Odd as it sounds I replaced the busa with a 2019 honda cb500x because 95% + of my riding time is urban commuting and the busa was honestly a chore to ride in the city due to the combination of massive hp, weight. long wheel base and tall gearing. The 500x is sooo good and comfy and easy as a commuter I love it!...and I still have a bandit 1250 when I need a torque fix ;)

I just love the Hayabusa and it's cult like following. The look of the Hayabusa is unmistakable. I give Suzuki a thumbs up for leaving the styling alone after all these years. I've wanted one since the early 2000s and was just finally able to get the guts to purchase one. What an incredible machine!!! Sure, there are quicker bikes available now days but this thing has way more than I'll ever need or be able to use as it was in stock form. Even so, I couldn't resist the temptation to make it faster and change a few things that I thought could be improved from original. I've added a Brock's Performance exhaust system and some other performance mods that I'm pretty sure will make it roost any stock ZX 14 on the street. The exhaust system is absolutely beautiful and also much lighter than the original. Other than the aftermarket chain and sprockets which are much lighter and stronger along with the exhaust, you would think it's completely factory original by walking up and looking at it. While it's winter and way too cold to ride anyway, I've decided to take it completely apart and give it some body mods and a new custom paint job. The paint was nice as original but I just want it to be personalized just for me. The cost of the paint job would be way out of my budget but thankfully I have a paint and body shop at my home equipped with everything I need to make it a showpiece. I recently retired from a forty + year career in painting cars and motorcycles, alot of it being in the crazy custom sector of the industry, so finally will have some time to take care of a few of my long awaited visions of way back. I really enjoy getting online and watching your videos and others like them for both enjoyment and motivation. Thank you for this great video between the Hayabusa and the ZX14, I really appreciate all that you do!!! Keep up the good work ok and I'll keep watching!

