I have had the pleasure of owning 3 full power Hayabusa's and can confidently say they are without equal ! I currently own a 99 fireblade, 2000 ZX9r Ninja, 1990 GSXR1100 old Skool and a 2000 model blue and silver busa, they are amazing to ride and I think beautiful to look at ! They do everything well, I have toured on mine and when on the German autobahn hit an indicated speed of 195 mph and it was still pulling ! I have had many fast bikes including the ZX12r ninja but the Hayabusa is... (read more)

Before I start, lets be clear, I have been riding bikes for thirty years and have tried most biking things, from touring,track days, enduro riding and a touch of low level racing.Like so many bikers I have had a whole range of bikes, CBRs, GSXRs, Blades...etc. Of recent years I had been riding a beautiful ZZR 1100 with to many trick bits to list but after a number rides on a Hayabusa I bit the bullet and bought my own.A very clean low miles 2005 model with race end cans and a"TRE" fitted to...

After 10 years ownership of a 99 Busa, still nothing out there to upgrade to. Still on it's original battery. 1 blown fuse, 1 replacement front wheel bearing, 1 set chain and sprockets, 1 LHF indicator, front piston seal kit and overhaul of brake calipers due to riding 400 mile on gritted roads.

I have now had the Busa 10 months. Came back into it 5 years ago after the usual 20 years off, on a second hand CBR 600f. Since then, 3 Triumph Sprints (great bike) inbetween 2 GSX-R 1000's and a 2010 Fireblade just for good measure ! Now I loved the Triumphs for comfort and sound and the 1000's for looks but could have saved myself a small fortune if I had just got back into biking on the CBR and then gone straight for the Hayabusa. Basically if your ego wants you to own a sports bike but... (read more)

Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa 2011
Having owned around 15 or so bikes in the up to 1000cc range over the years, I questioned a good friend who went out and bought a Hayabusa back in 2000. "Why do you need it?" I asked. Well now I know. You don't need it, but it is surely nice to have!
My new Gen II Busa came into my life in early March 2011. A few tweaks, a good run in and its now a fire breathing stormer in lambs clothing. Hey I like lambs, they are nice, curvy and well upholstered.

Firstly a big thank you to all of the previous reviews that helped me to choose the Busa. I have to agree with pretty much all of the comments people have made.
I had never ridden one and have been riding a GSXR 750 for the last 3 years. I was a bit nervous collecting the Busa as I was expecting it to be some kind of unrideable beast but the thing that amazed me on my ride home was how smooth it is. Yes it has stacks and stacks of power, but the delivery of that power is spot on. I live...

I have had a GSX600F, 2 Gixer 6's, a Ninja 9R (Top bike) and a Gixer 1000 Rizla Race rep. I now have a Busa. Simple comment - OH MY GOD!! It is space ship fast BUT unlike the duel personality of the Gixer 1000 it just has power in any gear as much or as little as you want. You don't have to rev the guts out of it or indeed wring its neck to have fun and it has NEVER shook it's head at me - and I have tried to get a reaction on acceleration. It certainly feeds-back if you are a little hot... (read more)

Returned from a long spell in Oz in the summer and, facing a mid life crisis, and the Uk weather, I bought a Hayabusa completely unseen. Knew very little about the bike or model except that I thought that Id seen one once and didnt like the styling! Impetuous? Definitely. Completely barking mad? Definitely not. The bike is awesome!

this bike is truly a beast. Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa is so fast once you twist the throttle, you can stop you just want to keep going faster and faster.
It really does go through tires pretty fast. Its way to quiet in stock form.
good for 2 up riding all day long and at really high speeds. so much power it feel like the hand of god is pushing you down the road.

What can I say, 50mpg + on long rides, overtakes ANYTHING and almost comfortable. (High pegs but I've got long legs).

Nothing but nothing else on the road will feel as powerful, but beware its very deceptive power.

I've had this bike for about a month, and all of the following reviews ring true. I do a lot of highway and in-between riding, and the thing I love the most is when I pass an 18 wheeler, it doesn't get flipped all over the road by the turbulence. It sounds silly, but I've always had smaller sporty bikes, and the stability of this thing at speed is like a rock. They did their homework with the aerodynamics.

