It would overheat if I let it idle for too long. I usually parked it the back alley, but my landlord decided to re-pave the parking spots. The first night it was parked on the street, a drunk woman in a minivan hit everything on my side of the street. Cars were pushed into cars & a car was pushed into my bike. She didn’t have insurance and there were at least a dozen cars with significant damage. I was SOL.

I had the 1st hayabusa Green Bay ever sold back in 1999. It was ordered the day the literature came out and took months to come in. It was a great wheelie bike. Unbelievably stable at 200+

I'm glad it happened too. Gen 2 450 horsepower turbo owner here . Best bike on the planet & great video

We knew Bill and sponsored his bike. You can see our sticker on the front under aim at 7:36 Zip Sensors. We met him when I was running my turbo zx14 in okachobee FL. We made custom egts and other sensors for him. He was a gentleman and a good friend. Sad news and loss for motorsports the day he went.

Had a Gen2 for 7 years and loved it. Only changed bikes because the riding position got to me in the end. I needed something more upright. But I enjoyed the Busa immensely. It's one of those bikes that everyone should own.

Excellent videos as always. Straight to the point and extremely informative.

I've been building turbo busas since 2000 and over the years I've done hundreds of these bikes.Its a great platform.

Remember seeing a test drive of sorts years ago. It was done on a airfield runway. The police was measuring the speeds with their radars. The end result for Hayabusa is something that i will always remember. Police: You you drive little bit slower? You were too fast for our radar

This might be the most informative motorcycle documentary and your narration is right up there with James Earl Jones.

Love the tech videos. Keep it up !

Man this channel is so clean. I just love the animations and style, your voice goes perfectly with the vibe of your content road to a milli sub bro

The era when this battle was going on was a really fun time to be into bikes.

The replacement for displacement is Chris moores Suzuki gsxr 1000. He went 5:96 at 230mph in the quarter mile (1320ft) no slick and wheelie bar. It’s the fastest no bar street tire motorcycle on the planet. And it’s not even close. And yes it’s faster then a Hayabusa has that 1000 holds the world record.

this is a great video, you really got into stuff and explained everything really well.

Your production is entertaining i bet you could make boat engines interesting

Another great video, Mr 337 Speed. You're rather good at this 👍

Excellent Video, I began riding motorcycles in 1968, I've had some very fast bikes and some of the one's that were the beginning of the super bikes, this is my first video on this channel and you have a new subscriber, Thank you Sir. 🏍

Watching exhausts start to glow must be one of the coolest sights in motorsport

I have seen channels with quality production value content, but this is on different level...

I'm all about cars but I've always admired Suzuki Hayabusa, probably the most legendary motorcycle

Love this style of videos, keep it up!

I'm not a motorcycle guy, but even I remember going to drag strips in college and seeing the first long-tail turbo Hayabusas at the strip doing ungodly times.

Undeniably you produce the most amazing performance videos, so captivating! Thank you!

Another amazing video man. Keep it up!

A very well produced, informative & entertaining video.

Really cool video! I've always loved the Busa because my father was a huge Suzuki fan and rode many of there bikes. The Busa was his dream bike but he never had the chance to get one unfortunately. What has got me really curious an excited is the new Kawasaki ZX4R bikes! Maybe you could do a video on them sometime?

As usual production gold, thanks for a great video!

Great content, voice, quality, and graphics. just subbed!

Thank you so much for this, we appreciate you & what you do for us. More bikes please & cheers !

Bikes are cool, but I also have been fascinated by the old Taurus SHOs. The Yamaha V6 in the 1st and 2nd gen and Cossworth/Yamaha V8 in the 3rd gen were always exciting.

Here in ATL when you see a Busa, it's either boosted to high hell, or riced to high hell. But hey, still sick no matter what!

That was a really well done documentary! The clips, the history and the narrator were awesome! made me want to buy the bike? 😂 Great work guys

The 2000 Kawasaki ZX12R was not limited. Depending on the magazine doing the testing it was hard to tell which was faster. One magazine got 196 on the 12 compared to 194 for the Busa.

This motorcycle it's a legend, that has a rock solid engine, and has gained perhaps the more abundant aftermarket with mods and parts of every kind, so it's relatively ease to build a monster on two wheels (if you have the money)

The Busa will live on with Drag Racers across the country for ever !!! 👍🏁

In my younger days I rode a turbocharged and intercooled BMW K75s that developed 170hp. It topped out at 173mph and change and since the speedo didn't go that high, I had to measure the circ of the rear tire and do the math to get my very top speed from the RPM and final drive ratio. I worked at Luftmeister in Paramount CA and lived in Simi Valley and my run to work was at triple digits every. single. day. Work started at 10am so I had the road to myself, mostly. Fun times. I'd like to get my paws on one of these Hayabusas and wring it out across Montana.

I have a real pretty copper 99 busa. By far my favorite bike ever, I can’t wait to turbo it. The power is already insane. I’ve also owned a 93 zx11, still had the power to snap your neck back. A zx12r would be fun too lol

FANTASTIC PRODUCTION!!! Bravisssimi!!! Going to enjoy exploring the channel!!!