Hello Kwackajack, Thank you for your reply to my comment. The Hayabusa is actually my 4th bike taking a spot in my garage. Along with the Busa is a tricked out Harley Davidson V-rod 2006, a fully restored 1990 Yamaha Venture, and a just recently finished last winter, a completely restored 1989 Honda Goldwing. As you can see, I really enjoy taking an old bike, completely disassemble, suspension upgrades, engine and exhaust upgrades, brakes and electrical, follow all of this with a complete high quality Glasurit 3 stage urethane paint job. The V-rod has the most exotic paint job out of all of them, it is a wildly customized bike! Whenever it is parked at a restaurant or even just refueling, always draws a crowd. The Yamaha has a very unique custom paint job, from a distance it looks like a candy red paint job with the traditional two-tone panels. It's funny, when people get close to this bike they always have to touch it. Reason being, the two-toned panels are actually air brushed to look like real wood, and it really does look real. Inside the panels, over the top of the airbrushed wood
@kellymackie3982
3 жыл бұрын
Sorry, didn't finish explaining the paint job. I'm old and not very computer wize so I wish I knew how to just send photos along with the comment but I don't so I'll continue where I left off. On the Venture paint scheme, over the top of the airbrushed wood is a double layer of ghost flames done in rustic looking colors with a dropped shadow airbrushed to make them appear to be standing a 1/4" above the wood. Then to finish off the two-toned panels there are tiny gold and orange pinstripes that separate the two colors, which also make the panels appear more dimensional. All of this is followed with multiple coats of clear, wet sanded between to produce glass like finish when completed. The before mentioned Goldwing I was lucky enough to find from the original owner. Only having just over 30k miles and excellent care and maintenance it's entire life, It was the closest thing to factory perfect original that you have ever seen, incredible score! At first, I wanted to change the color and make it more my style but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. So after completely dismantling it, I matched the color and painted only a few parts that had flaws that were too much to just polish out with the buffing machine. It's a perfect old guy bike, it has lots of chrome, original paint color and just all around mint condition, looks like it was taken out of a time capsule. It is my most favorite bike for all around riding. Every time I take it for a long ride and really get to use it for what it was made for, I wonder how something so old can perform so amazing. I've ridden my friend's 2016 model for a long ride and you know what, it really isn't that much different. Crazy huh? The V-rod paint that I was talking about earlier is way too complicated to explain without you actually seeing. It has panels of wavy airbrushed, black n white checkerboard outlined with broken granite, in some areas, the broken and missing chunks of granite reveal the checkerboard below which is shaded with the airbrush to appear to be very deep below. This is all going on over the top portion of all of the body parts and then below that on both sides is a double layer of multi colored pearl flames. Like I said, there is so much more but just too hard to explain. If I had to pay for these paint jobs on my bikes I could never afford to have such elaborate paint work so I am very thankful that God gave me that gift. Since I was a young kid, I would never leave my toys and then bicycles, then dirt bikes, I always had to change them so they were something no one else could copy. In 1975 I bought my first legal street bike, a brand new Yamaha RD 350. That little bike was a rocket for it's size back in those days and got me in alot of trouble because of it. It was beautiful to my eyes but I just couldn't leave it alone either. Within 6 months of buying it, I changed the color from the factory orange to a bright blue metallic with yes, you guessed it, more flames. I've always just loved a great flame job! While I was painting it, a friend took the engine and did a bunch of porting work, changed the Reed valves, and we ordered those cool low slung twin black expansion chambers, (exhaust system). That thing was so fast after that, I could beat pretty much anyone unless they were riding the Kawasaki 750 triple. Believe me, it would hang with and actually beat most of the Kawasaki 500s that ever tangled with it back then. Another friend went to Hinshaws Honda, bought a brand new 1976 Honda 750 4 cylinder. After he was all broken in and comfortable with the bike, he thought he was going show me how fast his pig of a bike was. That was a blast! That little Yamaha ran off and left that 750 so far in the dust, incredible lesson he learned that day! So funny! Someday I would really like to find one that hasn't been molested too bad, (probably impossible) and restore it to the exact clone of the one I had way back then. Maybe next project. Sorry, kind of got off track with my thoughts. In highschool I was fortunate enough to land a job in an auto body paint shop so for the rest of my career I could keep improving my craft. Now that I am retired I can finally build my long awaited Hayabusa project. Since the last time we talked, I have completely dismantled it and getting all the body parts ready for paint. Like I told you before, I have always been in love with the Hayabusa and knew what I want it to look like long before I ever purchased one. The main body color will be the super bright orange tangerine pearl with a few coats of tangerine candy to give it a deep vivid glow. I know what I think I want for the graphics colors but don't want to say until I do my spray out samples and make a decision. I really like the custom chrome wheels that are available but want to make sure that they won't affect the high speed stability and handling. I would love to get your input on this. If the wheels aren't as good as the stock wheels I can always paint the stock to look even better than chrome so having a hard time deciding. The extended swingarm fat tire kit is a really cool look but would completely trash the handling characteristics, (and the $7,000 price tag) so that idea is a no go. I've bought a ton of parts that I think will really help make it what I'm hoping for but also open to any suggestions. Anyway, this will keep me busy for a little while and I will keep you updated on the project. I'm really glad I found your channel, not much into forums or anything like that but having a pal in Australia who I can share with and bounce ideas sounds pretty cool so, I'll definitely stay in touch ok. If you ever decide to make the trip to Eatonville Washington USA, I will have a bike for you to ride while you're visiting. We have some beautiful places to ride starting just two minutes from my door ranging from sport bike, to touring, or even just all around cruising and checking out the scenery. Great chatting with ya! Happy holidays. I think it's actually your summer time so stay safe and keep the right side up when you're riding the bikes

I know guys that are fortunate enough to have both. Gotta be patient: the 14R has so much engine, the designers used every last inch with fairings clearances.

