Brocks derestriction of the gen3 Hayabusa

[chrisso]

For those of us not interested in owning the fastest most powerful bike on the planet I'm happy with the direction Suzuki took with the Gen III because I have all the HP and torque I need in the rev range where I spend most of my time riding.

Yup, same. The fact they took the Hayabusa donk and made it Euro 5 compliant with only a small loss in peak power and torque is amazing. They did a good job minimising the size of the cat, which on other Euro 5 bikes look like metallic ball sacks hanging down.

@smithabusa i would like to know if with this new box is posible just to allow the secondaries to open to the max without eliminating the abs, neither the cruise control features?

I think they could have made it easier to tune out. Three years and these guys are still working on it? Cripes, what better reason to NOT to buy a brand new bike? I'm glad I have my Gen2. It truly is a great bike. It's great even against the 14R. ...but at the end of the day, I'd just buy an older bike that has credibility rather than buy a new bike that has a reputation for being kind of slow. Suzuki decided....they decided wrong. I hope there is a Gen4 and I hope they get it right like the way our US Presidential election got right this time.

If you want an actual fast bike you need a turbo lol

Turbos and superchargers are one way to go for certain.....

I think Suzuki basically built the Gen 3 as a platform for the aftermarket to develop.....they in Suzuki know full well that most of the Hayabusas in North America will get the aftermarket treatment for the most part yet still made it decent as a stock bike...

They lost the hyperbike war long ago......probably in 2001 when the first restricted Hayabusa rolled out of the factory....

Now if they would have turned the Hayabusa into a hyper tour bike with factory bags, higher bars and windshield, it would have been in a class of it's own....

Sorry i know the bike doesnt have secondaries the question is if this new box works without eliminating the abs or the cruise control.

I hear ya man. Brock said that Suzuki didn't want to lend a hand with it at all. I bought the gen3 because of the TTS Superbusa. I've just about got the bike where I want it now.

Dustin, that is amazing!

Suzuki put mid range cams and smaller throttle bodies in it for mid range which made getting power out of it harder..

I think overall it's a better looking bike than the gen 2 (but not gen 1).

If we look at it, it took 7+/- years for Suzuki to come up with a gen 2 and 14 years +/- to come up with gen 3......I wouldn't hold my breath for a gen 4 any time soon.....

It's the ECU restrictions that are preventing us from having the fastest Hayabusa ever built. The tuners are still going crazy figuring out what they are and how to bypass them. The mechanical parts should be pretty easy to modify. That's the thing, back in 2008, the restrictions were mainly mechanical with a few electronics that were easy to bypass. I think they designed the bikes with a path to derestrict them.

For those of us not interested in owning the fastest most powerful bike on the planet I'm happy with the direction Suzuki took with the Gen III because I have all the HP and torque I need in the rev range where I spend most of my time riding.

Unfortunately, I'm not that practical! You're right though, the overwhelming majority of my sport riding requires low speed performance. I'm not going to do that crazy crap over 70 mph! The triple digits thing used to happen in just about every ride but only a few seconds. Even so, I need those bragging rights even if I don't plan to put them to the test! @Bumblebee mentioned the aesthetics of the three Gens of Hayabusa. I think the Gen3 hit the bullseye for beauty. The appearance fits current trends of sport bike design while retaining the dignity of the Hayabusa tradition. They really made a beautiful Gen3 Hayabusa.

The other issue is that unlike in 1999 when it released the Gen 1, Suzuki has since understood the futility of reaching for stratospheric top speed smack downs when much lighter and high-spec'd litre bikes do the job just as well if not better.

Yes, that always has been a thorn in my side! Even as early as 2008, there was competition for the hyperbikes coming from liter bikes. I would like to own one someday but I wouldn't give up my busa or my 14s just to own a literbike....and when I do go really fast (like flat out top speed) I want to be on a big bike. It just seems a lot safer. I'd only do that on an LSR course where it should be safe for any bike but it doesn't matter where you are or what bike you're on if you crash at 180+ mph. The trick is to not crash and I trust a longer, heavier bike for that.

Just you wait ma bruva, jus you wait. Already doing my research. Looking into a stage 2 intercooled system with Garrett turbo. As for fast, I really don't know. I see the stage 1 spinning in third gear well north of 100 mph. I actually think it's going to be a challenge to ride a 400 hp motorcycle but I need to do it. Sure it will hit stellar top speeds if you can get it into 5th gear without crashing. LSR is in my future. I'm not trying this on the road.
