Busa vs VFR800 - Suzuki Hayabusa Decimates Honda - Kings of the Street Part 2 Clip

[ElDummkopf]

Horrible match up... Super sport vs. Sport tour?

[Monsterb1000]

All sport bikes are clearly not created equal, but VFR is a "Sport Touring" + its a 800 not 1300!!!

[R0BL0W]

I have a VFR and I love it. I still like this video though. The Hayabusa is an awesome machine and pitting it against the VFR isn't a bad idea for a demo of just how quick the Suzuki is. The Honda's hardly a baby, after all, so this shows what you can do with a few more cc.

That's a pretty flappy elbow on the Honda rider though. He should see someone about that.

[MetricHotrodsdotcom]

Put Kevin Schwantz's 1993 Suzuki RGV500 against a Hayabusa. Even with nearly triple the displacement, and 18 years of development, the 'busa would look like a fucking rhinocerous on iceskates.

[spinrb8r]

my money's on the Ninja 250................but seriously, I make a steady diet of destroying Busa's on my VFR. Sorry for U that believe the hype.

[mvolesky1]

How about you do a video comparing the Hayabusa to the BMW S1000RR. Because clearly all bikes are not created equal...

[mvolesky1]

No shit? The GSX1300R is faster than the VFR 800? Well, whodathunkit... Are you going to do another video comparing a Vespa to the 'Busa? "Well, since they both have two wheels, you might think that they are equally fast, but even when we give the Vespa a 2 minute head start the 'Busa easily overtakes it." No shit, Sherlock. Guess what? People don't buy a VFR because they are insanely fast, they buy them because you can ride one all day without needing a chiropractor.

[ZoneTelevision]

I agree with a lot of the comments here comparing two different class of bikes was a pointless exercise. Having that said the VFr is an illustration of a gentleman's bike vs something designed to rearrange your face just twisting the throttle. And yes the VFr 800 is an example of refined engineering for a variety of riding.

[cptnrickstar]

@ZoneTelevision I agree with you. They are comparing 800cc vs 1300cc. VFR refined and a work out engineering.

[alexarcano]

Erm... I concurr with almost every comment, Vfr is a sports tourer (classed in the UK anyhow) and the hyabusa is classed as a supersports.... Also the VFR is an 800 cc. Besides The VFR is still good for an easy 160 mph (at least mine was, on the track obviously), which is more than enough for even the terminally derranged. And if that bores you, put a supercharger on it, or get a pure sports bike and suffer the back pain and unreliability.

[996artichoke]

honda vtec kept right up with r6 gixxer cbr zx6 at willow springs cycle world comparison several years back

[TH42692]

no fucking shit sport bikes are not created equal, they are two entirely different classes of bike why even compare them

[hedning003]

omg...first of all,vfr is not a sportbike,it's a touring-bike.

comparing any sportbike against a vfr is like comparing a ferarri whith a bmw

the vfr is an exelent allrounder...drive it for 400km and u'll still live..drive a busa,r1 or whatever for 400km and u'll need a new ass and spinalcord.

but take the busa and the vfr to a racetrack whith fast turns,and the busa will eat the dust,due to it's long wheelbase

[JensTwn]

When that busa enginge is dead and burried in the junkyard the vfr v4 still rides on. Many of you are forgetting one thing and im surprised even the videomaker didnt understand it, and that is that the Hayabusa is built for 300km/h from the beginning and the Vfr is NOT, the busa was made with the concept to be the fastest bike in the world so why compare these two machines when they are not built to match from the start.

[mhansen146]

Im gonna make a video of me racing an old Norton on my cbr6, then comment on how you may assume they are about the same speed and generally look similar, but they are CLEARLY not...

[mhansen146]

VFR8 was the natural evolution of the top 80's and 90's racing technology into a long lasting sport tourer.

The Busa is a heavy duty truckcycle meant for hauling around 400 pound girls on the back, adorning with spikes, terrible neon metal flake colors, air brushed pornographic images and japanese symbols then eventually crashing in a canyon when you realize your busa is really just a 220 hp Goldwing. Thanks again for supplying that gem of a motor to yet another lotus super 7 project!

[mhansen146]

Typical Suzuki showing off by challenging something completely inappropriate and in a very different class.

