Which bike would you rather push to the bleeding edge of speed? Don't forget that you can win the R1 for FREE on yammienoob.co

the greatest starter bike battle of all time

let me get this straight: emotion: hayabusa feeling of power: hayabusa sophistication: r1 agility: r1 reliability: they're both japanese... best beginner bike: both.

My gran is looking for a new mobility scooter, that red one looks like a good pick

I fell like I've joined a cult

It's not a fair test the stickers alone on the busa gives it an extra 100 Horse Power

R1 is a scalpel, Busa is a broadsword

"yeeting yourself into the sun" should be the new tagline for the R1 😂

Hell no, he wasn't in the powerband on the Busa. He was in the wrong gear. REMATCH 🤨

Having ridden both....and twisted the throttle in anger, I would say that it is a really hard decision. I would lean more towards the R1. But kudos to what Suzuki did back in the day to build such a machine!

*looks down at speedometer on highway with either of those bikes* “oh shit I’m doing 100... whoops”

Having ridden both back to back on multiple occasions (out of pure curiosity), I’ve repeatedly found the R1 to be stiffer and nimbler but horrendous for a daily commute type of thing, whereas the busa was chonkier but softer and more meant for cruising (very liberal use of cruising I know). Always such a great experiencing riding both! You’re right, these are bought as toys, and not as race machines, but none the less, they’re great buys!

Our cute boi Yammie, starts on modest R3, fell for triple, and in a blink R1 vs the Hayabusa. Aint this the best of yammie noob, even better than 7 beginner mistakes/etc....

Where my busa boys at?

Somebody's been taking notes from F9.

The first part gave me serious fortnine vibes. I can tell you guys are trying to increase production value, keep it up

Was looking for a begginer bike, this video helped me decide. Busa it is

I’ve heard you scream about the bussa but I’ve heard you scream about manscaped more

Damn, fog machines and ambient lighting? You guys are stepping up production quality, nicely done :)

100 years later people will remember the name Hayabhusa, not r1,for sure,,, cause legends never die

Please keep making these!!! Theyre great, love the production quality

I liked the "top gear" style of this video. However your comparisons left out one key metric that is very relevant for any street bike, COMFORT. Go on a three hour ride with the R1 and tell me your aren't saddle sore afterwords. If the seat is anything like other liter bikes, it's barely better then sitting on a 2x4. The Busa on the other hand, is very comfortable compared to other sportbikes. The seat is nice and large with lots of cushion. Same goes for the passenger seat for those of us that like to bring girlfriends. More of an upright riding position while retaining the ability to tuck in when needed. Furthermore, you'd have to be mentally handicapped to think that roll-on test was any good. Gearing and power bands are way different on both of those bikes. You can look at the footage and clearly see the Busa starts off at like 3700rpm... Are you kidding me? You can talk about torqe all you want, but the Busa is still meant to make it's power at rpm ranges way higher then that. Next time, go out in the country and do a pull with both bikes from 60mph. Put both bikes as close to their power bands as possible with regards to gearing. Then compare them that way. But I can tell by the way you guys ride those that you are both obviously still afraid of them. That kind of power needs to be respected for sure. But if your afraid of them, you need to ride them more and experiment with the power until your comfortable handling the bike... Bottom line, they are both amazing machines. The Busa (zx-14's and the like) are still king of the street. They have the comfort, the speed, the stability. You shouldn't be trying to push corners on public streets anyways because it's a good way to die to general road debris or other drivers. Liter bikes are still king of the track and the corners at the expense of comfort and ride time. No surprise

WOW GUYS!!! Love the definitive format and style you accomplished on this vid. Amazing work!!!

You guys could have started the video straight into the motovlog, but you made the intro. It really improves the quality of the video to have the intro like that.

I love your vids even though I’m not old enough to ride yet, but still gonna watch you for the next few years until I can.!!!!❤️✌️🤟👍

I'm curious how a new Busa would stack up to the new R1. The new Busa was significantly faster then my older Busa.

21 year difference. I'd say the busa still holds up decent. Also a super sport bike is being compared to a sport touring bike. Fun to compare them though. I've owned the busa for a couple years and ridden the new R1. Busa is more fun to drag race and stock to stock, the better rider wins on the strip. Power addons for the busa just makes it crazy fun on the strip also.

1:49 posty looks a bit different without the face tats

Ridiculous, gimme the bursa all day. Much more practical street bike, can take a passenger, luggage, go on a trip!

