The MAM Journals - Hayabusa Gen3 - Enjoyable in the modern world?

I have owned my Generation 3 Hayabusa for over a year . How am I finding it? What do I like about the bike ? Is there a place in the modern world for bikes of this power and performance?

You always forget how low and long these beasts look until you see one in person, it's cool that Suzuki has kept the original concept look almost the same for over 20 years

Enjoyable in the modern world? Absolutely! I own both a Gen1 and a Gen2, and have ridden three different Gen3s now, and I still feel that the Hayabusa is the best bike in the world. There's nothing it cannot do, unless you're looking to compete in Trials. 😄

Not sure how I missed this one Mike, what a machine. I love the 25th anniversary edition in blaze orange, as a designer I’d love to tweak the graphics (they’re just a touch too prominent and large for me) but they’ve got the balance of colour to black beautifully judged on that machine. Great review as always!

Another great video! Always wanted a 'Busa. I found your channel when doing research on my '75 CB400F. You are the David Attenborough of motorcycling!

So Michael. Only about 11 bhp more than my slow RD250! Seriously, I think this is a most beautiful bike. It is iconic and deservedly so.

Such a gentleman - unlike us uncouth Aussies! Great video and explanations along the way.

I have almost no interest in this particular model/type of bike. Yet still thoroughly enjoyed this video. Testament I believe to your ability to convey knowledge/experience with genuine enthusiasm. You Sir are a class act.

I own a 2007 lovely busa. Love it. Your review was very enjoyable. You sir are such an elegant communicator.
Good to see an older gentleman riding the beast, hope I will do the same at your age!
You have a new subscriber 😉

Great video and I truly look forward to the future videos with it's journey to see Richard Albans at TTS tuning in Northamptonshire, without doubt if I ever end up with one, that's the route I would take 100%

I had a B-King for 7 1/2 years. Great bike.

Great bike, so easy to ride slowly or quickly in all circumstances and totally agree about the grip/stability when riding in the wet! I have the same colour/year (from the same dealer 🙂- we met briefly outside just after I'd bought mine and you'd unfortunately dropped yours) and have since got a bit carried away with adding bling and luggage to set it up for touring (solo) for which it's perfect! Have you tried the heated grips in cold weather - disappointed with mine not getting hot enough - compared to the Oxford ones which I've always had fitted on previous bikes? On increasing performance, did you also see that Woolwich Racing have also now produced one of their famous kits for allowing the tuning experts direct access to the ecu? Am enjoying the channel.

Great work Michael I really in joyed that very interesting

[cloudcata]

I've never been so excited for something in my life, mine will arrive very soon, it's the new Metallic thunder gray, god it's so beautiful, I never really liked the older hayabusa, design and purpose wise, but this one is incredible, beautiful dash, beautiful bike, loaded with electronics and safety features, good riding position, there was no other bike choice for me

Nice video Michael as always. I am thinking of part exchanging my 2022 KTM 1290 Super Duke for a Suzuki Hayabusa but I am a little concerned about the weight of the Hayabusa and the manoeuvrability in the garage. I would hate to drop it! I have evotech crash protection on the Super Duke but they do not appear to offer very much for the Hayabusa. R&G have a kit but it requires complete removal of the fairing’s. I like the tank bag you fitted to the 1000 GT. I guess you can lean against the bag and take the weight off the wrists on the Hayabusa.

I saw a P-51 at a local airshow once and it reminds me of that. We have a couple WW2 airfields near by just saying. Nice!