[deaddogblue]

I DID LIKE THE VIDEO. I DRIVE A 99 VFR800FI I ALSO LIKE THE BUSA IM A BIKE FAN I JUST LOVE TO RIDE SO IF UR A TRUE BIKE RIDER THIS VIDEO IS JUST THAT A VIDEO AND WELL PUT TOGETHER ONE JUST THE SAME I STILL LOVE MY VFR MIKE

[deaddogblue]

I DID LIKE THE VIDEO. I DRIVE A 99 VFR800FI I ALSO LIKE THE BUSA IM A BIKE FAN I JUST LOVE TO RIDE SO IF UR A TRUE BIKE RIDER THIS VIDEO IS JUST THAT A VIDEO AND WELL PUT TOGETHER ONE JUST THE SAME I SYILL LOVE MY VFR MIKE

[MrBbogucki]

now try that with the bmw 1000rr and watch and see how big of a pos that busa is oh what here we go 250 ninja vs busa down the dragons tail!!!! or yellow birds gold wing!!!!!

[M2fiftycal]

Look at the VFRs roll on speeds. A CBR600RR blows it away from a roll on, so why even compare this bike to a Busa? Pointless.

[Internationlriders]

Cool, I love both bikes, I have a vfr and will be getting a 'Busa' in the near future. It's a little too much bike for city riding though!

[espenl]

What a stupid comparison!

[savagelife005busa]

Lol silly Busa is King!

[VCRAGE]

One of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

[JayzBeerz]

I want to see a Busa, ZX-14 and an FZ6R go at it, LOL!

[redm1stdescended]

That chap that's videoing - what's he riding - looks honda but might be wrong? Anyways, cameraman's got revs to spare, maybe he and 'heavy right wrist boy' should swap, cos the camera bike keeps up without a sweat

[GeneralDelta]

This is a comical comparison. It amazes me this was filmed, as though anybody but the utterly uninitiated would think a 149Mph bike would be able to keep pace with a 218Mph bike (before they started governing the busa). The only thing that surprised me was that the busa didn't level the VFR behind faster. Personally I'd like to see some VFRs with the A&A supercharger upgrade tested beside other bikes, that might actually be interesting, but I still don't think it would match the busa.

[acteuro03]

Worst video ever made. Vfr800 is a sports tourer! Was never designed to be a race bike. Vfr is ~780cc... Busa is closer to double that... And saying they look the same? My 3 yr old cousin could tell the two apart.... Idiots

[birdfly43]

yeah well.......

talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight



[nribeiro5401]

My father already beat Busa guys... And CBR 1000 RR. Try a drag race with both and a good driver in the VFR!!! You will see what Im talking about!

[Chobe75]

This video is the biggest wank of all time!!.... and the knob on the VFR might as well be using a wip on the back of the bike to make things more dramatic.... because his nevous tic/ twitch on his arm just looks ridiculous.... haha... Idiots!!!

[StreakingTiger]

I just bought an 07 VFR800 - but NOT to attempt to out run a Busa. Why the heck would anyone bother to do that? Clearly totally different bikes. The VFR is the best in it's class, and the Busa is probably best in it's class - but they are in different classes. Stupid comparison IMO, but hey - it's your video - so do what you wish.

Put the VFR and the Busa in some tight curves - but be ready to get your panties in a wad. LOL

[omsigbug]

oooooh i have a nice comparison for your busa.

Its about the same cc as your busa only bit less but it does the trick.

Its called D16 RR Ducati.

Good luck......LOL

[omsigbug]

You have to love suzuki riders...hahahahahahahahahhaha­hahah

-''Comming up!!! Next sunday....Suzuki Hayabusa bone stock oblidarates Honda CBR 125R.....''

[bdhor71]

I have an 09 vfr &10 busa, hmm what shall i say ? put the power of the busa in the vfr and you have the perfect bike, oh they have the new vfr 1200 :) now i dont need 2 bikes, just have to wait for the prices come down :( I get your point, but really? most bikes look fast, except HD.. so it isnt a real good comparo.. and why is that guy ringing the throttle like that ??? lol. i enjoy riding the vfr more, its just the feel of the bike and how it rides. the busas power!! that is soo addictive

[Kacz101stABNDIV]

apples and oranges.. 1300cc vs. 800cc V-4 lol whatever makes your busa boys dicks feel bigger

[aminevich]

I own a VFR and your comments hurt my Mangina...seriously? Why did they put a VFR (which I will never sell as I love mine) against a motorcycle that was clearly made by Wile E Coyote and the Acme company (you'd have to have balls of steel to ride one)?! Also, I think that this test was unfair as the VFR rider has turrets and cannot stop his throttle arm from flapping..dumbest shootout I've ever seen.

