Sounds like a nice step in the right direction in terms of performance and gadgets and what hing the gear changes the rev counter doesn't move at all.
I reckon the 0-60 could have been faster as he slipped the clutch for a fairly long time... Just can't tell if he was still learning the bite point and not using the launch control

The speed shifter makes a huge difference too I reckon, at least it does on mine.
Except UK and Euro owners that have taken delivery are reporting the paperwork lists it as a 2021 so somewhere things got messed up.
I've forgotten...do you currently ride a Hayabusa??

Sadly no I had a 99 and 08 years ago and put over 70k miles on those bad boys... recently sold my se zx14r after 10k miles and been waiting on gen 3 for years so 2 months ain't no thang! Was gonna buy a used s1000rr or h2 but not now no sir not a chance! I almost bought new h2 sx se + glad I looked and saw new model was coming out and decided to hold off after riding one then like 2 days later saw mcn gen 3 video and it was a wrap... smh today in florida is perfect weather for riding! Damn by June it will be raining every day sucks...

OK, that explains a lot...and why you are so eager for a gen 3....
It was almost too early for Suzuki to release the Hayabusa and not have it already shipped out...people such yourself are pretty ramped up waiting for the bike to get here.
That's like porn dude !!!!
I guess fred cummings lied to me then, but why? I just called them back, said never had one wth. sorry I got yall testosterone up men, just relayed what I heard, and no April fools either. Relax now, deep breathe, exhale, again.

Yeah Bumblebee not too many people can say they had a 99 busa at the age of 18 I traded a quad, seadoo and 3k for it at moroso and wish I still had it I've been looking for another but hard to find stock with low miles... I had to keep it at a friend's house since my parents said if I got one they would kick me out no joke...so this bike was my first and the memories are endless and now 10 years later just as happy to have another one and since I had 08 I've had both zx14s 06 and 16 so been a long time and its funny I've only owned used and never lost money selling them heck this bike was paid for by flipping toys lol nice to finally have a new one...always wanted the looks of the gsxr led lighting cruise and quickshifter had 10 awsomes bikes and never had it so can't wait would've been nice to have heated grips and navigation but I can add that and mount my phone so no biggie when I get this bike I will be 18 again the zx14s made me feel older and always had more fun on the busa! Will post pick day 1... first day ceramic coat, remove stickers, bicycle reflectors and paint all exposed bolts black and blackout chrome trim. Then a long trip down to the keys to see my family and back rack them 600 miles up quick then go to work!

“Bruce launches the Suzuki up the runway in a snarling flurry of revs. He crosses the 60mph mark in 2.69 seconds.
2.49 seconds later (5.18 seconds from standstill) he’s doing 100mph.
5.53 seconds after that, 10.71 seconds from standstill, Bruce and the Hayabusa are creasing physics at 150mph. Let that sink in – just over 10 seconds to hit a ton and half.
And a mere 16.35 seconds from standstill, Bruce and the Suzuki are doing 169.49mph – in fifth, with one more gear to go.
For Bruce, timing is – literally – everything: the end of the runway is approaching at the rate of 76 metres per second. Bruce shuts off and brakes with 300 metres and four seconds of concrete left. His margin for error timing his braking is around half a second. At nearly 170mph that, I would say, takes a fair pair of spuds.
The Suzuki’s new Brembo Stylema radial calipers and enlarged 320mm discs plough a concrete furrow as revised 42mm KYB forks and new front Bridgestone B22 eat into the runway. Newly-sophisticated ABS balances-in a bit of rear brake and sets off brake hazard warning lights, in case anything is coming up fast behind (although what Suzuki expect to keep up with an unleashed Hayabusa is moot), as the Hayabusa kills speed like a Hamamatsu-sized anchor.
And that, ladies and gents, is the fastest-accelerating stock production bike Bruce has measured in over 30 years of professional performance testing. Faster than any litre sportsbike, either Gen1 or Gen2 Hayabusas, faster than any ZZR1400 and faster than an H2 SX SE.
It’s official, kinda: the 2021 Hayabusa is still the boss.”

I'll wait and base my judgement on official stats done by proper measuring devices such s laser and radar.
The spec numbers don't match the performance numbers.
Don't know who does these timings but there are several bikes which have faster 0-60 times.

I wouldn't put any faith in that 0-60 site timings when it says a GSX 1250 FA is 2.9s which they say is 0.2 faster than the Aprilia RSV4 and equal to a B-King.. i've owned them all and the 1250 FA hasn't a chance of being equal or faster.
To me those are drag strip times for a mix of stock and modded bikes.
MCN etc will tie a datalogger to a Busa soon enough...oh wait Bruce was using one
'We’re parked at the far end of the 0.8-mile runway at Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire, with ace performance tester Bruce Dunn and a 2D GPS datalogger (as used in MotoGP).'
I did note they had it at 169.5 but yet the speedo was close to 180 so clearly the usual speed inaccuracies still apply.

If it turns out to be all they are saying right now, it is about time the Hayabusa (in stock form) comes back to dominate the hyperbike segment.
New video from Bennett's, the VLogger should have been on a gen 2 before getting on this one for a better comparison...

Good times straight out the box! King Of speed is back in business under a 10 second qm and 0 to 60 faster then a tesla in ludacris mode and could only knock it for fuel consumption lol ... what do you expect when your doing mach 1 speeds ... marking the days off the calendar!
Same as all generations of Hayabusa, it will be something to be proud of...