Buddy of mine has a turbo "Busa that he drag races- extended swingarm and all the goodies. Once he got used to it, watched him at our local strip-1/4 mile-7.76@177. Yeah, they really do go!

Always liked the TLS and TLR bikes too. Owned all the SV's and have a V-strom now.

Moore mafia collaboration developed a 300+hp turbo busa on a safe tune. They have not yet released the dyno on what the bike made on a crazy tune

Great video and great information, love the enthusiasm for the engineering behind it!

Very well done video, thanks for doing it!

I'm a car guy first and foremost but this video was brilliant, would love to see more bikes!

the time effort and quality u put into this video is amazing....couldnt skip even a second...great job bro...would love to get a busa someday...actually quite inexpensive in India

This is why I'm hanging on to my 07 Hayabusa still factor and still turning miles every chance I get thanks for the history lesson 👍🏾

Damn... Your videos are so good it makes me astonished!! Congrats and thanks for the infos man!

My first road bike was a 1981 Honda CB900F Super Sport. The power was addicting, I put 400 miles on it riding the freeways in the Western Suburbs of Chicago the Friday night I picked it up before getting home. Not sure how I survived that bike.

Thank you for reminding people of the OG. A turbo Hayabusa will still mop the floor with an H2

Your visuals and graphics are fantastic. Super intuitive for visual learners.

Very well documented. Watched it all. Thanks.

Let’s be real with the knowledge this man has, he should design a badass engine.

Finally you did it fam! Why do Hayabusas destroy everything!!!!!

Great info and narration, keep it up man!

Epic video, been watching a while and your channel is sick!

my dads cousin had a banshee quad bike fitted with a custom Hayabusa engine and it had Nos injection, it was made for sand drags. he said it was the scariest thing he had ever been on and that was without using the Nos. I dont know much about bikes but it use to get raced at Ponde if i recall correctly.

Yes more bikes please, really love the engineering of them

It makes me extremely happy to know that somebody, somewhere was insane enough to strap 1000hp to a motorcycle. 😆

Yep, these Suzuki Hayabusa,s immediately takes me back to this guy (Hayabusa Custom) that took brand new Hayabusa,s and then do a complete custom job on them. What a work of Art and I still remember his beautiful show stopper bike, called the Ghost if I remember correctly. 👍👍

Worked at a Suzuki Dealer back when the 300 km/hr limit was set. At the yearly new model / product class the instructor said to us the bike is limited to 186 mph in....TOP gear(6th) via the ECU but can be easily bypassed by regearing final drive and droppin down to 5th .....he also said the US hadnt passed a speed limit law yet but the OEMs hoy together and in Japan that was 300 km/hr. They did it first to keep the speed wars alive for a couple more years by acting like they were complying. He was 109% accurate on all points.

Ok hear me out.... We take a highly modified Hayabusa engine and put in a 50's VW Beetle. We then paint it like Herbie and under the hood we put "Herbie's little secret."

Great video! Would be nice if you included speed in km/h also.

Amazing content! 🤝

The 1st gen was the fastest stock bike .. They're rare in gold and silver nowdays . A lad i know had a turbo charged one and dominated drag races on that thing .. Awesome bike !!!

Putting one of those engine to a Japanese kei car would be absolutely monster

Well made, entertaining, and informative video, man! Loved the watch. Always wanted to know what the deal was with the busa

I love your videos. Very informative. Thank you

Since it's been refined to have great aero performance, this might be a great platform to do EV restomods to. They'll need improved tires.

The end dialogue was said really well. 😊 one day and may come to an end where these 1400 300 cc bikes are no longer here it’s very interesting.

Thank you, for explaining the boost.👍

Wish we had superlike on youtube cause damn this man's content deserves it!!

This is the only bike that terrified me when I rode it. You’ve no idea just how insanely they accelerate until you've ridden one

I remember when I was about 20 looking for a CBR 600; or GSX-R 600 and remember seeing a bunch of Busas for sale with almost no miles on them. I wonder if a bunch of people bought to much bike and were scared of them.

Well done, takes me back.

Great documentary. Thanks 🙏

My Ninja 400 would destroy all Hayabusa

Good video! Bikes are another level. Unfortunately, they are too dangerous for the average family man. I bought one and couldn't stay off the throttle. I had to sell of it, or it would have killed me.

Great info on the evolution of these bikes.

I've always had a passion for motorcycles this video was a good watch.

Awesome video! Its really cool seeing forced induction mods/builds in the motorcycle scene taking off so much over the last decade. I work at a bike (performance oriented) shop & factory race team, which is a dream job in its entirety, however my absolute favourite jobs are the big hp turbo builds we've done on many bikes, but by far the gsxr1300 and the zx14r are the most insane platforms to build on. Have built two zx14's now that surpass 450hp on kill/high boost, and a cosy safe reliable 300hp on low!

Low compression and high engine displacement is the key. Stroker and big bore kit would made it even monster of an engine.

I had the Hyabusa and superblackbirds , 4 in total , the blackbird was the better machine in my opinion, I had a lot of big bikes over a 20 yr period, an 06 zx10r was my favourite bike of lots owned , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧 , ps I rode them all very hard to there limits