[FullTiltLife]

@aminevich Okay. That was an amusing comment, I grant you. This little matchup continues to rile people up. I've stopped replying to comments as they are a little repetitive.

BTW, I've got a Smart Car vs. Veyron coming up. Bet ya can't wait, right?

[MAXELLION]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuhhhhhhhhh!

[eelmcd]

This is a dumb comparison.

[romanval69]

Next up: a suzuki hayabusa outruns a 400cc Burgman scooter

[Mr19111942]

Нашли,что сравнивать!Ясен пень ХАЯБИЦА тут же показала задний фонарь VFR-ру.Совершенно не корректное сравнение байков.

[owens10101]

i love my busa!!

[jakke1975]

lol

i am a VFR owner and I find all these comments very amusing.... mine is faster... no mine....

it all depends what you're using the bike for. You can beat a VFR on a Busa on twisty roads? Fine... you're competing against a driver that is less capable.

Take out a VFR on a track, and I'm inclined to say ANY track, then take the Busa and try to get the same laptimes. It's gonna be real hard!

Same if you try to beat a Busa on a straight with VFR... it's just not gonna work.

[aminevich]

@jakke1975 Honestly, as a VFR owner, I've been trounced by a guy on a 400cc bike. He rode like a bat out of hell. I later found he was on Cocaine at the time...but he seemed to defy gravity and the laws of physics. So, I believe the bike cannot make the rider. It's the rider who makes it. I'd love to see a shoot-out for 10 laps with a guy on a VFR, Busa, whatever, on a race track vs a professional rider on a 250 cc (say Ninja R). Now, that's entertainment! p.s. VFR rules..lol

[benoitcaron]

"All sport bikes are not created equal" - you call the VFR 800 a sport bike?

If my auntie had some I'd call her uncle!

[jakke1975]

@benoitcaron

it's sports touring... not purely sports. neither is the hayabusa!

but yeah, it's enough of a sportsbike to take it to a track and have a lot of fun with it, even among fireblades and R1s.

it's also enough of a touring bike to take it for a couple thousand km trip and arrive absolutely relaxed.

Feeling bad you don't own one? ;-)

[benoitcaron]

@jakke1975

Good one Jake. Don't get me wrong, the VFR is a lovely bike, super comfy and quite good in twisties. I just find the comparison ludicrous because of such the difference in CCs. Demonstrating the Busa's superiority in a straight line vs. VFR? ludicrous, but then again, doing the same thing on a track vs. an R1 or a GSX-R750 would be pointless too. The VFR is a highly competent bike in all aspects; but as they say: jack of all, king of none. And that's perfectly fine.

Cheers =)

[macdaddy1600]

I HAVE A 1998 VFR 800 THE BEST BIKE ALL AROUND ITS FAST HANDLES GREAT what more do you need you can only do the speed limit VFR IS GOOD FOR 155 MPH THATS FAST

[worldtravel101]

thats not much of a race lol. my 600rr will spank a ninja250, but i dont think id bother to record a video of it lol... this video does certainly show the power of the hayabusa...... for those that havent figured it out yet.... dont fuck with one! lol

[85Robke]

idiot! those are 2 totally different bikes, both excellent machines but don't go comparing mosquitos with elephants!!!!

[darkknight17]

@85Robke

Wrong. The Busa is excellent, the VFR is CRAP.

[85Robke]

@darkknight17

i'll take my crap and follow you around the track anyday.... watch my video...

[Evogelion]

Thats some bad acting by the VFR rider nobody does that crap.  You guys made it purposely look slower than it actually is. Sure the VFR would loose to a busa in a strait line, its not designed for that. Put an experienced rider on the VFR and it spank a busa rider in the twisties. Created Equal? Isn't that busa also modified? Suzuki is the Squid king of street bikes.

[darkknight17]

@Evogelion

"Put an experienced rider on the VFR and it spank a busa rider in the twisties. "

Yeah. Dickhead. And what would happen if you put an 'experienced rider' on a BUSA?

