Thread: 180 MPH on the HW

Damn ......Thats insane.

I would love to have an R1, but the Busa's have been hitting over 220 so an R1 for all out speed is not impressive by comparison. Bikes have horrible aero, the most impressive thing about them is how quick they are from zero up. An R1 with a capable rider could pull about a 10 flat quarter @ 148 or thereabouts, but for having nearly 1HP per 2 pounds, it does not have great top end compared to a car.

Plenty of Busa vids out there, turbo and non-turbo.

oops poop in pants poor guy - actually a guy in nevada said speed gives guys wood true????

I've done 150 in a car a couple years back and I got no wood. If speed makes him horny thats interesting, for me I just get nervous about "what if." I prefer to keep it on the track, I wont do high rates of speed on public roads any longer.

Interstates are great for that stuff though, loooooong straights. 280 freeway here is also very good. I used to get to work 35 miles away in 18/19 minutes doing 130 MPH on the clean parts of the freeway @ 3:30 AM in a beat suspension 69 Firebird 400.

i was talkin to guys about 18 to 20 when it came up kids that were racing bikes a couple said every damn time...

Hmm, well circulation can be cut off in that area so I'd have to guess its a little mental and a little of the simple stimulation. I have wondered if that is one reason women love bikes so much, they are known to be "pussy magnets."

I get no wood either lol, speed for me is a scary feeling in a good way. It’s almost like my first rollercoaster ride; I felt like shiting myself but wanted to do it all over again. I don’t get on the gas on public streets, only race on the track. I have been tempted when some people try to get my attention at a stop light but never gone further than teasing them by letting my engine roar.

aka crotch rocket.

Busa is a pigs bike IMO, I like sporty and quick, not straight liners. It used to be more than 100 pounds over a GSXR 1k, making it over 500 pounds.

I love speed, but cornering fast is more important to me than salt flat speed.

Kata, have you seen the turbo busa clip?

I saw this one on the turbo busa

nuts!!!!! 174 on a bike around turns then 220. nuts, Ive done 145 in a car in mild traffic.

All I know is that’s some insane power for a streetable bike. But I do agree that for a bike having almost as much HP as the bikes weight it’s not nearly as impressive as a car.

Cool, that should cull the gene pool nicely. lol

Go ahead and retract that statement. The Enzo will wax a stock busa. And that isn't even the fastest production car.

I read that bikes are as aerodynamic as full size pickups. Porportionally of course.

lol true, but what are the chances of you racing an Enzo Ferrari. Shiat your chances of seen one on the streets are from extremely slim to none. I saw a clip on a Supercharged Viper take a stock busa; Viper won the race but hey, the busa was right on his tail.


2003 Enzo Ferrai: $600,000 or so and all have been sold

2003 Suzuki Hayabusa: about $12,000 off of ebay

A busa with the right rider will run in the 9s, it will take a car much better than an off the shelf Ferrari to keep up with a bike like that.

My biker buddy in GA was telling me of a guy that launched himself off an overpass on one.

Please God do not let my son get interested in these bikes.

Yeah there are a lot of horror stories out there. I personally had a computer aided drafting teacher who was involved in a motorcycle accident. He survived, but he is now in a nursing home can’t move an inch and with the mind of a 5 year old.

And thats after being in a coma for over a year