If you ride everything you know nothing is as reliable as a BUSA as consistent as a Bus and the best value!!!! and when you do as kawi did throwing a boost on the motor and compare side by side then BUSA blows it and everything away as it has always apples for apples horsepower to horsepower!!! PS go to the tracks around the world and 99% BUSA yes the odd kiwi shows up usual breaks down as first run and thy are out. Kawi is decades behind due to reliability issues in their engineers and ps kiwi tries to copy Suzuki as all bike companies do !!SUZUKI BUSA is the GOLD standard!!due your homework otherwise you think like Harley people who Harley ride due to breakdowns!!! SCIENCE 101 study the issues and in the end reliability and low cost wins every time!!! plus kawi looks so ugly jaded lines like the bike has cancer with paint on it!!BUSA smooth sleek and so comfortable and your BALLS still work afterward kawi pain in legs after 30min nuts are fried and sure you get 10sec res then the fun is over.

You tell someone you ride a Hayabusa or just say "a Busa" and they'll know exactly what you're talking about. The Busa has massive street cred and a styling that's timeless. The ZX14 is a faster bike but it's got no where near the street cred or following like the Busa. And now with the '22 Busa out with it's unreal amount of tech, it's easily one the best bikes on sale today anywhere.

The ZX14-R is a beaut and a tempting option, but...... I own a 1st gen Hayabusa, it's a bit out dated, but will never trade it for any other. Looking forward to the 3rd Gen Hayabusa. Busa all the way.

What’s the point in this? This is like crazy irrelevant lol. Especially at this point in time. Everybody just buy what you like and keep it moving. You want power, then go supercharged or turbocharge your bike. You want comfort then just snatch up a sports touring bike or go full blown cruiser.

I tried it last year and I was globally impressed! I rode it cause it was one of the few available during that test ride so I tried it without any expectation or bias and I really was positively surprised. It is a very complete motorcycle! I am currently trying to convince my girlfriend that it is comfortable for travelling also as a pillion, would you say that I am lying? It looks so... only one doubt, the passenger grip (the one right behind the passenger saddle) look really small and uncomfortable not providing good grip nor stability...

@@carlodubois4102 the only bike I regret selling. I’ve owned between 20-25 bikes from sport to cruiser and by far the zx14r in my opinion was the best all around. My wife loved riding with me on it. She claimed it was comfortable but was scared of the power when passing cars. The only place the busa wins in my book is in the top rpms it feels like it never quits where the 14r loves red light to red light but starts losing its grunt at about 130mph.

Own both. a 2002 40th anniversary "pumpkin" Busa and a 2006 ZX14 lightning Blue. Now these are older mechanicals but the ZX14 is smoother and more comfortable at speed to ride farther. The Busa is a raw machine. Balance and heavier weight (IMHO) affect handling. Busa launches hard. ZX launches less so but speed builds faster. When I ride, I usually choose the ZX.

Had 2 14’s and just went back to busa, I just couldn’t stand the difficulty of working on the 14 due to the frame design. Even accessing the battery sucks, the plugs are a 2 hour job, the side plastic tabs snap off very easy. Busa may lack power, but just a very well designed bike for ease to work on and quality just feels better.

Yes the Busa is very stable on a bumpy road/interstate. My Harley StreetGlide doesn't take the bumps as good as my Busa. Take care 👊

You are correct on quality. Plus you wont have to maintenance it as much. The zx14 has a poor frame design. It takes 2 hrs to change out the plugs. The battery is a pain to replace. The plastic tabs get worn down and loose going down the road. Overheats but can be remedied with an extra fan. I had 3 zx14s and 2 Busas. I put helibars and the Buell peg mod on and it was just as comfy as the zx14. The Busa's manners are better for slow town riding and in parking lots. Both are great bikes to ride but i would only own the Busa out of the 2 for now on. I have a 09' StreetGlide and 15' Busa. Best of both worlds. Im hoping for the 2021 Busa if it ever comes out. Take care 👊

I’m sure the Hayabusa is a blast to ride. The ZX14R is far better looking to me though. Mine is a green and black 2015. Kawasaki has also created a brand/image that appeals to me. Jonathan Rea has much to do with that. Evident in that I also own a ZX10RR and an H2 with full Brock’s Stage II @284 HP. I feel kinship with all riders, especially sport bike riders but just feel especially proud of Kawasaki’s achievements, designs, game-changing new products and best looks at every price point... at least to my eyeballs.