[chris71mach1]

god youre an idiot. first, theres a 500cc difference in the size of the engine. how could anything POSSIBLY keep up with such a displacement disadvantage? second, the busa is made for outright speed, the VFR is made as a "best of both worlds" bike between a sportbike and a touring bike. next time, just be more of a douche and compare your busa to a ninja 250.

[darkknight17]

@chris71mach1

Chris YOU'RE THE IDIOT. The comparison was in HOW THE BIKES LOOK TO NON-BIKERS. Duhhhhh

Either way the VFR is whack. What kind of a man rides a VFR?

I would never own one, even if it was given to be free I would sell it and buy a proper bike. A Supersports bike :D

[Rainb0wSeven]

@chris71mach1

Well, to be fair, a Jap 600 sport bike would destroy a Harley, so it's not just displacement that matters.

[DeVeDe6969]

110 hp vs 200? LOOL video

[tsuyagiku]

why all these bad comments ^^ VFR got beaten no shit lol .. hayabusa kicks ass for speed .. ^^

[thevfr800able]

Notting new......stupid video.

[oogercrackle]

the vfr isnt a racing bike anyways.

Who cares.

Its basically showing a fast bike vs a hayabusa.

Theres nothing to get mad about.

[FullTiltLife]

Man, does it ever seem that VFR owners buy their panties a couple sizes too small.

Relax fellas. It is what it is. It is interesting BECAUSE of the contrast. Sometimes the goal is to the difference.

Oh yeah, and I'd be glad to toast a VFR through some twisties on board the mighty Bus any day. :)

[ghostdoghaelo]

@FullTiltLife You're being way too logical and reasonable for Youtube comments, man.

[ZoneTelevision]

@FullTiltLife not at all.... it's just the difference between a 1300cc bike which causes premature ejaculation and a bike that was designed to get you to the same place without forfeiting your manhood. :)

[Markcantfindausernam]

This is such a dumb comparison. Why not compare it to an Aprilia RS125 that looks fast too you nob. At least a CB1300 has the same engine size.

[visorup1]

Yes very good, try again only this time with a few bends in the road and you will see how a car drivers mentality and a pile of shit dont mean crap to a biker who can ride and a good vfr.

[Deathunder]

Hey,the VFR rider is masturbating with the throttle or something?

[ZaKkMuStAiNe]

well im not a vfr or a busa rider. But thats obviously not a fair comparison. 800 against a 1300? huge difference in BHP and capacity.probably a gsxr 750 would be a better comparison wif the vfr. But vfr would probably lose out anw since its more mid range than high end being a sports tourer. It all depends on preference. All bikes are designed for a purpose. VFR being a sports tourer and busa being a hyper bike. Whats impt is the bike serves its purpose. ohh well to each their own opinion.

[DrTudorMarian]

haha, so mouch acting in that clip... the guy on the right (the VFR) acts like he is twisting the acceleration in a big way.. it is allmost caricatural. It is obvious that it is faked/acted because the distance between the camera and the bike stays the same and the MPH/ RPM gow up slowly and without gear change..Dude, I get the point, the orange is round and orange like a grapefruit but are totally diffrent.. same with the bikes.. i guess you have a busa and are a little frustrated by the VFR

[jbsegrest]

@DrTudorMarian As an owner of a 6 gen vfr, I'd say the speed looks legit. Also the chase bike looks like a busa, so naturally it shouldn't be straining to keep pace with the viffer. Furthermore, the chase bike shifts 4 times.

[DrTudorMarian]

@jbsegrest Dude, you're right, the chase bike shifts 4 times, and vhen it gets to 120 it stays in forth. The VFR has the same speed and the guy seems to rev it like crazy. When he pretends to rev it the distance doesn' change! Now if you could explain to me howcome the distance between the chase byke and the wfr doesn't change if he twists the gass in souch a manner as we can see.. And not last, have you seen ANYWONE twist the gass like that???? Maybe a cartoon caracter would do it so agressiv.

[DrTudorMarian]

One would rev it like crazy if one would change gear. The gui on the VFR acts like he is changing gear and revs it like crazy but in fact he is not changing any gear. Now don't ger me wrong, I would not buy the VFR cuz I want to ride in confort in the city. If I want a sportsbyke I woulld take a R1. I don't really care about this comparison , I am shore that in top speed and acceleration busa has the advantage but this video seems fake.