Whatever it is.. busa boys would always select the busa. Btw, like how yammie chose to review the busa rather than the R1. True Busa boy right there

I would love to see you guys do a 90’s speed war series! Blackbird vs Hayabusa!!!

Hey Rammy scoob, Sammy kroob, Manny tube, Clammy Pube, the guy yammie noob. My bald biker boi. Love your vids keep it up

I love the serious tone during the Hayabusa, then seeing the yammie anime and manscaped stickers and losing all seriousness. 😂

I don't even ride motorcycles, still watch these videos though. Love em.

this helped me alot now i know which one to get as my first beginner bike this summer

Hey Yam and Spite! Great editing and presentation guys! Keep up the good vids coming!

i’m currently trying to decide between these exact 2 bikes. this vid couldn’t have been timed any better for me. definitely leaning toward the busa

BEEN WAITING FOR MORE BUSA VIDEOS!! Thanks!

Great video, was so wild seeing the same road I've been down a million times. Use to live in logo vista tx. Thanks man.

very entertaining format for today's video. good job, guys

I miss the daytona segment.. Bought a daytona 675 08 because of you beautiful review. Loved the bike since march 2020. Upgraded from an rc 390

Nice Pantera refference ;)

I started on a 09 R1 and loved Every min of it !!💯

Turbocharge the busa and try again.

as a Cellist, I have to say, well done Yam, well done!

I love the subtle "Vulgar display of power" reference. Spite, my fellow metalhead :D

That was a fire intro! Great vid, the Busa is legendary but time always wins

Literally didnt know you got a busa until yesterday. At which point I scrolled back through the channel until I found the first video and continued to bunch watch every video that it was in until today.

Hayabusa's lower compression ratio means the engine would last longer. Also, all these electronic gizmos on the R1 are not conducive to a good riding experience. The busa wins hands down!

Love this voiceover - it's closer and LOUDER yet not screammmy :)

The smoke and dim lighting at the end makes me want one that much more.

5 minutes in impression: both of you are telling each other “You merely adopted the speed. I was born in it, moulded by it.”

"Vulgar Display of Power," thanks Spite for reminding me of my favorite Pantera release, think I'll go have a listen.

The presence of Yeet energy was very high in this video....

This makes me miss my R1 !! Great video !!

Great format for the video...

Great production quality of the video! I may be doing a review of the Z900.

Different story if the bloke on the Hayabusa didn't back off

Great framing on those initial shots, I can really tell you are spending time bench marking against the pros to up the quality

A 13 year old, gen1 hayabusa, vs a brand new 1000cc motorcycle, is hardly a fair comparison. Do a 2020 hayabusa vs a 2007 R1, & I bet you’ll see similar results! Plus Spite rides like a sissy! I love and watch all your videos but do you compare any other 2007 gen1 bikes vs anything else new? I haven’t seen that video!

Yammie I'm a new youtuber and I'd appreciate so much if you could answer something for me, where and how do you get the images and videos you use in your videos? You'll be talking about a bike and show pictures of said bike sometimes. How?

Waiting yammie to feel that turbo rush.

Never seen Yammie Noob sounding so professional :-)

Awesome vid - had the ring of an F9 documentary. Possible future collaboration?

I can't geo over the car mirrors on the busa, looks stupidly great 😂

Suzuki has several bikes that have been in production for 20+ years, 100% Suzuki makes the best motorcycles

I remember in 1999 getting a Busa in that Iconic Copper color and going to the drag strip. The dyno on it was 156hp which is almost tame by today's standards and I couldn't keep up with the super sports worth a damn on the twisties just waiting for the next straight was enough.

lmao!! "you can feel the barometric pressure drop as a storm of power gathers underneath you"!!! thats some pulp novel worthy stuff right there!

Love that I get to ride both of these bikes when ever I want considering that I have a 18 R1 and 17 Busa, both have their purposes but boy do I love both.

Production values on fleek 👍

What is your recording setup? I want to stream live like this, with that kind of voice clarity.

Get ready for the smack downnnnn!

The first five minutes reminded me of Top Gear. I like it.

Hey @yammie noob you should do a video about what cars you like based on the bike brand you love.

Hey just a quick question! With the free entries are they equally dispersed or how does that work?

