Gen 3 Latest report ..

Of course, it’s on a floor dyno with the rear wheel spinning the drum. HP @ the motor doesn’t need to spin the tire. And BusaDawg, @ 188/193 whp the motor has to have 200 or nearly 200.
That's what I thought but usually spec sheet go by crank not to the wheel and everyone saying hp went down this gen so what's the deal ?

How much HP have you seen a Suzuki spec sheet showing? The videos above are from an aftermarket tuner aren’t they? I agree though, most manufacture spec sheets list HP taken @ the motor.
 
I still think I'm gonna go with brocks black full penta carbon with sprint filter pc programmer (for now) sprocket and velocity stacks to start with and for sure have over 200 rwhp no problem maybe get her to 210 rwhp with race fuel then one day ecu flash get her over 220 rwhp ... strive for one day to get 230 rwhp then I might wet myself... cant wait to throw flames lol...1441 cc who ?

Mcnews.com full review... takes both gen 2 and gen 3 to the track and states night and day difference also says it feels turboish without the turbo...nice!!! His final thoughts his words not mine ... PHENOMENAL!

It will probably need one with a full system like that especially when eliminating the cats...

I wonder if the ECU has been cracked yet?
Why dont Akro (who Suzuki use on their GP bikes) and Suzuki team up and combo the full system and a factory ECU up grade to suit , no need for dyno.

Triumph do with Arrow - in that case its a flash from your Triumph dealer.

Ducati and Akro do a combined ECU and exhaust - its expensive but sorted, a friend bought his Diavel back from Canada to NZ and it runs really sweet AND fast for what it is.

I'd say with all the work Suzuki did to the motor, this thing is choked out-big time...opening up and removing all those restrictions should unleash it and make good power numbers...far better numbers than the gen 2.

With the usual mods a gen 2 (pipe, filter) will make in the mid to high 180 rwhp number, the gen 3 should at least be in the mid to high 190 rwhp number...it might require cam changes though....

Kind of reminds me of the GM 454s of the '80s, they were choked out so much they were making something like 180hp...you could hardly see the engine for all the smog crap they had on that thing...
 
Every person who has spoke on the gen 3 says it has 188 bhp whereas the gen 2 has 194 bhp...that tells me it has 188 to the crank not wheel...

MCN's article reflects that:

Everywhere I've read including Suzuki's official specs claim 187bhp which is crank hp, directly off the end of the crank, nothing else connected. That's the same as an 06-07 zx14, which are no slouches. You lose around 12 hp at the back wheel due to the parasitic losses of the clutch and transmission, chain drag, and turning the back wheel and associated parts like disc drag etc.

Tire inflation and bearing resistance can also be a factor. And stretched swingarms and wide tires are a known hp sponge on the dyno and the street... especially in roll on racing. They're best for high hp drag racing where the launch counts.

Take 12hp off the crank rating and you'll be pretty close to the rwhp. So the gen 3 stock should lay down an average of about 175rwhp, give or take stingy or happy dynos. Most full exhausts add between 10-14rwhp with a good tune. So 188 at the rear wheel is right in the ballpark.... slightly more or less depending on happy or stingy dynos, and variables like low tire pressures which suck some hp and dry chains or over tightened chains, dragging discs and higher resistance wheel bearings. Some guys even pry the pads off the rear discs (the pads normally slightly drag on the discs) to get slightly higher numbers.

There's so many variables a knowledgeable dyno guy can do it's hard to go by dyno numbers alone. Your best bet is to go with the average numbers once we get a lot of owners posting up their numbers.

One thing I do know is the gen 3 mod for mod is going to be putting out a lot more power than my gen 1 in a much more refined package... and my modded gen 1 was the most enjoyable bike I've ever ridden.... more so even than my quicker ZX14. So anybody that rides a gen 3 and claims it's no fun is lying to themselves. That bike is going to be a blast to ride, I don't care who you are :race: If I was in the market for another busa I'd have no qualms about picking up a gen 3 :super:
 
Just read that the New Busa sold out in 2 days in India upon its official release!
The draw of this bike is astounding really...

Imagine the outcry if say BMW launched their latest S1000RR with a lower hp rating...their owners would be marching with pitch forks and torches...and bikes would be sitting on showroom floors until they dissolved...

We Hayabusa owners are just happy the bike was made again....which says quite a bit about our loyalty.

I think people are going to be pretty happy with this bike, and for the people who like to modify them, I think this bike will respond well to mods..

As most of us know here busa's give a whole different riding experience than most other bikes because of the big engine, big torque, super easily accessible power everywhere, and the ability to make big speed and acceleration, and make it seem instant and effortless. Those kind of thrills never go out of style, and are super addictive. That's why the busa is still so popular. Peak power isn't the end all be all, in fact I would argue power delivery like a busa's is more fun than a peakier, more powerful liter bike's.

It's alot like driving a high revving, high power small block V8 or turbocharged 6 or 4 versus an equal power big block... the big blocks instant push you back in the seat and keep you there power delivery is just more fun than the wait and wind up delivery of the smaller motors....at least for me and a lot of other Hayabusa fans :beerchug:
 
Suzuki knows this after 13 years they know we needed another one regardless off cc increase and with covid and euro 5 just happy to see her fly for years to come...bikes aren't being made as much right now let alone a new model we got lucky if you think about it most bikes get a refresh every 5 years 13 years is a long time...