[jbsegrest]

@DrTudorMarian Here's a vid of a top speed run on a stock viffer. You'll have to convert to mph, but 120 mph is around 194 kph. notice how quick he gets to 120 (194 kph) and how long it takes to get from there to his top speed of around 145 (236 kph) indicated. As for why the gap stays the same between the chase bike and the viffer, it just takes skill, but not much of it.

[jbsegrest]

@DrTudorMarian it won't let me post the link, slap this on the end of youtube or search for vfr 800 speed run

/watch?v=zZpHY4yRqiQ

[hiyadroogs]

@DrTudorMarian Simple to explain. The guy on the camera bike is on a Hayabusa, which is why he never needs more than 7500-8000rpm on a partial throttle to stay with the VFR. The VFR is redlining in every gear on full throttle. The busa could have dropped into a higher gear & still not required full throttle to overtake.

[gpzDave]

@DrTudorMarian I agree

[CScotR91]

It's really just Quantity vs Quality.

[nigthepig1]

I have a 98 VFR with 16k on the clock. It still looks like new and drives beautifully. Also have a 2008 CB 1300s which is lovely machine but totally different to VFR . My point is horses for courses.. if want a straight line missile that isn't particularly well made the choose a Hayabusa (or a fast car) .. if want a bike that handles and is an all rounder buy a VFR.

[nickye3]

800 vs. 1300

terrible comparison

[Lexicologist71]

Wow, that Busa must be a real dog. It's a 1300 cc bike, right. Why is the VFR still in the same county. I've done over 1800 miles in 3 days on my VFR, how many Busa riders could walk after that?

[FullTiltLife]

I think the VFR folks must be some of the most sensitive people on two wheels. So much upset and outrage, it is pretty amusing to see.

It is simply a video showing two vehicles running together.

Had I posted a video showing a VFR blowing the doors off of an Suzuki Savage 650, do you think we'd be seeing a slew of comments from PO'ed Savage riders posting up about the injustice of the matchup?

Now carry on whinging.

[theoneandonlyinfidel]

I think it is your title that is throwing this video off.

DECIMATES? LOL!

That's the part where you fail at.

I am beginning to think Busa riders are getting as gay as a lot of the fuggin Harley riders out there. Figures both start with an H... homofabulous!

[stan6818]

I think i understand the purpose of this clip... But the thing is all motorcycle riders no that a Busa in a straight line will nail a Vfr. Lets see the more powerful bike vs the less powerful bike on the twists and turns be more interesting to watch. I have owned both bikes and i hated the Busa. Vfr much better to live with..... Oh and another thing lets put a rs 250 aprilia against a Gsxr 600. straight line bye bye 250. twisty road bye bye Gsxr hope you see my point. Ride safe......

[TheHathaway]

I garantee you'd see savage 650 riders doing the same thing. The motorcycle world is in reality a biased world.

I have a good match up for you. When the new s1000rr comes out go ahead and do a comparison with a busa. STOCK the s1000rr has bhp of 193. Lets see the shitty ass Suzuki hold up with that power to weight ratio. All Suzukis suck period.

[vonzips]

@FullTiltLife People that ride VFR's don't give two shits about "blowing off doors" to some POS savage. Your funny comment about a Veyron v. Smart car is exactly how stupid this comparo is.

[charlesmdebourbon]

@FullTiltLife What you don't understand is that if you made a video of a VFR racing a Suzuki Savage everyone, VFR riders included, would just feel like you wasted their time by making them watch another incredibly pointless and stupid video. You see, it would be less stupid than this video since the Savage and VFR are much closer in displacement than the VFR and Hayabusa. Get it?

[delta425]

Hey, and something else I just found out; an F/A18 Super Hornet is faster than a 'Busa! Who woulda thunk it! BTW, this is the stupidest F'ing video I've ever seen.

[Bazuzeus]

wow ! Incredible ! A 1300cc could be faster than a 800 ??? I'm shocked !

What a stupid video

[TheToekutter]

We needed a video to tell us this? I've owned both a Busa and VFR. While the Busa was a hoot to ride I found the VFR to be the better day to day bike...at least for me.

[macdaddy1600]

true but i love my 1998 vfr and its still fast as hell

[mrgrsmitty]

Of course the Hayabusa is going to kill the VFR...there's difference of about 500cc between the two.

[VRAlexander]

Great comparison! Thanks for sharing...