Jesse from Delaware here Suzuki man just got through putting a 600 through a guardrail at 70 luckily I put my knee on the seat and rolled into the grass should I just have a broken wrist and the flayed rear shoulder blade and Temple I'll be back on her in a week but to answer your question we like to 500 lb Beast we like old tuna he said he was going to be just something about grabbing a hold of that monster straightening her out and letting her take you for a flight you'll never forget staring straight down the barrel it's absolutely fascinating and no one will ever touch Suzuki's engineering the world should have learned this long ago just like the car manufacturers will never touch Mercedes mannequin try and replace convenience for quality and groundbreaking innovation that will never be replicated in a better way there's only been three of these inventions that I can remember ever in history that came out the best the first time this izuki GSXR series is one of the three any changes they make to this can only hurt it the best bike and human could create is the Hayabusa that's my humble opinion from Delaware 1488 anybody have a good medium helmet? LOL I had to ditch my when I escaped from the hospital during covid-19 f*** that I wasn't hanging around I literally had to escape LOL then the cops called me and said man you didn't have to do all that you weren't in trouble the things concussions can do to us LMAO but yeah I have my backpack my helmet and scrubs on with a bruise to heal broken ribs and wrist so needless to say I ended up sacrificing the helmet it was slowing me down so it's in the woods somewhere between here and there LOL all that for nothing it's a f****** cool story though and those words of the great John Doe I regret nothing

How did I miss this!!!

What gear You tried to race? Didn’t look or hear like your revving. Nice silent engine

Doesn't matter which one, all these bikes are gonna get walked by the new CBR RR-R Fireblade. 😎

I don't know how I feel about the wanna be Top Gear editing. I like the more casual DIY style of the channel, that's why I subbed.

"Hourses for courses" I'll stick with me Busa 😎

“Its a giant scooter” well damn, i will never get this out of my head when i see a busa now.

I quite liked this video. As other commenters have pointed out, I'd like to see a comparison of comfort on these bikes. The busa is a sports tourer, and the R1 as you noted is a pure track monster. Would love to have a video about living with these bikes. Also, I appreciate the effort you put into this one. I can see that you're trying to go for a higher production value, documentary style video. I can appreciate and respect that. One complaint: The video had a really low resolution in some places. Lots of artifacts. Specially in the later smoke shots. Please fix that

Fantastic writing! A+

WoW they are both awesome machines, you are both well Experienced riders to be handling the power of ,surely ,two of the fastest motorbike's made up to date,they would frighten the life out of me ,thank you for your Excellent tips ,advice & videos & happy riding friend 🙂🙂🙂

The best gift a beginner can have

How did they know the exact video I was wanting from them! Papa Yam - you truly are the herald of Rossi, our lord and savior!

Hayabusa: I am the king of speed R1: but I'm the fastest 2020 Fireblade: hello there! Busa and R1: Aight... imma head out...

not gonna lie, got some old Ari and Zack video vibes. I dig it!!!! and i'm so glad you got new pants Spite, I can finally rest easy knowing that poor knee isn't exposed.

I love the matching jackets. ❤

Now put the Busa up against a 78' Yamaha

lol not surprised the Harley nerd didn't stay in it for a proper pull. should've been yammie on the busa

I can't lie, I was pulling for the busa in that fourth gear roll on

I see some Fortnine influence! great video mate !!!!

Nice one!!

CEO of making a super dramatic intro about motorcycles

I have both bikes, albeit in Bimmer flavor: the K1300S and the new S1000RR M sport. The K, like the Busa, is a 1300cc torque monster with about 175 hp. It differs from the Busa with the usual BMW refinements and features, but is about the same speed. But the K1300S doesn’t compare to the RR in terms of speed and handling. The RR is so much faster, not only infinitely more flickable in the corners, but also way faster in the straights. The electronics on the RR and its numerous luxury features make it a great daily rider. The posture suffering gradually evaporates as it makes you fitter over several months. I don’t do redlined WOT on the RR on the street. It’s scary fast and will have you well over 150 under ten secs. I take my RR to the track a few times a year (COTA again in July) and also do CSS camps a couple days a year on theirs.

Can u do a video on the monster or ducati bikes. I want to get a monster 797 but there's aren't many good videos on it

I have a /gen 1 Eyeabuser and agree with your review. The R1 is too fast for me but I can see it's the better bike.

So... Is there a modern liter bike that will give me all the power? Or, do they all have a scaled back feature?
