Gary Springett from Swinton Bikes with the Busa at the BMF Kent show
I’m Gary Springett, Regional Manager at Swinton and part time motorbike instructor at East Grinstead Rider Training School. I recently borrowed the Swinton Hayabusa for the weekend and set it up next to our stand at the BMF show in Kent. Here’s my review of the bike…
Well what can I say, the Hayabusa is an absolute blast!
The bike is so well balanced and planted on the road that anyone can be forgiven for cruising at licence losing speeds. The slightest move of the throttle catapults you to a higher speed in less than a blink of an eye – it’s an outstanding bike!
The only negative feedback I would give (and to be fair to the bike this has more to do with my age than the bike) is that it’s a bit of a bone shaker and the ride position gives me neck ache after about an hour.

I took some pictures of the bike next to our stand at the BMF show. The Busa certainly got lots of attention with its custom paint job.
Thanks to Luke for the loan of the bike – it was brilliant fun!