[mkselecta]

The logic behind this video is complete horsesh*t. Here are some real numbers:

2002 VFR800

1/4 Mile-11.3

0-60-3.4

2005 Ferrari F430

1/4 Mile-11.7

0-60-3.5

There you have it folks. Ferrari F430: looks like it should be fast, but clearly "not built for speed." If you drive one, your car is actually slow and you are a poser.

[papucari]

what is point of this stupid video!!!

[Nelso90]

Comparing these two is like comparing my VF700 to my Dad's VF1100, otherwise known as the V65 Sabre.

I also own a 2002 VFR800, and as it's the fastest thing I've ever ridden, it's plenty fast for me. I love my VFR!

[HunterXray]

You know what I like about my VFR? My luggage options. :D

[macdaddy1600]

i have a 1998 vfr great bike no need for more speed then my vfr its very quick

[Mushwan]

amazing stupid video! :)))))))

[420witchdoctor]

My uncle's riding skill and his Ducati 1000RR would pace that Busa. Only thing the Busa would get him on is top end, but there's no room for that unless you go to the MidWest.

[papucari]

lol :)))

idiot

[420witchdoctor]

lol :)))

love you too, buddy.

[vodicehrr]

are u stupid?????? ducati 1000rr??????????

hahahahhahaa if u mean on cbr1000rr all is true,busa beat cbr1000rr only in top speed,but everityng else_CBR

[420witchdoctor]

Yeah, Ducatis are quick as fuck, man. You don't even know..

[vodicehrr]

u speak english??????

[420witchdoctor]

LOL whatever man, I'm blocking you. You're obviously an idiot.

[Radioaktiv37]

this video is like the answer to a question nobody asked

completely stupid

[macdaddy1600]

I HAVE 1998 VFR GREAT BIKE

[KingKeif04]

he had to know he was not going to win....but i have a 02 vfr800 and i would race just for shits and giggles

[macdaddy1600]

i have 1998 vfr its a fast bike  not like busa still fast vfr is a great bike

[HunterXray]

My first motorcycle was the Honda CB750. I now own an '07 VFR800.

Being only about 31cc more then the CB750, the VFR800 seems to have a lot more power. :)

[marchondaracing]

Man the VFR is a touring bike.. please compare a Hayabusa versus a CBR1000... the Suzuki rider will lose his face

[DeeSwizzle]

I agree. I have a 2000 VFR and it;s a great bike. It's a Sport Touring bike and not even in the same league with the Suzuki. I think this is an unfair caparison. Indeed, both are fantastic machines for the role they're intended.

However, I must give the Interceptor HUGE Kudos for uniqueness :) (but I'm a lil' biased!)

[bajabilly2004]

a cbr 1000? hahahaahahahaahah cmon man....

[matheo15000]

You're kidding right? VFR vs Hayabusa?

VFR: 218kg, 107bhp, 781cc

Busa: 220kg, 194bhp, 1340cc

No more words needed.....

[kamolia]

i understood that they tried to give the idea that not every 2 bikes that look the same perform the same but the point is VFR is just a sport touring and Busa is the Skyline of bikes .... However the V4 still rules just for the record at it's tops the RVF750 top tuned made 197bhp that was between 96 to 2000 just long before they invented the busa

[duketank1]

the only time people talk shit is when they think they have a faster bike than you do. and as far as i am concerned yes busa is fast!! but the viffer still kicks major ass!!! so stop trying to compare apples and oranges you retards!!!

[cptnrickstar]

busa are for fagget's......... and how can you compare a 1.8 litre car to a 3.0 litre car? fucking dumb american fags. You are stupid people.

[darkdante0]

come on ppl, how the fuck you dare to compare a V4 800cc, VS a L4 1300cc.

[FullTiltLife]

The same class? You mean red class vs. blue class? WTF?

[cbrmenace]

Turktheone is right. Not even close to being in the same class.

[turktheone]

They are not even in same class.You can not compare them.On VFR half of the valves arent even opening up to 7000 rpm for fuel economy and big difference on engine size also.

[golf1diesel]

VS*

[golf1diesel]

we want a late literbike cs that busa! that would be a good race

[nefilim314]

I can see the point of the video to show the discrepancy between a Supersport/Sport Touring bike, but I think it'd be more interesting to see something like the Concours-14 vs. ZX-14 to illustrate the difference in body style/weight and tuning and not the sheer power of its plant. This video is the equivalent to comparing the VFR800 to a Ninja 250R.