As a riding experience, the Suzuki Hayabusa is a visceral organ-rearranging explosion of speed, in any gear at any time. It leans and handles fairly well for its size, is comfortable for all day riding and extremely reliable. I ride mine all the time, in all weather to commute and for fun. Fuel consumption is good for such a large capacity engine, and the injection and gear change are flawless pleasure. The looks are, it seems, a matter of opinion, but clean your 'Busa up and she shines to... (read more)

I'm only 21 and I have been racing bikes since I was 14. I have been racing small 360lbs bikes and with only about 100 hp. When I stepped on this bike I was amazed on how low it sat. When I was already used to small low horsepower bikes, I was used to pulling 3/4 throttle. Then I did it on this bike and it was crazy how this bike acted. After I learned to only pull 1/4 throttle and then increase to 3/4 and hold it. In conclusion this motor is highly recommended. (read more)

I've had my K7 for over six months, and every time I ride it, I find myself grinning like an idiot. The awesome acceleration is addictive and the torque and power is on tap all the way through the rev range.
It's a big bike compared to the current litre class of sport bikes but the Hayabusa is a sports tourer and it does this task with aplomb. a great ride with great handling for it's size and weight, this bike will be my "keeper".

I know the 2008 Hayabusa is on the way, but I wanted one of the baseline bikes so I purchased a new 2007 from the Suzuki dealer in Seoul. He discounted the bike a little which I appreciated. I added slip-on Titanium Akropovic mufflers. Of...

I have been riding bikes for the past 32 years and have been lucky enough to have ridden many top performing bikes of the 70s 80s 90s and now the 2000s. Most of the 70s super bikes were terrifying as they had neither brakes or stability when contrasted against the latest offerings. To my mind the Hayabusa is one of those bikes designed from the ground up for the purpose of eating the rule book, much the same as Concord did in the 1960s. The Hayabusa is fast and I would recommend believing... (read more)

I commute every day, hit the twisties whenever I can, do a good deal of touring, and I've had it out on a track a couple of times. I love the thing.

If you can't afford fuel or tyres then buy a different bike, but if you want to ride fast and get there even faster buy a Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa. Handling is awesome, bike is stunning.

The Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa looks like a killer and is a very nice two wheeler. Easy to ride and well behaved due to the egg-heads at Suzuki who programmed the ECU (Engine Management System). In 1st and 2nd gear the ECU limits the power of the engine (by retading the ignition), which makes it less twitchy when pulling away from the traffic lights. Throttle is easy when you want to ride in "leisure mode", responsive when a R1 is trying its luck on your right rear flank. Riding position is... (read more)

In the UK the first Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa's were unrestricted like mine was and it showed (an optimistic) 214 mph when flat out. I loved it, it just reeled in the horizon at frighteningly quick speeds. Other bikers moved over when I tailgated them. It was supremely comfortable, prone to a little rust (hey I live by the sea) but wheelie and spin the rear (sometimes both at the same time) like nothing on earth.

What can you say about this Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa Sports bike, other than it is the most amazing thing on two wheels. My husband bought this bike unbeknown by me about 18 months ago.

I have a serious interest in this model, but all you guys can do is grunt that you think its great! This biker's wife puts you all to shame as she, and the other ladies, are the only ones with anything interesting to say! Come on lads - most of the bikers I know are interesting and reasonably articulate. Please get your acts together and tell me something interesting about your bikes. At least one interesting fact? PLEASE!!!!

Hey Ivan, thanks for the comments. Its great to know that us bikers and bikers wives have supplied you with some useful facts.

<br>I adore this bike, and seriously want one of my own, but my husband says I must start off with something smaller such as 600cc. Riding pillion on the Busa was just fantastic, but the g-force when my husband put opened the throttle was a little scary and I had difficulty holding on.
<br>
<br>This bike is not to be taken lightly, being the fastest road bike of all time, but I really do hope you enjoy when you get one. If you can get one that has not been restricted, please be careful - I think they started restricting it in about 2000 or 2001 - all those prior to that are not restricted.
<br>
<br>Being winter, we have not been out recently, but I cannot wait for Spring so that we can get out again, and just enjoy the feel of this phenominal bike.

I have owned my Suzuki Hayabusa GSX 1300R for 2 years now. I am totally pleased with it. I nearly bought a Blackbird and am really glad I didn't. Not because the blackbird is a bad bike it just hasn't got that special feeling you get when you sit on one, or ride the Busa.