[Muddg01]

I think the outside observer would probably get the wrong idea from this video. Yes, the Busa is much faster, but the fact is that the VFR is still much faster than most sports cars. So we're talking crazy fast vs. ridiculous fast. From the video it looked like the VFR only (!) topped out just short of 140. Truth be told, that Busa would probably lose head to head with a late model litre bike, but probably not so spectacularly.

[beechkingd]

Very few people that ride busa's actually know how to ride a sport bike. When they call there bike a "sport bike" that is the first clue they have no idea what to do in a corner. Any moron can twist there wrist in a straight line.

[TheMachRider]

very true. I hate to generalize people who buy bikes, but I see an overwhelmingly large number of numbskulls on busas.

[PedroPistons]

hyabusa shouldn't be street legal. to fast!

[FullTiltLife]

I'm astounded at the folk replying who have COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT of the video. It is not that hard, folks. Did we have a clue who would win? Um, yeah, of course.

No need to get defensive about your VFR guys. It is a cool bike, either way.

[Trinith]

It's kind of disturbing isn't it?

[kulimrd]

What a fucking stupid idea compare VFR and Busa?? Really funny....

[stan6818]

I agree! i have a vfr800. Yes a busa would kill it it in a drag. But hey are we shocked!!! NO!!!!! damn what a stupid race lol. get both of them on a twisty track then we shall see. But oh how cool does a VFR look......

[haewien]

What is this shit? 180hp vs 107? lol

btw, review this test, after the V5 VFR came out, and some smart guy tuned the engine to 200hp...

see ya

[jasonmstone]

Am I missing the point? A 1340cc superbike and an 800cc sport tourer? What an utterly asinine comparison. It makes about as much sense as comparing a Ferrari with a Rolls Royce.

[MrPunch09]

If someone gave me a Hayabusa, I would sell it and pay the difference to buy a VFR.

[hondacr60r]

vfr still a wicked quick bike!

[vacantblock]

They are totally different bikes with totally different roles..... Ones an absolute road rocket that looks like a bag of chicken shit, and the other ones a great commuter/sports tourer that looks awesome (I know the looks thing is totally subjective but I had to get it in there as I just hate the looks of the 'busa)

Anyone who cares enough to watch this clip would know the differences!!

[Team118118]

I have a 2005 vfr800.Not sure how much faster the busa would be if the VFR had 1300cc displacement?Besides, now here in Ontario a fine of 50kph over the limit cost you huge!!!Impound bike for week,take license,fine is between $2000 and $10000.I have a hard enough time not getting into shit with the VFR.If you like going to the track, probably a pure sport like a gsxr1000 would kill a Busa.Busa a dying breed at least in my next of the woods.Also I saved between $600 and $900 a year oninsurance.

People read the "Description" before posting comments. Everyone wants to be the one who knows more than someone else.

Literacy is your friend.

[jeff2all]

lol, the busa was still in the same gear when he pulled away from the roll-on. How about a match between two same bikes one

w/mods, the other bone stock.

[saltspringpictures]

Cool!

[1stGoRide]

Nice vid! Seems like a lot of people are missing the point here.

[conner98]

Looks pretty much the same as a suzuki hirumbuska?

Riiight....What you guys gonna test next?Schwinn vs.zx-14 on nitrous?

[mako7828]

lmfao

[FullTiltLife]

That would be a highly entertaining match - I'd be amused by it myself. It would qualify as an "interesting" matchup.

[cjljr41]

There's nothing pointless about showing the obvious. Nice clip.

[FullTiltLife]

Yet you clicked on it anyway? And you missed the simple point of this 'pointless' video. People who are not blessed with massive cerebellums filled with arcane motorcycle knowledge will NOT know the difference between the two.

[willbozr1]

HAHA, nice video. I would hate to be the guy demonstrating the VFR800.. Nice video, gave u 5 stars

[sandman900ss]

Pointless, apparant, obvious conclusion. The VFR a "sport bike"? Wrong label- it's a sport tourer.

[sparklysparks77]

0:41 Gee, you think? :)

[46DOCTOR46]

The VFR sounds a million times better.

[Dukerdr]

He he heee, knew that was coming....All hail the 'Busa!

[kickermsp]

knew that was going to happen
